Hi. I am Mark, I am the host of
Vancouver. True Crime.
I want to offer a trigger warning, for the listening
audience. Because again, yes, it's a true
crime podcast and I talked about very dark, very disturbing
subject matter. I'm a researcher of criminal
activity and predators and serial killers.
I focus mainly on serial killers and predators that operate in
the province of British Columbia, Canada.
Eda and specifically the city of Vancouver and the Metro
Vancouver surrounding area, this series is called The Stolen
Sisters of East Vancouver, and this series is going to focus
from 1960 to 2022. Present-day of predators.
Serial killers and abusers, who go into this neighborhood and
use it. As a hunting ground for sexual
deviancy murder and other abuses.
Unfortunately indigenous women are prime, are the primary
targets of predators and serial killers in this neighborhood.
However, women of every color creed nationality, skin tone
have been victims of predators, as well.
And also to, we know, we live in a time where we got to
acknowledge everyone and And you know, there's been people of
different genders and also sexual Persuasions as well that
have been targeted by Predators primarily though, I am going to
focus on missing murdered indigenous women and girls who
are the primary targets for these types of criminals and
predators and, and, and for reasons that are cultural.
And These women have been come very marginalized and they
become attractive to creeps to Target and and that is the
unfortunate history of this neighborhood.
The downtown Eastside. So when you add up the amount of
victims of Willie Pickton, Martin Tremblay, who was a
predator, who targeted primary again indigenous girls who are
under Eh, he like girls that are teens broken homes, typically
indigenous, who he would learn with drugs alcohol, and they
would be targets of his predatorial behavior, where he
would get them passed out, videotape, his sexual assaults,
and sometimes these women would die under the influence of all
the drugs that he provided Earth by overdose.
We go into Willie Pickton and In future episodes, I've done a ton
of research again, the missing women inquiry again, both 65
women who lived in the neighborhood of the downtown
Eastside, were targeted by Willie Picton.
Majority of them were indigenous but the women came from all
walks of life, backgrounds and nationalities and skin tones.
In my opinion they all are our Stolen Sisters.
They are sisters, our mothers. as there are relatives, there
are women in our community who didn't deserve to be targeted
and murdered and being abused by creeps who got away with it for
a very long time, this series is going to be about How the court
system policing the community at Large?
Created a perfect environment for these predators to operate,
pretty much with impunity. They were able to operate out in
the open, they Blended in, they felt very comfortable in this
environment, to Target, women to murder, to abuse to sexually,
assault them, and it went on and it's going on for a very long
time. I document it from boat, going
from the 1960s to present day. Of women and girls, the people
who are impacted by these crimes, for example, recently, I
posted a couple days ago, I posted on my Instagram page
Vancouver. True Crime on Instagram, about
my upcoming series about the boozing Barber.
The boozing Barbers named Gilbert Jordan.
He was a very Meek, unassuming short chubby, man.
Man with thick glasses, who targeted women with alcohol
offering the money to go drink with them back in his room, or
his Barbershop only to force more alcohol on them and to the
point where he's literally pouring it down their throat and
then only to murder and sexual assault them as they blacked out
from all the alcohol. That he provided them II posted
this on my Facebook as well. My Vancouver, True Crime,
Facebook, A woman replied saying this monster took our mother 35
years ago. So, these victims are real
people, you know, they are they, these victims, they have family,
they have daughters. They had people that cared and
loved them very much and miss them dearly and it is a true
tragedy in our country with all our modern day laws and Court
Systems and Technology. And all those things that we
think are there to protect us and it certainly didn't protect
them. So my goal with this series is
to one highlight the monsters that were able to operate in the
open and had the Comfort to Target women and girls with with
really Really stopping them because he look at the numbers
that they were able to accumulate.
So again, I'm going to focus in the next few podcast really on
for Predators. So in this episode, I'll be
talking about Gilbert Jordan. The boozing Barber, I talked a
little bit about Martin Tremblay, who was a sexual
deviant drug dealer, Ori drug dealer, who would use drugs to
lure, underage girls? To do very deviant acts on them.
Film them while they were passed out.
So, the two, these two people Gilbert, Jordan Barton.
