1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,840
Before we begin this special 10 
part series, the top 10 

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,520
anomalies in the Robert Pickton 
case. 

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,480
There's a few. 
Important things I want you to 

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,680
know. 
Through my. 

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,200
Year and a. 
Half of research. 

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,080
Deep analysis and deconstructing
this case Recently I have found 

7
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,080
even more disturbing news about 
Robert Pickton's final day and 

8
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,560
the network that may have 
operated alongside of him. 

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,320
I'll be disclosing this in a 
special episode coming soon. 

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,360
Also my dear friend and Co host 
David Vela, former mafia hitman 

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,760
is now facing terminal cancer. 
I'll be doing a special super 

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,960
episode of all the episodes 
we've ever done together with 

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,920
some behind the scenes 
commentary. 

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,840
David is also going to be doing 
one last podcast with me where 

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,760
he's going to be sharing stuff 
that he's never talked about 

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,240
before publicly. 
As he said, please don't release

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,720
this till after I'm gone. 
I don't want the cops arresting 

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,760
me on my deathbed. 
And also, I'll be launching a 

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,520
national speaking tour exploring
the dark psychology of 

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,840
predators. 
Unsolved clusters. 

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,800
Of missing people across North 
America and real strategies for 

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,240
defending yourself off and 
online. 

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,080
This includes my new system I've
been working on for over a year.

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,360
Dark jiu Jitsu. 
Mental self-defense against 

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,880
manipulators, emotional 
predators, and just toxic 

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,480
influences. 
Thank you for being here this. 

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Isn't just another podcast, this
is the start of something 

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,840
bigger. 
And I can't wait to meet you. 

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:55,960
In person. 
Welcome, dear listeners to The 

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Dark Mind Detective. 
This first episode is really an 

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,280
introductory episode. 
I'm going to highlight the top 

32
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,840
10 anomalies of the Robert 
Picton case, and then I did a 

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,600
breakdown of pertaining to each 
one of these anomalies. 

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,040
Plus I also added some bonus 
material. 

35
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,800
Thank you so much for listening 
today. 

36
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,160
Together, we're going to start 
embarking into the chilling 

37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,320
depth of this case. 
We embark on a journey into a 

38
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,480
case that defies conventional 
understanding, a labyrinth of 

39
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,920
secrets, of systemic failures 
that continue to haunt the many 

40
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,280
people that were so deeply 
affected by this case in a 

41
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,840
community forever scarred by 
this horror. 

42
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Please forget everything you 
think you know about the serial 

43
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,520
killer Robert Pickton, for the 
story of Robert Pickton is not 

44
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,720
merely a tale of a lone monster.
Forget what you think you know 

45
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,120
about the serial killer Robert 
Pickton, for the story of Robert

46
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Pickton is not merely a tale of 
a lone monster, but a disturbing

47
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,560
expose of a darkness far more 
pervasive. 

48
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,040
My name is Mark. 
I am the dark mind detective, 

49
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,680
and the name Robert Picton 
conjures an image of a pig farm,

50
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,280
a gruesome discovery, and a man 
convicted of murder. 

51
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,440
But beneath the surface of the 
official narrative lies a 

52
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,640
swirling vortex of anomalies, 
head scratching inconsistencies 

53
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,680
that demand our attention. 
These are the whispers in the 

54
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,120
dark, the unanswered questions 
that transformed A horrific 

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,480
crime scene into a chilling 
mystery, a testament on how 

56
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,200
easily truth can be obscured and
justice perhaps, denied. 

57
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:09,440
Please join me as we pull back 
the veil on the top 10 anomalies

58
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,040
of the Picton case. 
An attempt to decipher hidden 

59
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:21,040
truths within. 
So anomaly won the unseen hands.

60
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,200
The 40 plus unidentified male 
DNA profiles. 

61
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,400
Our first anomaly strikes at the
very core at the official 

62
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,720
narrative. 
Imagine if you will, the grim 

63
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,320
crime scene at the Picton farm. 
Forensic teams meticulously 

64
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,760
shifting through the horror and 
made a discovery that should 

65
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,480
have shattered every 
preconceived notion. 

