The first RCMP officer to investigate serial killer Robert Pickton has now told the Missing Women Inquiry he wasn’t worries about the farmer finding out he was being watched, because that may “slow him down.”
Under cross-examination by lawyer Jason Gratl, retired RCMP Staff Sergeant Mike Connor says he couldn’t see the downside of Pickton’s friends tipping him off he was under investigation in 1999.
“If Pickton knows the police are looking into him, my thought would be he’d likely slow down or stop what he was doing,” he said at the inquiry.
More than a dozen women disappeared from the Downtown Eastside between 1998, when Connor was assigned to the file, and 2002, when Pickton was arrested.
