Robert William Pickton was convicted in 2007 of the second-degree murder of six women. Arrested in 2002, he was the subject of a lengthy investigation that yielded evidence of numerous other murders. Pickton was charged with the deaths of an additional twenty women, many of them from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, but these charges were dropped by the Crown in 2010.
