1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,080
And this series will be asking 
the question, why do so many 

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,160
people go missing in British 
Columbia? 

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,360
Who are these individuals and 
what led them to such a fate? 

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,480
These lost souls, their dreams, 
their struggles, each had 

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,160
beating heart. 
Person who once laughed, loved, 

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,420
had aspirations, hopes and 
ambitions remind us there were 

7
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:31,020
not just statistics or mere 
objects of curiosity. 

8
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:35,420
They were daughters, sons, 
mothers, fathers and friends. 

9
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,860
And their absences felt forever 
changing the lives of those who 

10
00:00:39,860 --> 00:00:42,860
remain. 
In the shadow of these cases, we

11
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:46,500
can no longer ignore the 
prevalent struggle faced by many

12
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,900
in British Columbia. 
Depression, loneliness, the 

13
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:55,020
haunting specter of suicidal 
ideation. 

14
00:00:55,620 --> 00:01:00,920
Yet immense all of the answers 
we uncover, they will remain 

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,200
lingering questions and 
mysteries that continue to 

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,400
intrigue and gnaw at our hearts.
This series will investigate the

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,480
unsolved cases of missing 
individuals who vanished. 

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Sometimes remains are found, but
the circumstances are unclear 

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,200
and go unsolved. 
Beyond the breathtaking beauty 

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,330
of British Columbia vast 
wilderness lies a chilling 

21
00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:31,610
enigma that haunts the region, 
the alarming rate at which 

22
00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:36,490
people go missing as we cross 
the thin border between the 

23
00:01:36,650 --> 00:01:41,170
known and the unknown. 
Together we will unravel the 

24
00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:46,090
stories of the many missing 
people that have haunted this 

25
00:01:46,090 --> 00:01:48,970
picturesque province for 
generations. 

26
00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:52,730
Secrets have long remain hidden 
beneath the beauty of this land,

27
00:01:53,290 --> 00:01:57,920
but now we dare to shine a light
upon them, the chilling accounts

28
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,080
of those who vanished without a 
trace. 

29
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,240
This picturesque, beautiful 
province has an unsettling 

30
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,759
underbelly of unexplained 
disappearances that left 

31
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,920
families shattered, communities 
anxious and authorities 

32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,640
perplexed. 
Wild animals and natural hazards

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840
could be responsible for a 
person's disappearance. 

34
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,040
Foul play or human abduction 
cannot be ruled out either. 

35
00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:29,230
Sometimes people disappear due 
to criminal activities, but 

36
00:02:29,230 --> 00:02:32,150
without more information it's 
hard to ascertain this 

37
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:34,710
possibility. 
The prevalence of unsolved 

38
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:38,950
homicides in British Columbia is
a complex issue with multiple 

39
00:02:39,070 --> 00:02:43,670
contributing factors challenging
terrains Remote locations 

40
00:02:44,830 --> 00:02:49,470
British Columbia's vast, rugged 
terrain includes dense forest 

41
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:53,950
isolated areas that make crime 
scenes difficult to access and 

42
00:02:53,950 --> 00:02:56,430
investigate. 
This could lead to destruction 

43
00:02:56,430 --> 00:03:00,710
of evidence or the inability to 
track down witnesses and leads. 

44
00:03:00,870 --> 00:03:05,470
In addition, if a crime is 
committed in a remote or rural 

45
00:03:05,470 --> 00:03:09,470
area, it takes longer for law 
enforcement to arrive on scene 

46
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:13,750
and begin their investigation. 
This makes it more challenging 

47
00:03:14,050 --> 00:03:16,810
for law enforcement to gather 
evidence, find witness, 

48
00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:20,810
particularly in cases that occur
in remote and hard to reach 

49
00:03:20,810 --> 00:03:25,210
locations. 
British Columbia landscapes, 

50
00:03:25,690 --> 00:03:27,890
while alluring, can be 
treacherous. 