Tremblay their victim pools are in the hundreds of Gilbert
Jordan. According to court, testimony
from 1980 to 1988, he targeted about 200 women in these
downtown Eastside. Ours to go back with them, pay
for sex, to abuse them, to sexually assault them.
He was a very prolific Predator. So, you look at the numbers, we
talked about 200 over 8 years, I have 1600 women, according to
these numbers that he targeted to abuse one man. 1600 women 10.
Women believed to be dead at his hands.
Then Martin Tremblay. They probably were talking
victims in the hundreds. And then, of course, we're
talking about Willie Pickton. He claimed he murdered 49
different women and he wanted a murder one more to make it an
even 50. Plus all the other women that he
probably disabused and sexually assaulted were probably talking
in the hundreds and then there's another creep.
A man named Don Baker, who targeted women sex workers on
the downtown east side, Do very brutal vicious assaults where he
would videotape them for his sick pleasure.
They identified about 50 women that he targeted.
There's a lot probably lot more that they don't know about and
he also went overseas to countries like Cambodia where he
targeted nine year, old children as a as young as nine year old
to for sexual abuse and violence.
So for predators Is who operated from 1960 to present day.
And look at the size of the victim pool from four people.
The criminal justice system was unable to prevent them for
targeting all these women and and the court system, the way it
is. And the way that people who can
afford, good lawyers are able to manipulate the system to keep on
abusing. So, we're going to explore all
of this, in the next few. Series and and it's a true
tragedy when you think about it for predatory men who targeted
one neighborhood, thousands of victims and combination and not
only this, the victims of victims, the family, the loved
ones who had to endure this tragedy.
And the cost of society, the cost on quartz it cost for
police to cost for, you know, even the cost at the Pickton
Farm hundreds of millions of dollars to go through that
disgusting, 16-acre. Filthy pig farm of manure, dirt
and and rubbish, looking for tiny little fragments of Bones,
to identify the DNA of these victims are real tragedy and
thank you for joining me. Me and as we break down this
very dark and disturbing subject matter together.
Thank you so much. Thank you for listening.
Welcome to the Vancouver. True Crime podcast.
I am Mark. I am host of the show.
Thank you so much for tuning in and listening.
I appreciate it very much. In this episode is part 2, The
Stolen Sisters of East Vancouver.
When I originally wrote this series, I was on a call.
It the monsters of the downtown Eastside and the whole premise
of this series is to show how since the early 1960s all the
way to present day that this has Canada's primary hunting ground
for serial killers, sexual deviants, predators and abusers
of mostly women mostly indigenous.
However, the victim pool represents women of all Races.
All skin tones nationalities. And they're all our Stolen
Sisters in this episode. However, we're going to be
talking about a real monstrous little creep.
Called Gilbert, Jordan bald-headed.
Fit, glasses-wearing Miken appearance.
Chubby middle-aged, But he was extremely lethal.
He murdered over 10 indigenous women over a period of time.
He was only charged for one and he did very little jail time for
all his, monstrous deeds in the downtown Eastside, I'll be
breaking down his actions, the consequences And the history of
this creep, that stole many sisters in the downtown
Eastside. So I took a bit of a break to
recharge the batteries and the New Year.
I hope everybody's having a great New Year's and I hope all
your wishes dreams and desires. We'll come to tradition.
I have a lot planned and a lot in store over the next few
episodes. And one of the things I want to
talk about quickly though, before I get into this episode
is a research that I've been doing about serial killers.
I've been doing a real deep dive into serial killers.
Now, primarily I started writing this series in early September,
and I've been doing a very deep dive this in the topic of Real
killers themselves and their the cook.
Some interesting things have come to light.
So, when I first came across this case about Gilbert Jordan,
the boozing Barber, the man who killed by using alcohol as his
primary murder weapon. I first, I thought he was kind
of unique. Me can his appearance again?
Short, chubby, middle-aged bald, man hanging around dive bars,
harassing And offering women who are down on their luck,
alcoholics, money to go party and drink with them and and
paying for sex. So, I first, I thought this was
kind of a unique type of killer, but quite frankly, he's quite
typical most murderers that are serial killers want to operate
in their comfort zone, and neighborhoods are comfortable
in, and they primary use a murder weapon that they're
comfortable with. So, when we discuss serial
killers, in the topic of serial killers, what is a serial
killer? So, just like, probably me at
first week. We tend to think of a serial
killer that hunts primary women for sexual gratification, they
tend to strangle some cases they dismembered, and there's usually
a sexual component to their killing.
