The primary investigator of Vancouver’s Missing Women file says she doesn’t believe her superior officers had any real desire to search for a serial killer in 1998.
That’s when Vancouver Police had evidence Robert Pickton was murdering women, but he was not arrested until 2002.
When a working group on the file dissolved in september of 1998, Detective Lori Shenher says she didn’t have the resources, or power, to pursue the investigation on her own.
“…..The appropriate people to investigate it are the Major Crime section. There’s a lot of things that were going on at that time under Chief Chambers that were on paper and I felt like this was very much a paper squad. It was a bit of a shell game. I don’t think it was really going to turn into actual investigators actually doing this work.”
Earlier, Shenher told Missing Women commissioner Wally Oppal breaking the chain of command could have been career suicide.