51
00:03:28,210 --> 00:03:32,010
The province boasts a vast and 
rugged terrain with dense 

52
00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:38,770
forests, isolated mountains, 
hidden caves that make search 

53
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:41,210
and rescue operations 
challenging. 

54
00:03:41,810 --> 00:03:46,930
When people go missing in these 
remote areas, the chances of 

55
00:03:46,930 --> 00:03:51,170
discovery become significantly 
lower, leaving families with 

56
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:54,890
unanswered questions and 
investigators with limited 

57
00:03:54,970 --> 00:03:58,490
leads. 
The province wilderness is home 

58
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:03,410
to a diverse range of wildlife, 
some which can be dangerous. 

59
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:07,530
Predators, bears, Cougars, and 
other wildlife pose a threat to 

60
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:11,570
hikers, campers, and adventurers
who venture into their 

61
00:04:11,570 --> 00:04:14,350
territory. 
While most encounters end 

62
00:04:14,350 --> 00:04:17,230
without harm, some unfortunate 
incidents lead to 

63
00:04:17,230 --> 00:04:21,350
disappearances, leaving 
investigators to grapple with 

64
00:04:21,350 --> 00:04:26,150
distinguishing human foul play 
from natural causes. 

65
00:04:26,630 --> 00:04:29,750
While the wilderness plays a 
significant role in missing 

66
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:34,350
person cases, urban areas also 
contribute to a high numbers. 

67
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:38,150
British Columbia's larger 
cities, like Vancouver, are not 

68
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:41,820
immune to this phenomenon. 
Factors such as crime, 

69
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:46,380
homelessness, drug use 
contribute to individuals going 

70
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:50,060
missing without a trace. 
The province, proximity to 

71
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:55,540
international borders and major 
transportation hub have raised 

72
00:04:55,540 --> 00:04:57,780
concerns about human 
trafficking. 

73
00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:01,220
British Columbia serves a 
gateway to Asia and the United 

74
00:05:01,220 --> 00:05:06,060
States, making it susceptible to
criminal networks involved in 

75
00:05:06,060 --> 00:05:10,440
human exploitation. 
Victims can be easily moved 

76
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,520
across the border and go 
missing, complicating 

77
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,760
investigations making it 
challenging to trace their 

78
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,800
whereabouts. 
On the darker side, urban 

79
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,520
legends and rumors of sex 
workers being used in snuff 

80
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:30,200
films and violent homemade porn 
videos by violent St. gangs who 

81
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,720
also were into human trafficking
women. 

82
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,240
They were being murdered and 
hauled away by long distant 

83
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,440
truck drivers. 
August 1999 Parents's were tied 

84
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,040
to a sex slave involving ships 
in the harbor. 

85
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Reported that women were being 
enticed on board of 

86
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,440
international freighters with 
the promise of liquor and drugs.

87
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,600
Once on board, the women were in
prison, sexually used, then 

88
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,800
tossed overboard once the ships 
were out and open, International

89
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,020
Oceans Police spokeswoman and 
Drennan said. 

90
00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:14,940
Occasionally we've had reports 
of prostitutes taken on boards 

91
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:18,100
of ships and passed around and 
abused. 

92
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:21,500
We've spoken to many of these 
women as we can. 

93
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:25,020
We spoken to cab drivers that 
had may have taken the women to 

94
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:28,340
the boats. 
Sex workers have told stories of

95
00:06:28,340 --> 00:06:31,820
being held prisoners on 
freighters. 

96
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,640
One girl was on a freighter. 
The crew loaded her up with some

97
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,440
pretty strong heroin and 
wouldn't let her go. 