66
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:57,040
DNA from 40 unidentified men, 
not just anywhere, but on the 

67
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,840
body parts and evidence directly
linked to the victims. 

68
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Think about that for a moment. 
40 distinct genetic signatures, 

69
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:16,080
all pointing to individuals 
unknown, yet connected to the 

70
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,880
very fabric of these heinous 
crimes. 

71
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,720
The implications is chilling, 
isn't it? 

72
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,000
This wasn't merely the work of a
solitary fiend. 

73
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,760
This discovery screams of 
multiple predators, a network of

74
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,360
accomplices, perhaps far 
grander, more sinister criminal 

75
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,440
enterprise operating in the 
shadows yet. 

76
00:05:56,220 --> 00:05:58,740
The implications is chilling, 
isn't it? 

77
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:02,940
This wasn't merely the work of a
solitary fiend. 

78
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:08,180
This discovery screams of 
multiple perpetrators, a network

79
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:14,700
of accomplices, or perhaps a far
grander, more sinister criminal 

80
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:16,940
enterprise operating in the 
shadows. 

81
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Yet what happened to this 
monumental piece of evidence? 

82
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:27,000
According to our sources, this 
profound finding, so fundamental

83
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,080
to understand the true scope of 
the horror, was barely 

84
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,320
investigated, scarcely discussed
in public. 

85
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,640
It raises the immediate, 
unsettling question, why? 

86
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Why was such a critical thread 
left untugged, allowing the 

87
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,200
darkness to remain 
unilluminated? 

88
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,080
Anomaly, too, The betrayal of 
trust. 

89
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:03,320
The social visit by RCMP 
Corporal Frank Henley, our next 

90
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,280
anomaly, plunges us into the 
murky waters of official 

91
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,600
conduct. 
A tale of a supposed social 

92
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,360
visit that speaks volumes about 
the potential corruptions and 

93
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,280
the staggering breach of 
investigative protocol. 

94
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,440
In March 2001, at a critical 
junction in the investigation, 

95
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,440
RCMP Corporal Frank Henley, a 
Canadian federal police officer 

96
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,840
for those who are not in Canada,
paid a visit to Picton's farm. 

97
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800
But this was no ordinary police 
inquiry. 

98
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Henley went alone in a highly 
and regular act in itself when 

99
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,440
dealing with a potential serial 
killer. 

100
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,360
And then the unthinkable 
happened. 

101
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,480
He reportedly divulged the names
of two individuals that were 

102
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,080
actively informing on Picton. 
Think of the gravity of that a 

103
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,320
police officer revealing the 
identities of his own informants

104
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,560
to the very suspect they were 
trying to ensnare. 

105
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:13,520
This is a staggering breach of 
investigative protocol and its 

106
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:21,360
actions so inexplicable, so 
fundamentally bizarre to police 

107
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:28,320
work, and counterproductive. 
It leaves only two terrifying 

108
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,080
possibilities, either gross 
incompetence on a scale that 

109
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,039
beggars belief, or something far
more sinister, outright 

110
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,200
corruption. 
Protecting informants is a 

111
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,080
bedrock of law enforcement. 
To compromise them so brazenly 

112
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,360
suggest a motive beyond error. 
The single act casts a long, 

113
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,360
dark shadow over the integrity 
of the entire investigation, 

114
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:03,640
making us question of who was 
truly being protected and from 

115
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:09,440
what. 
So an anomaly 3 the veil of 

116
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,760
secrecy, millions of documents 
being withheld. 

117
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,600
As we dive deeper into the 
shadows of the Picton case, we 

118
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,280
encounter anomaly that speaks 
volumes about transparency, or 

119
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,040
rather, the profound of lack of 
thereof. 

120
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,320
During the extensive 
investigation, police and 

121
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,120
various government agencies 
generated millions upon millions

122
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,240
of pages of documents, a 
mountain of information 

123
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,000
meticulously compiled, detailing
every facet of the inquiry. 

124
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Yet here's where the mystery 
deepens. 