However, anybody, man, or woman who kills, more than two or
three people is classified as a serial killer.
So, there are situations. Let's say this were at say, a
man who gets into a bar fight. Wait, who's very violent?
And that say this, he gets into a fight with some dude in the
parking lot and he pulls out a tire iron and bashes that guy's
head and blunt force. Trauma, let's say he throws a
dude in the trunk drives out in the woods and berries that guy
that guy goes missing. He's never found.
And that murder goes on solve that guy drives into another
town goes to a bar, has anger issues gets into a fight pulls
out a tire iron bashes, the guy's head and, and And goes and
buries a guy somewhere in a rural area.
So this person would be a serial killer but we wouldn't classify
them in the. We wouldn't think of them in the
classic sense of a serial killer.
However, he would still be a serial killer so then there's
what's called organizational Killers.
People who work for organized crime or gangs or even Des as
individuals as Hit Men or sicarios.
If they're from South America Mexico or Central America,
sicario is a Spanish term for a hit man, these people kill for
money. I've been doing a lot of
research and I've been working on some new material for the
series. I also do called True Crime.
Gangster stories you've heard some of the interviews with my
friend David who was a hitman for the Colombian cartels.
Mexican Towels and the mafia according to other hit men that
I've talked to typically the going rate to be hired to kill
someone is about twenty thousand dollars, typically more.
If the person's famous or a politician or if the person is
considered someone that is, you know, Nora righty, someone
that's in the media or something like that, there probably be a
higher price for them. However, twenty thousand dollars
could hire Uryu. A Hitman to kill someone on your
behalf. Typically, from my talks, with
various hit men that I've talked to typically, what they tend to
do is they usually follow the person around when they're
driving. When the person park somewhere
quiet, secluded and dark, that pit man will appear at their
driver side window Glock at the window in their face before the
person even has a chance to react Pop, pop pop goes a Glock
that person has virtually no defense to it, it's very
effective. Just pull up right at someone's
window gun. Bang person's dead off.
They go, sometimes they'll burn the car, throw incinerator and
device both times. They just leave the person dead
and off. They go one hit, man, that I
talked to, he said, he would shoot them in the whites of the
eyes. Because he knew that they were
dead. You put a bullet in someone's
eye balls, most likely they're not going to survive, especially
a large caliber like a 40-caliber Glock right in the
head that person is guaranteed to be dead and that's that,
that's how fast it can happen and that's how it usually goes
down. I'll get more into that.
And I have some more interviews with other hit men that I will
be breaking down in the Future. So again, you know, most of the
time, the public won't really put the classification of a hit
man as a serial killer. But really, they are, if you
kill more than one or two, sorry if you kill more than two to
three people, you are a serial killer, then there's like, you
know, back in the day I was I found out something quite
interesting and they're in their early turn of the century.
There was quite a few women serial killers and And these
women serial killers. This is like in the early 1900's
who throughout the 1940s these women would go from community
and community and marry older men murder them for their
financial means and then move off to another Community.
Now with you know, internet and being able to tie people to you
know, patterns of murder, they're easier to get caught for
example, but woman marries a man, murders them and collect.
The insurance money and then goes and marries another person
murders. I'm collects.
The insurance money. That will be a clear pattern
majority of people get caught for murder because they murder
people that they know and there is a tie.
That's why. When someone hires a hit man
specially from another Province country, it makes it very
difficult to catch them. There's no ties and the person
who may be ordered, the murder has a solid alibi.
Annie. Look at the homicide map that I
posted on my Instagram page of Vancouver.
True Crime. I basically stop bothering
counting. I got up to 550, Cold Case,
homicides. And and I think that brought me
up to about 2018, there's probably another 20, 30 added to
that mostly gang-related. And most of these are people
who've been, you know, these are you Usually gangsters hiring,
maybe outside other gangsters Hitmen sicarios to take out
Rivals and things like that. So again, you know, we look at
the phenomena of serial killers and there's a lot of
misconception, one of the most misconception is most of these
killers. Do not look like what you think
they're going to look like, they don't look scary.