98
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,200
A friend who was watching out 
for her went and got in the 

99
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,760
crews faces to let her go. 
While it's essential to note 

100
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,000
that majority of homicides in 
the province are successfully 

101
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,240
solved, many cases remain open 
and unsolved for various 

102
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,040
reasons. 
Again, challenging terrain, 

103
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,650
Remote locations. 
British Columbia's vast, rugged 

104
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:08,050
terrain, dense forests, isolated
areas can make crime scenes 

105
00:07:08,050 --> 00:07:10,410
difficult to access and 
investigate. 

106
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:15,250
It makes it more challenging for
law enforcement to gather 

107
00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:20,090
evidence, find witnesses, 
particular in cases that occur 

108
00:07:20,090 --> 00:07:24,690
in remote, hard to reach 
locations, urbanizations and 

109
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:29,670
transient populations. 
Major cities in British 

110
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:33,470
Columbia, such as Vancouver, 
have a diverse and transient 

111
00:07:33,790 --> 00:07:36,670
population. 
Transient individuals have 

112
00:07:36,750 --> 00:07:40,470
limited ties to the community, 
making it harder to establish 

113
00:07:40,470 --> 00:07:43,590
connections and gather 
information about potential 

114
00:07:43,590 --> 00:07:48,830
suspects or witnesses. 
Drugs Gang related crimes. 

115
00:07:49,390 --> 00:07:53,430
British Columbia has face 
ongoing challenges with drug 

116
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:57,550
related crimes and gang activity
which can complicate 

117
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,560
investigations. 
Such crimes often involve 

118
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,880
sophisticated networks, 
intimidation of witnesses, a 

119
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,800
code of silent, making it harder
for law enforcement to gather 

120
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,320
information and build cases. 
Witness intimidation and fear. 

121
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,640
In certain cases, witness may 
fear retaliation or lack trust 

122
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,940
in law enforcement, leading to 
reluctance in coming forward 

123
00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:29,180
with information. 
Witness intimidation and fear of

124
00:08:29,180 --> 00:08:34,260
reprisal can hinder the progress
of investigations and prevent 

125
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:40,940
crucial information from 
surfacing a lack of critical 

126
00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:44,380
information. 
In some cases, key pieces of 

127
00:08:44,380 --> 00:08:47,860
evidence or critical information
may be missing, hampering the 

128
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:52,020
progress of investigation. 
Without these critical details, 

129
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:57,120
law enforcement may struggle to 
identify suspects or establish a

130
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,880
clear motive. 
Addressing the issues of 

131
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,000
unsolved homicides in British 
Columbia require a multifaceted 

132
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,040
approach involving enhanced 
resources for law enforcement, 

133
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,120
community engagement and 
cooperation. 

134
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,960
Specialized training, leveraging
advancements in technology and 

135
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,560
forensic sciences. 
Additionally, fostering trust 

136
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:21,930
between law enforcement and the 
public, particularly among the 

137
00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:25,450
marginalized communities, can 
lead to more fruitful 

138
00:09:25,450 --> 00:09:29,850
investigations and potentially 
lead to resolutions in some cold

139
00:09:29,850 --> 00:09:34,410
cases. 
Crime is always been a part of 

140
00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:38,610
the subculture in the 
underground economy of British 

141
00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:43,490
Columbia, which, when one 
entangles with this underbelly 

142
00:09:43,490 --> 00:09:48,970
of crime, leads to significant 
increases of disappearances, 

143
00:09:48,970 --> 00:09:56,260
murders and people vanishing. 
From the 1860s to the 1920s, the

144
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:59,820
opium trade was during the late 
British Columbia. 

145
00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:03,260
Coastal cities, particularly 
Vancouver, became hubs for the 

146
00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:05,860
opium trade. 
Chinese immigrants played a 

147
00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:09,940
significant role in the solicit 
trade, establishing secret opium

148
00:10:09,940 --> 00:10:14,060
dens and smuggling operations. 
The trade flourished until the 

149
00:10:14,060 --> 00:10:18,020
government implemented strict 
drug controlled, leading to the 

150
00:10:18,020 --> 00:10:24,210
decline of opium prominence in 
organized crime circles 1920 to 

151
00:10:24,210 --> 00:10:28,130
the 1940s. 
Prohibition and bootlegging, the

152
00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:31,930
advent of Prohibition. 
United States and organized 

153
00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:36,690
crime groups capitalize on the 
demand for illegal alcohol. 

