n February 5, 2002, the arrest of Robert Pickton marked a pivotal moment in the investigation into the disappearances of numerous women in British Columbia, Canada. Constable Nathan Wells of the RCMP's Coquitlam Detachment played a crucial role in obtaining a search warrant after receiving information about Pickton's possession of an illegal firearm, specifically a Mac 10 FULL AUTO handgun.

Prompted by a former truck driver for the Pickton family who disclosed the presence of illegal firearms on the property, law enforcement swiftly moved to secure a search warrant. The subsequent raid on Pickton's pig farm on February 5 revealed not only several illegal and unregistered firearms but also disturbing evidence linking missing women to the property.

During the search, investigators uncovered women's clothing, shoes, jewelry, and even personal items like an asthma inhaler prescribed to Sereena Abotsway, one of the missing women. The discovery of Mona Wilson's blood in a motorhome further escalated the severity of the situation. Pickton was re-arrested on February 22, 2002, and initially charged with two counts of murder. However, as the investigation progressed, a staggering total of 26 murder charges were eventually laid against him.

While in custody at the Surrey jail, Pickton unknowingly shared a cell with an undercover RCMP officer. Believing the officer to be another detainee, Pickton made chilling admissions, confessing to the murders of 49 women and expressing a desire to make it 50.

Simultaneously, the Pickton pig farm transformed into the largest crime scene in Canadian history, with extensive forensic efforts undertaken to recover evidence. This included the collection of 200,000 DNA samples and the meticulous sifting through 383,000 cubic yards of soil in search of human remains, amounting to a staggering cost of nearly $70 million.

Additionally, incriminating videotapes emerged, featuring conversations with Pickton's acquaintances. Scott Chubb, a friend of Pickton, recounted Pickton suggesting a method to kill a female heroin addict by injecting her with windshield washer fluid. Another tape revealed Pickton allegedly discussing his modus operandi for murdering sex workers, involving handcuffing, strangling, bleeding, and gutting them before feeding their remains to pigs. These tapes provided further damning evidence against Pickton, shedding light on the extent of his depravity and callousness.

What is love bombing?  -Video MP4-

 Special guest. @narcissist_survivor

 Love bombing is a form of manipulation that traps victims in a web of fake affection.

We will also examine Paul Burnado's incredible manipulation skills.

The strategies used by expert manipulators known as DARVO are described by @narcissist_survivor.

Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender - Used in maintaining control and perpetuating abuse.

Dark psychology frequently employs the manipulative technique known as "love bombing" to influence another person's feelings and behaviour. 

In order to instill a sense of dependency and emotional attachment, it entails showering a person with excessive affection, notice, and flattery. 

This tactic can be employed in various contexts, including romantic relationships, friendships, and even cults. 

The goal of a love bomb is to forge a close emotional connection that makes the target more vulnerable to manipulation and control.

Podcast Summary: Gladiator School - Conversations with David Vella

Step into the gritty underworld of organized crime and prison life with "Gladiator School," a gripping podcast that delves deep into the life and experiences of David Vella, a former hitman for the Colombian Cartel, Mafia, and outlaw bikers.

 In this riveting interview, Vella opens up about his years spent in the criminal underworld, shedding light on his involvement in drug trafficking, extortion, and contract killing for some of the most notorious criminal organizations.

Vella's journey takes a chilling turn as he discusses his time at Collins Bay Penitentiary, a maximum- and medium-security federal prison in Kingston, Ontario, infamously dubbed "Gladiator School." This name stems from the prison's reputation for housing a volatile and challenging inmate population, as well as its history of violent incidents and its role in shaping a rugged and competitive prison culture.

Welcome to the Vancouver True Crime Podcast! In this episode, we delve into a chilling encounter shared by Henny, a young lady with a passion for traveling. While relaxing in a peaceful Burnaby BC park, Henny experienced something unsettling that she captured on video and shared with us.

As the host of this podcast, I have built a strong connection with our audience, and I am grateful for the testimonies, experiences, and show ideas they contribute. This episode provides a platform for Henny to share her firsthand experiences in the current climate of Metro Vancouver, shedding light on the importance of personal safety.

Join us as we explore Henny's story and discuss the common-sense advice that can help keep you safe in various situations. We believe in fostering a collaborative environment where we can learn from one another and raise awareness about true crime incidents in Vancouver.

1. Stay Aware of Your Surroundings: Always be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe in any situation, don't hesitate to remove yourself from it.

2. Set Limits with Alcohol: While it's okay to enjoy a drink or two, it's essential to know your limits and drink responsibly. Excessive alcohol consumption can impair judgment and make you vulnerable to potential risks.

3. Go Out with Trusted Friends: Stick to a group of friends you trust and look out for each other. Avoid going out alone, especially to unfamiliar places.

4. Keep Your Phone Charged: Ensure your phone is fully charged before heading out and have important contacts saved, like a friend or family member you can call in case of emergency.

5. Don't Accept Drinks from Strangers: While it's a nice gesture, it's safer to avoid accepting drinks from people you don't know or trust.

6. Have a Transportation Plan: Plan your transportation in advance. If possible, arrange for a designated driver or use reputable rideshare services to get home safely.

7. Be Mindful of Social Media: Avoid sharing real-time updates of your location and activities on social media. This can help protect your privacy and security.

8. Dress Comfortably and Confidently: Wear attire that makes you feel confident and comfortable. You don't have to dress a certain way to fit in; be yourself.

9. Avoid Dark, Isolated Areas: Stick to well-lit and populated areas when walking alone or with friends. Avoid shortcuts through secluded places, especially at night.

10. Trust Your Intuition: If someone or something doesn't feel right, don't ignore your gut feeling. It's better to be safe than sorry.

11. Learn Basic Self-Defense: Consider taking self-defense classes to boost your confidence and feel more empowered in challenging situations.

12. Know the Venue's Emergency Exits: Familiarize yourself with the emergency exits and escape routes at the places you visit. In case of any emergencies, you'll know how to exit quickly.

13. Avoid Leaving Drinks Unattended: If you need to step away from your drink, either finish it or get a new one when you return. Leaving a drink unattended can make it susceptible to tampering.

14. Respect Personal Boundaries: Treat others with respect, and expect the same in return. If someone is making you uncomfortable, don't be afraid to assert yourself and set clear boundaries.

15. Have a Backup Plan for Accommodations: If you're staying out late and away from home, have a backup plan for accommodations if needed. Don't rely solely on others for a safe place to stay.

Toxic relationships can affect anyone, regardless of gender, and have the potential to be the most destructive events in our lives.

Chantal offers advice on putting together a safety plan, including finding a secure place to stay, gathering important papers, and setting up covert communication channels to guarantee a smooth and secure breakup.

We talk about the value of keeping track of evidence like text messages, emails, and even pictures of physical injuries. Documenting instances of abuse or toxic behaviour can be crucial for legal reasons.
