This is the true story and gruesome details, about the murders of 49 women from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, about legal loopholes, and about pride and prejudice of a dysfunctional multi-jurisdictional team of investigators. All these facts barred the team from making informed decisions which would've prevented the Canadian serial killer - Robert William (Willie) Pickton - from continuing to kill women. Pickton, who is suspected of killing 49 women, was eventually convicted in December of 2007 for the second-degree murder of six women and was sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole for 25 years - the longest sentence then available under Canadian law for murder.