They blend in and they can come across quite Meek.
And in public just like, Gordon Gilbert short, chubby hanging
around, dive bars, probably kind of nerdy, probably kind of like,
you know, from my understanding is this is that he was a sexual
predator, he would go to all the disgusting, little dive bars,
all along Hastings Street, find women that were alcoholics,
offer them money to drink with him, offer the money to drink
more with them. He would either Take him to his
Barber Shop, which was called the slow can Barbershop on.
Kingsway Street, he would calves free-flowing, booze have another
drink have another drink. Again, these women are
alcoholics. They probably were eager to
accept and they probably felt safe and, and in his presence
because he didn't come across as threatening, he would keep
offering them booze and then he would offer the money to drink.
Straight liquor out of a bottle. And and then He would force the
booze down his throat, literally holding the bottle, making them
drink more and more as I got drunker and drunker passing out
blocking out. He would start basically almost
like waterboarding them with alcohol, until they were
incapacitated unconscious. Once they were unconscious, he
usually stripped them. Naked, had sexual intercourse
with them and until they died. Sometimes he Would call call in
the the deaths and report them to the police and chorus cute,
act, all innocent. Oh we were drinking too much and
blah blah, blah. I guess she had too much to
drink and, you know, you know oops, oops, he was all an
accident and a lot of these deaths were ruled, as accidental
deaths, or alcohol poisoning, until there was quite a
clear-cut pattern of it. I'll be getting into a story a
lot more, but I just want to paraphrase what his mode of
operation was. Now, what I'm also trying to
talk about that. Yes, he used alcohol but it's
not as unique as you think because Killers again they will
use what they're come from. Jordan was a heavy alcoholic.
He was comfortable booze and he was comfortable drinking, a lot
of heavy alcohol. It was sad that he drank up to
50 ounces of alcohol each and every day.
So obviously had a high tolerance and and he could
probably Behold a lot of liquor from a lifetime of drinking,
heavy alcohol. So he was comfortable around all
call, who's comfortable in the downtown Eastside.
He didn't stand out, he kind of Blended in, and, and he didn't
look threatening, very classic of very of many different serial
killers, Willie Pickton, which, I'll be doing more in this
series about, I've done a lot of writing, a lot of research about
Willie Pickton. He would offer, drugs, crack
cocaine, Again, he he used these drugs as lures, just like
Gilbert used alcohol as a lure. These women were heavy Drinkers
and alcohol was their primary substance of choice.
So therefore he offered booze Willie picked and offered crack
cocaine heroin and, and things like that to lure the women to
his disgusting pig farm to murder them.
So again, you see what I'm saying?
Here? Is that he He operated in plain
sight just like Willie Pickton and there are times even
overlap, right? When Willie Pickton was active,
also Gilbert. Jordan was a was very active.
So there's usually multiple Predators at any given time
operating in the downtown Eastside because it is a primary
hunting ground for sexual deviance and predators because
again, you spend any time there You realize right away the
desperation, the addiction, the mental health issues, the
poverty is Rife for creeps and predators to work openly to
Target women and primary again. As I said indigenous, women are
primary the targets of these creeps that go into the
downtown, Eastside to Target women.
So let's get into Gilbert Jordan.
A known, sexual predator. Serial killer the downtown east
Vancouver? He operated from 1960s to 2006.
So, Gilbert, Jordan aka the boozing Barber.
Jordan was born Gilbert Paul SC in Vancouver Canada.
December 12, 1931. He was a high school dropout
Alcoholic by age 18 by 1952 his criminal record included, theft,
assault auto theft and heroin possession.
This alcoholic Barber was linked to the deaths of 10 different
indigenous women. Gilbert was the first Canadian
known to use alcohol as his murder weapon.
His victims were First Nations women who lived in east
Vancouver and the downtown Eastside.
Jordan was a heavy drinker, drinking upwards of 50 ounces of
vodka every day and a regular in the dive bars along Hastings
Street in east Vancouver. Like I said, many times already
Gilbert Jordan was short and chubby bald head.
Thick black-rimmed glasses with his Meek appearance, he would
offer money to women to drink or have sex with him.
He plied her with lots of free flowing.
No alcohol in his barber shop or a hotel room.
