Whistleblower: Canadian Police Could Have Arrested Serial Killer of Women 3 Three Years Earlier
In Canada, new details have emerged about alleged police negligence in the case of a British Columbia serial killer who murdered scores of women. Catherine Galliford, an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, says police could have nabbed the killer, Robert Pickton, more than three years before he was eventually arrested. According to Galliford, police had enough evidence to search Pickton’s farm in 1999 but took no action. Police had already compiled a file on Pickton that included his prior arrest for stabbing a sex trade worker multiple times on his property. Despite being a potential suspect in the disappearances of a number of women who turned out to be his victims, surveillance on Pickton was halted after just two weeks because his trailer was located too far from a road to be visible. No further action was taken. Pickton went on to kill 14 women during the intervening period until his 2002 arrest, which itself resulted from an unrelated firearms case. The remains of 33 women were ultimately found on Pickton’s farm. He claims to have killed 49 women. Galliford has also accused the officers investigating the women’s disappearances of sexually harassing her, as well as neglecting the case by watching pornography on the job and leaving work early to go drinking. She is slated to testify at a public inquiry into the police’s handling of the murders in January.

THE DOCUMENTARY "Long Island Serial Killer"
WHEN | WHERE Monday night at 9 on A&E
Marking the anniversary of the discovery of human remains at Oak Beach, A&E and British production company Blast! Films have pieced together a portrait of one of the most shocking serial murder cases in Long Island history. Viewed partly from the perspective of the victims' families, it's searing and often difficult to watch, but also the most complete television account to date. Many of the details of the case have already appeared in this paper, but the power of the program lies in its scope and perspective -- of the lives lost and of a sex industry hidden from public view that aided and ultimately abetted a killer, or killers.