125
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:57,200
A staggering 80 to 85% of these 
documents have never seen the 

126
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,520
light of day. 
They remain locked away, hidden 

127
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,920
from public scrutiny and any 
Western criminal justice system.

128
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Such a level of secrecy is 
virtually unheard of. 

129
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:15,600
It begs the question, what 
truths are so sensitive, so 

130
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,680
damaging, that they must be 
shielded from the public eye? 

131
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,680
This extreme withholding of 
information naturally feels 

132
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:31,160
suspicion, not just a cover up, 
but an intense institutional 

133
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,040
effort to protect reputations, 
to shield certain individual 

134
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,120
agencies from accountability. 
Maybe, one could ask, this 

135
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,680
anomaly suggests that the 
official narrative we've been 

136
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:49,640
given at best is incomplete, or 
at worse, a carefully 

137
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:56,800
constructed for sod designed to 
obscure a far more uncomfortable

138
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:03,040
reality. 
So anomaly #4 blinded by apathy,

139
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:10,440
failure to inspect evidence in 
plain sight, Our journeys 

140
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,280
through the anomalies bring us 
to a point of profound 

141
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:21,240
investigative failure. 
A moment where critical evidence

142
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,440
seemingly within its grasp was 
inexplicably ignored. 

143
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Imagine this police having 
received disturbing tips that 

144
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:36,240
Robert Picton was disposing of 
human remains and 45 gallon 

145
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,160
drums and actually followed him.
And they watched them transport 

146
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,120
these large containers to a 
rendering plant. 

147
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,640
They had them insight, a direct 
lead, a chilling suspicion. 

148
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Yet despite the specific 
intelligence, despite the visual

149
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,080
confirmation of his actions, the
officers never once checked the 

150
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:04,880
contents of those drums. 
This isn't merely an oversight, 

151
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,800
it's a fundamental breakdown of 
basic investigative procedures. 

152
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,360
To have a lead, to have 
witnesses the very act that 

153
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,880
aligns with that lead, and then 
fail to take the most obvious 

154
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,280
critical step to look inside, is
baffling. 

155
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:32,280
This is a bizarre and 
unforgivable lapse, one that is 

156
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,240
likely allowed Critical 
evidence, perhaps even more, 

157
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,040
remains to be to be destroyed or
lost forever. 

158
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,800
It paints A disturbing picture 
of an investigation Hanford, not

159
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,560
just by complexity, but by a 
chilling apathy, A reluctance to

160
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:56,400
confront the full, horrifying 
truth that was staring them in 

161
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:06,360
the face. 
Anomaly 5 ignored screams a key 

162
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,880
witness saw picked and skinning 
a woman. 

163
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:16,800
Prepare yourself for this next 
anomaly. 

164
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,360
It is perhaps one of the most 
horrifying and infuriating. 

165
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:28,120
It speaks to a direct witness 
account of unspeakable 

166
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:34,280
brutality, an account that is 
inexplicably never fully 

167
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,280
pursued. 
A witness, Lynn Allenson, came 

168
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,720
forward with a chilling 
testimony. 

169
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,040
She claimed to seen Robert 
Picton in his barn, engaging in 

170
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:52,560
the grotesque act of skinning 
the body of a woman who was hung

171
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:57,000
there. 
A direct first hand observation 

172
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:01,800
of a murder, A scream from the 
shadows that should have 

173
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,920
reverberated throughout the 
entire investigation. 

174
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,240
Yet what happened to this 
critical piece of evidence? 

175
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,120
According to our sources, 
Ellingson interview was 

176
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,000
mishandled. 
Her tip, despite the profound 

177
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,720
implications, was never fully or
properly pursued. 

178
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,880
It was sidelined, dismissed, 
reportedly due to internal 

179
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,240
disagreements and poor strategic
planning within the police 

180
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,200
force. 
Think of the implications a 

181
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,320
potential witness to the very 
act of murder, a chance to gain 

182
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,480
direct insight into the killer's
method. 

183
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,040
Ignored because of bureaucratic 
infighting. 

184
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,200
This anomaly is a stark reminder
of how internal dysfunctions can

185
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,280
blind an investigation to its 
most vital clues, allowing a 

186
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,720
monster to continue his reign of
terror or the cries of his 

187
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,720
victims and those who witness 
his depravity falls on deaf 

188
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,200
ears. 
Anomaly Sex. 