154
00:10:37,050 --> 00:10:40,490
British Columbia became a key 
location for bootlegging 

155
00:10:40,490 --> 00:10:45,770
operations with smuggling 
smugglers transporting alcohol 

156
00:10:45,810 --> 00:10:49,220
across the border. 
Criminal organizations gained 

157
00:10:49,220 --> 00:10:53,140
substantial profits during this 
period, leading to the growth 

158
00:10:53,140 --> 00:10:59,820
influential crime families 1940s
to the 1960s. 

159
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:04,900
The Syndicate during this era, 
the Pacific National Exhibition,

160
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:10,420
The P&E in Vancouver served as a
hot spot for illegal gambling 

161
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:13,180
activities. 
Organized crime syndicates, 

162
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:16,380
controlled betting operations, 
bookmaking, horse racing 

163
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:20,540
schemes, the city's criminal 
underbelly continue to thrive 

164
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:23,340
leading to numerous raids and

Law enforcement. 1960s to the 
1980s Vancouver triads and 

166
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:34,020
organized the emergence of Asian
Criminal Organization, 

167
00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:37,700
particularly the triads became 
more pronounced during this 

168
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:41,500
period. 
These groups engaged in various 

169
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,720
illegal activities, including 
drug trafficking, money 

170
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,960
laundering, extortion, loan 
sharking. 

171
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,200
The port City of Vancouver 
became a key point for drug 

172
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,000
smuggling and money laundering 
operations, drawing the 

173
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,160
attentions of both local and 
international law enforcement 

174
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,000
agencies. 
The 1980s to the 1990s a rise of

175
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,640
motorcycle gangs. 
The 1980s witness a rise of 

176
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,690
outlaw motorcycle gangs. 
These gangs expanded their 

177
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:18,290
influence in the drug trade, 
prostitutions, and other illicit

178
00:12:18,290 --> 00:12:21,450
activities. 
Violent clashes between rival 

179
00:12:21,450 --> 00:12:24,650
gangs and law enforcement became
more frequent, leading to an 

180
00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:28,210
increase in criminal activity 
and notoriety for these biker 

181
00:12:28,210 --> 00:12:32,650
groups. 
The 1990s and early 2000 the 

182
00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:36,650
Indo Canadian Gang Wars. 
During this period, a deadly 

183
00:12:36,650 --> 00:12:41,210
gang war erupted among the Indo 
Canadian criminal groups in 

184
00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:44,520
British Columbia. 
The conflict, fueled by drug 

185
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:50,040
trafficking and territorial 
disputes, resulted in a spat of 

186
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,680
targeted assassinations and 
shootings, leaving dozen dead. 

187
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,600
Law enforcement struggled to 
contain the violence and 

188
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,440
dismantle these criminal 
networks. 2000 and present day

Evolving organized crime 
landscapes Organized crime in 

190
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:13,940
British Columbia continues to 
evolve adapting to changes in 

191
00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:16,580
law enforcement strategies and 
technology. 

192
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:20,860
The province remains a strategic
location for international drug

trafficking, money laundering, 
human trafficking, operation

into legitimate businesses and 
institutions, particularly in 

195
00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:34,900
real estate casino industries 
have been a growing concern. 

196
00:13:36,580 --> 00:13:40,090
Present day the fight against 
organized crime. 

197
00:13:40,090 --> 00:13:43,970
Law enforcement agencies along 
with government and community 

198
00:13:43,970 --> 00:13:47,090
organizations continue to combat
organized crime. 