That he rented. He would offer more money if she
could chug straight liquor out of the bottle, when she passed
out, he forced more alcohol down her throat and sexually
assaulted her. As she was passed out or even
dying. He basically was He disgusting,
like he would, literally almost like waterboard them with, with
bottles of vodka, like pouring alcohol down their throats.
So, he was quoting. The saying, the following
statement sober, people wouldn't go out with me.
So, I didn't have many options, he explained during this trial,
he didn't want a drink in his room all by himself, or they're
all on, they were all on their last legs.
He coolly told the Vancouver reporter in Thousand.
I didn't give a damn who I was drinking with I mean we're all
dying sooner or later. So Jordan had no empathy and had
zero regard like most Predators for his victims.
Jordan learned the barber trade during one of his many stints in
prison, he owned the slow can Barbershop on Kingsway Street.
It is now a dance ballerina shop.
According to a statement, he paid for sex with over 200 women
a year most of the deaths were declared accidental overdoses of
alcohol. Even though Jordan was with them
at the time of his death, he reported many of those deaths
himself. The victims were indigenous
women, who suffered from alcoholism.
So again, he would, when they'd wake up, the women would be dead
naked in bed with him. And a lot of times, he would
call the The police or he would call his lawyer first and the
lawyer would make a nominee as police report to the Vancouver
Police talking though, in 1961. So we're going to go into his
criminal history and 1961. He was arrested for kidnapping a
five-year-old child that indigenous girl, from a reserve
near Mission BC, which is approximately, I would say about
an hour, an hour and a half, Drive from downtown Vancouver,
Vancouver Police Officers noticed, a suspicious car,
parked on the side of the road, they pulled Jordan over, and
they peered inside to see a 29 year old Gilbert with a
five-year-old indigenous. Girl, he kidnapped her May of
1961 all charges were dropped a stay of proceedings.
So again, I explain to stare proceeding in the last podcast
but I'll explain it. One more time.
Charges are stayed when a judge or a crown decides that it would
be bad for the justice system. For the case to continue, this
means the issue of guilt or innocence is never determined
stays can be granted when the state has acted unfairly or
including failure to bring. Bring the case to trial in
timely manner. January 5th, 1963, theft, and
sexual assault. Jordan, lured, two women into
his car with an invitation to drink and party with them.
He picked up to First Nations women from a bar in the downtown
Eastside to drink with them, they drove to Cole Harbour by
Stanley Park. And when one stepped out of the
car to smoke a cigarette, Jordan drove off leaving her stranded
with her purse in the car, he drove the other To North
Vancouver, Jordan sexually assaulted that woman, the police
charged him with sexual assault and theft.
He was convicted on the theft charge but acquitted on the
sexual assault Christmas of that year.
Heavily inebriated. He threatens to jump off a
bridge at Lions Gate Bridge. Jordan's longtime criminal
defense, lawyer was called to talk him down off the bridge
cause a big traffic jam and a lot of commotion.
Ian Jordan was found in contempt of court in North Vancouver
Force looting a Nazi style. Hitler salute sieg heil he
yelled out at the judge in the courtroom judges weren't too
happy about that. The judge wasn't too happy about
that charged with contempt of court.
April 28, 1965 one of his first alcohol.
Poisoned victims. A telephone switchboard operator
named ivy rose, Oswald her Nude body was found in a hotel room
on the east side of Vancouver IV Rose.
Death was considered accidental, even though her blood levels
were through the roof at a 0.59 she was seen in the company of
Gilbert all night. Her murder was just the
beginning of a series of killing for which Jordan always eluded
punishment. A few days after the murder
Gilbert. Paul SE applied to change his
name to Gilbert Paul Jordan and it was approved.
So, he did this to avoid detection with future encounters
with the police. So when he would hand his ID or
be pulled over for his numerous drinking and driving charges,
they wouldn't tie them to previous murders.
So 1971, Vancouver BC committed, an indecent act in a public
place charges, which stayed Up in Mackenzie BC, which is in the
northern part of the province. He was convicted for indecent
exposure, 1974 Prince, George BC, convicted of indecent
assault, sentenced to two years less a day, which came to a
sentence of just two years. In prison, Crown Council, wanted
him declared as a dangerous sex offender upon his release in
1976. The crown try to have him
declared as a dangerous offender but Jordans lawyer intervene in
the request was denied and 1976, Jordan was examined by a
friend's ex I Kaya trust dr. Tibor beza, ready.