189
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,040
The Unholy Nexus. 
Piggy Palace. 

190
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Our journey takes us to a place 
that defies belief. 

191
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,640
A location that's not merely a 
crime scene, but a disturbing 

192
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,680
social club. 
A Nexus where the lines between 

193
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:38,800
law enforcement, politics and 
the criminal underworld blurs 

194
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:46,040
into an unsettling gathering. 
I speak of course, of Piggy 

195
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:51,520
Palace, an after hour club 
located on one of the Picton 

196
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,880
Brothers property. 
It wasn't some isolated hidden 

197
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,360
den of depravity. 
It was a place where off duty 

198
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,400
police officers, politicians, 
bikers and various underworld 

199
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,160
figures mingled, partied. 
Our investigation highlights the

200
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,800
bizarre nature of this 
arrangement. 

201
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,520
It was a melting pot, a place 
where those sworn to upheld the 

202
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,600
law rubs shoulders with those 
who routinely broke it. 

203
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:28,560
This creates an environment rife
with potential conflicts of 

204
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,000
interest, a breeding ground for 
compromise, investigation, and 

205
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,080
perhaps even even outright 
corruption. 

206
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,880
How can an objective 
investigation proceed when the 

207
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,000
very individuals tasked with 
solving the crimes were in fact,

208
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,320
in their off hours socializing 
with the suspect's inner circle,

209
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:57,320
or even the suspect himself? 
Piggy Palestine's as a chilling 

210
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:03,280
symbol of how deeply entrenched 
the rot has become, implicating 

211
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,200
the idea that this was merely 
the work of a single isolated 

212
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,400
predator. 
Anomaly 7. 

213
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,040
The convenient narrative of the 
lone wolf. 

214
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:24,319
Insistent Despite the mounting 
evidence of a broader, more 

215
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:28,359
complex criminal ecosystem 
surrounding Robert Picton, a 

216
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,160
persistent narrative has been 
pushed to an official line that 

217
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,480
insists he acted alone. 
This is our 7th anomaly, the 

218
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,240
lone wolf insistence. 
We've already discussed the 

219
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,920
discovery of DNA from over 40 
unidentified men on victim 

220
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:50,280
related evidence, a fact that 
screams of multiple actors. 

221
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,760
We explored the unsettling 
social dynamics of Piggy Palace,

222
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,840
where law enforcement and 
criminals coexisted. 

223
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,240
But beyond this was a constant 
stream of various individuals 

224
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320
coming and going from the 
Picton's property. 

225
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,560
A virtual a revolving doors of 
questionable characters. 

226
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,840
Yet in the face of this 
overwhelming circumstantial 

227
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,960
forensic evidence, the official 
narrative remains stubbornly 

228
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,720
fixed on the idea of a solitary 
killer. 

229
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,680
Why? 
Why the insistence of 

230
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,480
simplifying the case that was 
clearly anything but simple? 

231
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:38,480
Our investigation finds this 
bizarre precisely because it 

232
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,240
disregards a mountain of 
evidence pointing to a much 

233
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,920
wider network of criminal 
activity. 

234
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,560
This anomaly suggests a 
deliberate attempt to control 

235
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,840
the narrative, to present a more
palatable, less complicated 

236
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,560
version of events, perhaps to 
avoid exposing the deeper, the 

237
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,000
more systemic failures that 
allowed such horrors to unfold. 

238
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,880
Anomaly ate the destruction and 
the loss of key evidence. 

239
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,840
As we approach the darker 
corners of this case, we 

240
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,080
confront an anomaly that strikes
at the very heart of justice, 

241
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,320
the inexplicable loss of Kia 
evidence within the justice 

242
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,800
system itself. 
Imagine this files from the 

243
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,880
critical 1997 case where Robert 
Picton was charged with 

244
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,840
attempted murder of a woman, a 
case where he almost succeeded 

245
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,960
in taking life, was actually 
destroyed by the British 

246
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,680
Columbia Criminal Justice 
Branch. 