199
00:13:47,090 --> 00:13:49,930
In British Columbia, specialized
units targeting money 

200
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:54,610
laundering, drug trafficking and
gang violence have been 

201
00:13:54,770 --> 00:13:59,330
established. 
Legislative measures have been 

202
00:13:59,330 --> 00:14:03,220
enhanced to strengthen laws 
against organized crime, with a 

203
00:14:03,220 --> 00:14:07,580
particular focus on dismantling 
criminal organizations and 

204
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:17,180
seizing illicit assets. 
British Columbia has been home 

205
00:14:17,180 --> 00:14:21,380
to many predators and serial 
killers, and one thing that 

206
00:14:21,380 --> 00:14:26,900
serial killers and predators 
seem to have in common is they 

207
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:31,740
seem to lack of empathy. 
Serial killers typically display

208
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:36,100
a lack of empathy or remorse for
their victims, treating them as 

209
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:38,900
objects rather than fellow human
beings. 

210
00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:42,860
They tend to be fantasy driven. 
Many serial killers have 

211
00:14:42,860 --> 00:14:46,780
elaborate fantasies that they 
act out during their crimes. 

212
00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:52,460
These fantasies often provide 
them with the sense of power and

213
00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:55,660
control. 
They tend to have a cooling off 

214
00:14:55,660 --> 00:14:58,940
period. 
Serial killers usually have a 

215
00:14:58,940 --> 00:15:02,700
cooling off period between 
murders during which they appear

216
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:06,100
normal and blend in society 
signature. 

217
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:10,420
Serial killer may develop a 
specific pattern or ritual 

218
00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:15,060
associated with their killings, 
known as their signature, which 

219
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:17,220
sets them apart from other 
murderers. 

220
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:19,860
They tend to have childhood 
trauma. 

221
00:15:20,460 --> 00:15:24,500
Some serial killers have a 
history of childhood abuse, 

222
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:29,040
neglect and other traumatic 
experiences that may contribute 

223
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,280
to their violent tendencies. 
Highly intelligent Not all 

224
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,360
serial killers are highly 
intelligent, but some exhibit 

225
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,280
above average intelligence which
makes them more adapt and 

226
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,520
avoiding capture when one thing 
they all share predators alike 

227
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,930
is the manipulative. 
Serial killers are often skilled

228
00:15:51,930 --> 00:15:55,290
at manipulating others which 
helps them gain trust over their

229
00:15:55,290 --> 00:16:00,050
victims and invade law 
enforcement timeline of serial 

230
00:16:00,050 --> 00:16:05,850
killers in British Columbia. 
I do plan to go into more detail

231
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:10,090
into these cases as time goes 
on, but this is just a quick 

232
00:16:10,330 --> 00:16:14,450
overview of the most notorious 
serial killers who've used 

233
00:16:14,690 --> 00:16:18,930
British Columbia as their 
hunting ground for victims, 

234
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Clifford Olsen, 1980 to 1981. 
Clifford Olsen was a notorious 

235
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,480
serial killer who preyed on 
children and teenagers in 

236
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,800
British Columbia during the 
early 1980s. 

237
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,960
With a span of only nine months,
he brutally murdered 11 young 

238
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,480
individuals, leaving the 
province in a state of shock and

239
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,560
fear. 
Olsen's capture and subsequent 

240
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,020
trial garnered a significant 
media attention and sparked 

241
00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:53,660
debates about the criminal 
justice system in British 

242
00:16:53,660 --> 00:16:59,980
Columbia. 
Robert Willie Picton, 1983 to 

243
00:16:59,980 --> 00:17:08,339
2002 Robert Picton, a pig farmer
from Port Coquitlam, was one of 

244
00:17:08,339 --> 00:17:11,180
Canada's most notorious serial 
killers. 

245
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:14,859
Over the course of nearly two 
decades, he targeted vulnerable 

246
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:20,280
women, mainly sex workers, from 
Vancouver's downtown east side. 

