Summary:

 

She was 26 years-old at DFM, she was last seen by her husband on 23-Nov-01 near the Astoria Hotel. She was reported missing on 30-Nov-01. Her DNA was found on the Robert’s Coquitlam pig farm. It is believed that her body was dismembered and fed to the animals on the farm.

Robert was arrested and charged with multiple counts of First-degree murder on 22-Feb-02. Robert’s trail was set for 8-Jan-07.

An 18 month investigation on the farm found approximately 32 different female DNA sources through out the property. Only 27 charges were originally placed against Pickton with approximately 4 other women’s cases either pending identification or more evidence.

Judge James Williams placed a publication ban on court proceedings on 6-Dec-02. He also rejected one un-identified female for lack of evidence on 2-Mar-06. On 9-Aug-06 he reduced the charges again from 26 to 6 counts with the opportunity to seek another trail for the other 20 cases after the conclusion of the first trail.

On 9-Dec-07 after 9 days of deliberation the jury returned a verdict of ‘Guilty to six counts of Second-degree murder’.

On 11-Dec-07 BC Supreme Court Judge James Williams sentenced Robert to life, serving six life sentenced concurrently with no eligibility for parole for 25 years.