247
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Destroyed while he was under 
investigation for potentially 

248
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,040
dozens of murders. 
This is not merely negligence. 

249
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,360
This is an act that defines 
comprehension. 

250
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:06,400
And it doesn't end there. 
Critical documents, vital clues 

251
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,400
disappearing into the ether, and
any competent justice system. 

252
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,640
The preservation of evidence is 
paramount. 

253
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,640
To destroy or to lose critical 
files in an ongoing serial 

254
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:26,160
murder investigation is is 
almost unthinkable. 

255
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,520
This anomaly suggests a 
deliberate effort to erase 

256
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:37,120
certain truths to ensure that 
specific pieces of puzzles never

257
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,840
see the light of day, raising 
profound questions about who 

258
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,000
benefits from the systematic 
destruction of evidence and why.

259
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,600
Let's bring us to 9. 
Anomaly 9. 

260
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,240
Unaccountable silence. 
No senior officials held 

261
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,560
accountable. 
Following a case riddled with 

262
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:08,440
such catastrophic investigative 
failures, one would expect A 

263
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,520
reckoning, accountability, 
disciplinary actions, perhaps 

264
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:18,280
even charges against those 
responsible for systemic 

265
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,320
breakdowns. 
Yet in our 9th Anomaly reveals a

266
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,080
chilling silence. 
Despite the glaring errors, the 

267
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,200
miss opportunities, the 
inexplicable decision that 

268
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,800
allowed Robert Picton to 
continue his reign of terror. 

269
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:39,480
No senior officer or government 
officials were disciplined or 

270
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,560
charged. 
None. 

271
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:47,760
In most democracies, such 
profound, tragic failures of 

272
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,520
justice would lead to 
resignations, public inquiries 

273
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,520
and prosecutions. 
Here, it led to what our 

274
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,400
investigation describes as a 
whitewashed inquiry, an 

275
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,720
investigation designed not to 
uncover the full truth but to 

276
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,640
protect the reputations of those
in power. 

277
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:16,200
This anomaly speaks to a deeply 
entrenched culture of impunity, 

278
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,400
where those at the top are 
shielded from consequences of 

279
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,280
their actions or inactions. 
It leaves a bitter taste, a 

280
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:31,920
sense that justice in this 
instant was not just delayed or 

281
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,600
denied, it was actively 
subverted to protect the 

282
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:44,440
powerful. 
Anomaly 10 Our final anomaly 

283
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,520
brings us to the very attempt at
closure. 

284
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,200
The official inquiry, Light on 
the Darkness, The Opal 

285
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Commission report tasked with 
examining the failures of the 

286
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Picton investigation was 
presented as a the definitive 

287
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,800
account. 
Yet our sources reveal A 

288
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,880
disturbing truth. 
This report dismissed all 

289
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,000
allegations of a cover up as 
ludicrous. 

290
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Despite the multitude of 
unanswered questions that 

291
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,600
continue to plague this case. 
This dismissal, this 

292
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,600
whitewashing of the truth, left 
the public with more questions 

293
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,000
and answers. 
The official story, meticulously

294
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,560
crafted, remains deeply 
unsatisfying to anyone who dares

295
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:51,080
to examine the facts closely. 
This narrative design to close 

296
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,760
the book, to move on, but in 
doing so, it perpetrates the 

297
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,720
very secrecy, the lack of 
accountability that allowed the 

298
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,360
horrors to unfold. 
This anomaly serves as a stark 

299
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:09,720
reminder that sometimes the most
dangerous lies are the ones told

300
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,440
by that are officially 
sanctioned. 

301
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:19,360
And then we also in the part 10 
of my series, we deeply explore 

302
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:27,160
of why Robert Picton wasn't 
reinterviewed when he boasted to

303
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,080
his undercover, the undercover 
officer that was posing as his 

304
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,520
jail cellmate, that he murdered 
49 women, wanted to make it an 

305
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:43,200
even 5 O, but he got sloppy. 
Why didn't they reinterview him 

306
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,480
about this? 
They could have got names they 

307
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,000
could have got when he did it. 
And also it's worth mentioning 

308
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,840
that he had an amazing ability 
in his interrogation to recall 

309
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,880
times, dates, places, names. 
Very troubling. 