247
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:27,280
Picton was eventually arrested 
in 2002, later convicted for six

248
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,640
murders. 
Although he claimed to kill far 

249
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,920
more, he admitted to killing 49 
women. 

250
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,840
This raised questions about the 
handling of missing person cases

251
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,880
and the protection of 
marginalized community. 

252
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,510
Gilbert Paul Jordan, 1980s 
Gilbert Paul Jordan, also known 

253
00:17:48,510 --> 00:17:52,230
as a boozing Barber, was a 
serial killer who targeted 

254
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:56,430
Indigenous women in Vancouver 
during the 1980s. 

255
00:17:57,070 --> 00:18:00,390
He was convicted of manslaughter
of eight women. 

256
00:18:00,390 --> 00:18:04,190
Although he is suspected of 
being responsible for many more 

257
00:18:04,190 --> 00:18:08,230
deaths, Jordan targeted 
vulnerable women by pieing them 

258
00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:13,650
with alcohol and forcing them to
drink until they suscumbed the 

259
00:18:13,650 --> 00:18:19,970
alcohol poisoning John Martin 
Crawford 1981 to 1982. 

260
00:18:20,330 --> 00:18:25,210
John Martin Crawford, known as 
the Silent Killer, committed a 

261
00:18:25,210 --> 00:18:29,130
series of murders and sexual 
assaults in British Columbia 

262
00:18:29,130 --> 00:18:32,490
during the 1980s. 
He was responsible for the 

263
00:18:32,490 --> 00:18:37,730
deaths of four indigenous women.
His crimes remained unsolved 

264
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:44,490
until 1996, when DNA evidence 
linked him to the murders. 

265
00:18:46,290 --> 00:18:53,050
Wayne Clifford Bowden 1969 to 
1971. 

266
00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:57,930
Wayne Clifford Bowden, also 
known as a vampire rapist, was a

267
00:18:57,930 --> 00:19:01,650
serial killer who terrorized 
Vancouver during the late 60s. 

268
00:19:01,650 --> 00:19:05,650
In the early 1970s, he was 
responsible for the brutal 

269
00:19:05,650 --> 00:19:10,560
murders for at least four young 
women whom were all sexually 

270
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:16,720
assaulted and strangled. 
Bodas Modus operandi earned him 

271
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,480
the moniker Vampire Rapist due 
to the bite marks found on his 

272
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,800
victims. 
Cody Allen Ledgebukov, Bc's 

273
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,400
youngest serial killer and one 
of the youngest serial killers 

274
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,200
in Canada, was a young serial 
killer who preyed on four women 

275
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,490
in northern British Columbia. 
His victims were Loreen Don 

276
00:19:38,490 --> 00:19:44,890
Leslie, Natasha Lynn Montgomery,
Cynthia Francis Mas, Jill Stacy 

277
00:19:45,690 --> 00:19:49,850
Stukunenko. 
Levabukov's capture and 

278
00:19:49,850 --> 00:19:53,650
subsequent conviction brought 
attention to the vulnerability 

279
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:57,090
of young women and the 
importance of early detection 

280
00:19:57,090 --> 00:20:01,450
and intervention of cases of 
potential serial offenders. 

281
00:20:02,210 --> 00:20:05,290
These are some of the most 
notorious serial killers who 

282
00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:09,210
operated in British Columbia, 
leaving a dark legacy of fear 

283
00:20:09,210 --> 00:20:12,090
and tragedy. 
The capture and conviction of 

284
00:20:12,090 --> 00:20:15,490
these individuals under score 
the importance of vigilant law 

285
00:20:15,490 --> 00:20:19,210
enforcement, community awareness
and the support for families and

286
00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:22,050
communities affected by these 
heinous crimes. 