As part of a court proceeding dr.
Besser Eddie diagnosed Jordan of having an antisocial personality
disorder and defined as a person whose conduct is maladjusted.
In terms of social behavior, has very little disregard for the
rights of others. And which often can result in
unlawful activities, Jordan learned his Barber trade while
in prison and he opened the slow can Barbershop on Kingsway
Street, Jordan inherited a sum of money and even though he
looked like an alcoholic to shoveled Barber, he was actually
quite Savvy in the stock. Good.
And he made a lot of money through Savvy stock Investments
with the inheritance and the money he made through picking
the right stocks. He could afford the very best of
criminal lawyers and this kept him out of jail.
A lot of the time and also most importantly, prevented him from
being declared a dangerous offender, which he could have
been locked up indefinitely and it would have saved a lot of
people's lives as As we will continue, so 1975 the boozing
Barbers back on the street. This time, he had ducted a woman
from the mental institution. Riverview the police charge them
on several counts, including kidnapping, and sexual
intercourse with a feeble minded person.
That was a law back in the day. I don't know if it's still on
the books, but yes, he got convicted for having sexual
intercourse. With a feeble minded person.
He was sentenced to 26 months for assault Court proceeding.
Showed he saw it out, approximately 200, women per
year, for sex, for binge drinking episodes and this
period covered from 1980 to 1988.
Further the crown provided evidence that Jordan was linked
to the deaths of six. Other First Nations, women
similar facts of evidence showed that Jordan has been.
So Crown, Jordan was with the following women at the time of
their death. First Mary Johnson, November
30th 1980 At the Elmer Hotel, her blood level was Point 34.
So, typically 0.8 is the illegal limit if you're driving and
that's roughly, give or take how much you weigh and how much she
space out your alcoholic drinks on average.
I would make about four or five drinks.
So, if you had four or five drinks and went behind the wheel
of the car, you'd blow over and you'd be charged with impaired
driving. So, Mary Johnson had a blood
level of 30. For so 08 would get you arrested
for drinking driving. She died because her blood level
was 34 Barbara Paul September 11th, 1981 at the Glen nerd
Hotel. Her blood level was point for
one. Mary John's July 30th 1982 at
the toot at sorry at the 03 Kingsway barbershop.
That's his Barbershop is Barber Shop was located at 2503.
Kingsway. It's now a ballerina school and
she was found dead in his Barbershop with a blood level of
.76. Patricia Thompson, December
15th, 1984 at his King way. Barbershop once again, her blood
level was point. 51 Patricia Andrews June 28th 1985 again at
his King way. Kingsway Barbershop her blood
level was point. Seven, nine Vera Harry, November
19th. 1986 at the Clinton Clifton Hotel.
Blood alcohol level zero. Sorry .04, one again, at as this
at his Barbershop 3 women died between July 1982 and June of
85. Although Jordan reported the
deaths after Consulting his lawyer.
He escaped investigation. When the coroner ruled, all
three accidental deaths by alcohol poisoning The victims
were known alcoholics and sex workers, and at high risk, for
such fate. According to them, Jordan did
come under suspicion. In 1987, he spent the night of
October 11th drinking with a female companion at the Niagara
hotel room in Vancouver, several times, Jordan went out to buy
more booze and at 6 a.m. October 12th he left.
Hotel for the last time at 7:40 a.m. police received an
anonymous phone call in the room at the Niagara hotel.
They found the naked body of Vanessa Lee Buckner who is age.
27 Buckner sometimes worked as a sexual as a sex worker part-time
and she was known for being a moderate Drinker.
Her blood level was a staggering. .91.
So again, if 0.8 makes it illegal for you to drive and
you'll most have one percent alcohol in your blood.
As I said, he basically waterboarded these women with
alcohol during the trial, the court would hear Jordan poisoned
her sexually assaulted her, left her to die, as black fluid
oozed, out of her mouth and nose, the father of the victim
expressed his outrage. When the case went to trial.
He's a worm, he said in an interview with the Toronto Sun,
he's a lowlife, he should be squashed just as he squashed, a
lot of girls lives. Court, documents described
Vanessa's death. As a result of Jordan supplying,
a lethal amount of liquor Who died as a result.