310
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,400
That would have brought a lot of
closure, and it would have made 

311
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,520
the case against him so much 
more stronger. 

312
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,880
The case of Robert Picton is not
just a Canadian tragedy. 

313
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,560
It is a chilling testament of 
what happens when power, secrecy

314
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:29,000
and apathy collide. 
It is a story that transcends 

315
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:35,360
the horrific acts. 
It is a story that transcends 

316
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,680
the horrific acts of a single 
individual, revealing A systemic

317
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:46,880
rot that allowed a monster to 
thrive and countless lives to be

318
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,080
lost. 
As a dark Mind detective, my 

319
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:56,520
purpose is to illuminate these 
shadows, to challenge the 

320
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:02,120
convenient narratives, to seek 
the uncomfortable truths that 

321
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:08,280
lie buried beneath the layers of
officialdom and denial. 

322
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,200
The anomalies we we'll expose 
are not mere footnotes. 

323
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,080
They are a gaping wound in the 
fabric of justice, wounds that 

324
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:25,440
continue to fester. 
They remind us that vigilance is

325
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,320
paramount, that questioning is 
essential. 

326
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:35,440
The pursuit of truth, no matter 
how dark or disturbing, is the 

327
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,200
duty we owe to the victims and 
ourselves. 

328
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,480
Thank you for joining me for 
this series, The Dark Mind 

329
00:26:46,480 --> 00:28:56,160
Detective. 
Before we go, it's important you

330
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,840
know you're not just listening 
to a podcast. 

331
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,120
You're investing in something 
real, something powerful. 

332
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,640
For the past six years, Mark 
Devereaux has worked quietly 

333
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,920
behind the scenes, helping 
families through their darkest 

334
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,600
moments. 
He's posted hundreds of missing 

335
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,560
persons alerts, given voices to 
the voiceless. 

336
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,880
And when people were found, he 
always removed the posts out of 

337
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,560
respect, out of integrity. 
And he never monetized that 

338
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,320
work. 
He did it as a service because 

339
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,840
someone had to. 
Now he's entering a new chapter.

340
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,840
Mark is launching a national 
speaking tour, not just to tell 

341
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,520
stories, but to connect face to 
face, city by city. 

342
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,400
To go deeper into the world of 
dark psychology, to expose 

343
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,120
what's been hidden and to teach 
real tools for staying safe in a

344
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,880
world that too often hides 
predators in plain sight. 

345
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,960
There's no one else in true 
crime doing what Mark is doing. 

346
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,320
This isn't just about mystery. 
It's about meaning. 

347
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,880
It's about forensic depth, hard 
won truth, and the voices of 

348
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,360
families and survivors who 
deserve to be heard. 

349
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,800
He's spent years developing a 
system, a new kind of true 

350
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,480
crime, One that doesn't just 
show the darkness, but gives you

351
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,160
the light to navigate through 
it. 

352
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,360
It's called Dark Jiu Jitsu, a 
mental defence system for the 

353
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:27,120
real world, online, offline, for
the subtle and the overt. 

354
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,800
It's how you protect yourself 
and those you love. 

355
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,280
So if you're listening, join 
him. 

356
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,200
Mark just launched A Substack to
build a private coalition of 

357
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,800
people who care. 
Sign up for the e-mail list. 

358
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,560
Become a member. 
Because this is more than 

359
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,760
content. 
It's a community, a movement. 

360
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,560
Those who support the fundraiser
aren't just helping fund a tour,

361
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,360
they're helping bring real 
conversations to cities across 

362
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,760
the country. 
And they'll receive 

363
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,600
complimentary tickets when Mark 
visits their town. 

364
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,240
Your voice matters. 
Your input matters. 

365
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,320
Mark wants to hear what you want
to see. 

366
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,200
What would make this live show 
unforgettable for you? 

367
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Because without you, none of 
this is possible. 

368
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,080
Thank you for being part of 
something that matters. 

369
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,360
We're just getting started.