287
00:20:22,770 --> 00:20:27,630
According to the Royal Canadian 
Mounted Police, the RCMP, the 

288
00:20:27,630 --> 00:20:30,750
province accounts for 
significant portions of Canada's

289
00:20:30,750 --> 00:20:33,070
missing persons. 
Despite having a lower 

290
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:37,390
population compared to provinces
like Ontario and Quebec, their 

291
00:20:37,390 --> 00:20:40,590
numbers reveal a chilling 
reality. 

292
00:20:41,150 --> 00:20:45,910
The province of Ontario, who has
a population of close to 

293
00:20:45,910 --> 00:20:50,230
approximately 15,000,000 people.
Well, British Columbia's 

294
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:52,750
population is approximable 4 
million. 

295
00:20:52,990 --> 00:20:57,610
Yet British Columbia has twice 
the physical numbers as Canada's

296
00:20:57,610 --> 00:21:05,890
largest province of Ontario. 
So before I go, I would like to 

297
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:10,930
thank my collaborative 
relationship that I have with my

298
00:21:10,930 --> 00:21:13,530
audience. 
My audience sends me many cases,

299
00:21:13,530 --> 00:21:17,930
and it's you, the audience, 
who's placed trust in me, to 

300
00:21:17,970 --> 00:21:22,650
tell your sons and daughters 
stories, who are missing or who 

301
00:21:22,650 --> 00:21:25,090
have died in tragic 
circumstances. 

302
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:29,500
I like to thank each and every 
one of you for placing this very

303
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,500
sacred trust in me. 
And I don't take it lightly at 

304
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,500
all. 
I take it very serious and I 

305
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:40,820
hope to spread awareness 
internationally, to create 

306
00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:44,580
attention and awareness for all 
the lost souls who vanish in 

307
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:49,820
British Columbia and for them, 
for them not to be forgotten. 

308
00:21:50,580 --> 00:21:54,780
And to the many people in law 
enforcement who I've spoken to 

309
00:21:54,860 --> 00:21:59,620
on and off the record, who are 
good people, who are dedicated 

310
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:03,500
and who do care about victims, I
want to thank you. 

311
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:07,500
And I want to thank you for your
dedication and for serving the 

312
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:11,380
community. 
There are good people in law 

313
00:22:11,380 --> 00:22:17,540
enforcement who do care and but 
however the system needs to 

314
00:22:17,540 --> 00:22:21,200
support victims more. 
To the people in the medical 

315
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,160
community, I want to thank you 
for helping these people who 

316
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,120
survive these horrific 
circumstances to heal and get 

317
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:32,160
better. 
The nurses and doctors, my heart

318
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,960
goes out to you, your dedication
to healing and making our 

319
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,760
community a better place. 
And to those in law enforcement 

320
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,400
and Crown Council whom I have 
talked to and who do care and do

321
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,780
try to put these dangerous 
predators away so they don't 

322
00:22:50,780 --> 00:22:54,980
target our community anymore. 
And for those of you who do 

323
00:22:54,980 --> 00:22:59,060
care, I do appreciate you very 
much and I appreciate all the 

324
00:22:59,060 --> 00:23:03,180
candid conversations I've had 
with all of you off the record 

325
00:23:04,180 --> 00:23:11,540
series is going to get more 
detailed And each profile three 

326
00:23:11,540 --> 00:23:16,020
to four different cases of 
missing people who I believe 

327
00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:20,620
deserve more attention. 
And and hopefully through this 

328
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:24,580
series we can provide more 
attention and and in every one 

329
00:23:24,580 --> 00:23:27,900
of these cases somebody knows 
something, someone knows 

330
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:30,740
something. 
And all it takes is someone to 

331
00:23:30,740 --> 00:23:33,980
say something to the right 
person, to law enforcement or to

332
00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:39,700
whomever and get some closures 
for these family members who 

333
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:42,320
have lost. 
Be the greatest thing you can 

334
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,920
do. 
If you know something, please 

335
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,520
say something. 
Don't let families suffer 

336
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,560
anymore. 
Thank you so much for listening.