Jordan's fingerprints were also found in a room and linked to
Buckner's death. 11 days later. Another woman Edna shade was
found dead and another hotel room for 11 days.
Police watch Jordan, during that time, during that time, Jordan
took for intended victims to hotel rooms in the Vancouver,
downtown Eastside, High each time, pull Police entrusted.
The drinking binges after being questioned, Jordan, had not been
charged with any crimes related to Buckner's death.
Police initiated surveillance on Jordan October 12 and November
26. 1987 police watched him search out indigenous women at
downtown Eastside, police would rescue the women before she or
they would become guilty. Jordan's next victims, these
women were Rosemary Wilson, November 20th, 1987 at the
Balmoral Hotel, blood levels, 5.2 Verna chart Finland.
November 21st, 1987 at the Pacific Hotel blood alcohol
levels were .43. Sheila Jo November 25th 1987 at
the Rainbow hotel. Blood levels were unknown Mabel
Olson. November 26 1987 at the Pacific
Hotel blood levels unknown two of the women had blood levels
between 0.5 to and 0.53 police arrested the boozing Barber as
he was poisoning, his latest Tempted victims, she had lost
Consciousness. When the police entered the
room. Jordan was laying on top of her.
Forcing, the contents of a large bottle of vodka down her throat.
Like I said, he basically used the Vodka as her passing out and
he was like waterboarding, this pouring it right into their
mouth as they were trying to breathe.
What's interesting too. That there was a show in
Vancouver based on cases. That are were historic in
Vancouver, was called DaVinci's inquest, and they did a boozing.
Barber episode to Vinci's Inquest is based on real life
character. He was a, the former mayor of
Vancouver's name is Larry Campbell and he was a mayor of
Vancouver. He was an RCMP officer and then
he became a corner. So this series was based on his
life and, and they would use like Cases that were in the
media and the headlines of newspapers and they would
incorporate and to the show. So they had a boozing Barber
episode. And in the episode, they show
the scene where the police come in as he's under surveillance
and hesus forcing booze down their throat.
Like he would, he would really try to get them really hyped up
to drink, like he would really offer them here. 20 bucks to
another shot 50 bucks for another shot here. 100 bucks
down the down the whole bottle. And and again you got to
remember these women were marginalized desperate for
money. And and so here's a guys
offering them hundreds of dollars to drink alcohol, right?
So it was so for these women that were marginalized in the
downtown Eastside alcoholics, you know, it was too tempting
and as I get it, they get more inebriated more need rated, he
became more and more forceful with the booze.
Ooh, so police investigators believed that he was linked to
about 10 deaths of different women that they know about.
So there are probably a lot more again because this guy was a
very active Predator, reaching out and searching out over 200
women a year that he would pay to have sex with forcing booze
on them. There's probably a lot more
victims, right? If you just do the number so
they can they I think that there's 10 for sure that he was
with them at the time of their death known for giving them
booze and and all that. So he was charged for seven
deaths but he was convicted only in the deaths of Vanessa, Lee
Buckner he received 15 years for manslaughter but again because
he could afford the very best and legal defenses, and lawyers
because he had the means. And Money on appeal, Jordan
succeeded, in reducing his sentence 29 years but only
served six and reducing the sentence.
Justice Sam toy wrote although the appellant has left a trail
of seven victims. The last was the first occasion
when a person in Authority in a forceful and a realistic manner.
Not to the appellants attention. The fact that supplying a
substantial quantities of liquor to women who are prepared to
drink with him was a contributing cause of their
deaths for which he might be held criminally responsible.
This similar fact, evidence was important in the 1988 trial when
Jordan was tried before a judge alone Justice Brock found Jordan
guilty of manslaughter in the deaths of Buckner.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
And like I said, it was reduced down to nine.
He serves 64 manslaughter connection, and on his
conviction, after his release, he was placed on probation,
which restricted him to Vancouver Island, which he moved
after he was let out of prison. In June of 2000.
He has been charged with sexual assault, assault negligence
causing bodily harm, and administrating.
A noxious substance alcohol in 2000.
Jordan attempted to change his name to Paul Pierce at the time.
