The Search
It was an overwhelming task to organize the search of Pickton’s
messy seven-hectare farm,
cluttered with trailers, ramshackle
outbuildings, and piles of debris and dirt. Two weeks into
the search,
the police find some evidence and charge Pickton with two counts of
murder.
He makes so-called confessions during an interrogation and to
an under-cover officer.