A name change in British Columbia did not require
fingerprinting or a criminal record checked after the
loophole was closed. He dropped the application.
So again, he'd kept changing Aging his name.
So when he was out being a predator, it would help him.
Elude detection. Jordan again was arrested in
2002, for breach of probation, because he was found drinking in
the presence of a woman while in possession of alcohol against
his, his conditions. He was found guilty and
sentenced to 15 months in jail. Following three years of
probation with strict conditions.
However On August 11th, 2004. He was arrested in Winnipeg for
violating. His probation order for an
incident at the York hotel and Swift Current Saskatchewan.
August 9th 2004, he has been identified as being a party to
binge drinking with Barb Buckley.
Buckley was a long-term resident of the hotel who had a serious
drinking problem. Buckley was taken to the
hospital by her friend and hotel employee after finding Buckley
in very bad condition. He, he was identified.
Jordan, was identified as being there, but of course, he was
acquitted of those charges in 2005 upon his release police
issued a public warning. On February 3rd, 2005, the
Saanich Police Department issued Alert warning, the public to be
cautious of a recently released Jordan, and this is what they
wrote. Jordan Gilbert Paul age. 73
subject of this alert. Jordan Jordan is 59 ways. 174
pounds, he's partially bald with gray hair and a gray.
Goatee has blue eyes were thick glasses.
Jordan is currently in the Victoria BC area and has no
fixed. Address.
Jordan has a significant criminal record, including
manslaughter indecent assault of a female.
He uses alcohol to lure his victims.
Jordan's Target. Victim groups is adult.
Females. Jordan is subject to court
orders. Additions, including abstain
absolutely from the consumption of alcohol.
Not to be in the company of any female person or persons.
And any place where alcohol is be either being consumed or
possessed by that person or persons.
If You observe this subject and violations of the above
conditions, please call Saanich to Police Department. 911, so
talking about serial killers, And the reign of terror.
So basically, from early 1960s to, right to the very end when
he finally died in 2006, this guy went on a reign of terror
and, you know, he was very, very deceptive moving from different
jurisdictions changing his name, using the law, losing the
lawyers to basically, get away with all his monstrous crimes.
He was comfortable drinking. He was able to learn For them.
And to an isolated area to like a hotel room or his Barbershop,
get them completely loaded to sexually, assault them, and to
ultimately murder them. And he got away with it more
times than we can possibly know. We can again, tie them to about
10 deaths, and I pretty sure there's probably a lot more, you
know, there's probably a lot more women that he murdered
because he didn't stop you. You look at these numbers.
Every opportunity that he had to get a woman drunk and murder
them. He would take that opportunity,
no matter what kind of parole conditions, or even under police
surveillance, he's getting women drunk and trying to murder them.
So, again, this kind of sheds, light into the system, the
system try to declare him a dangerous offender that could
have locked him up in differently.
Finally, he dies in Insects may, he rot in hell and I I want to
say my condolences to all the women that he murdered and died
at his hands and I want to offer all the family and loved ones my
sincerest condolences I'm so sorry that this monster has
caused your family pain and Trauma.
I'm going to continue on with this series and part three of
The Stolen Sisters of East Vancouver.
We're going to start stepping
into the realm of. Robert Pickton, which is
Canada's, probably Canada's worst serial killer far as
number scale horror and depravity.
And for amount of time that it was allowed to take place.
So it's a, it's a massive story, it's a massive undertaking and
it will be multiple Parts as well.
I'll Again, thank you for all the support podcast is doing
amazing on multiple podcast platforms.
It's making some pretty decent ad revenue on some of the
podcast platforms. I'll be starting a patreon
account to help, you know, raise some revenue.
And in the that Revenue, I raise, I'm going to be start
doing a documentary series video series.
It's something I planned from the very beginning.
I make, Excited. I'm working on some
sponsorships, I will be keep on expanding on the different
social media platforms and numbers on Instagram.
Facebook various podcast platforms like Spotify, iTunes.
Google Apple podcasts are doing extremely well.
Very happy. Very pleased with the reception.
And like I said, I'll be starting a patreon account to
start selling memberships to help fund.
Some documentary series. Like for example I want to do a
highway of Tears documentary. I know the area quite well I've
travelled up there quite a bit and I think it's important to
show the scale and the geographic location of the
highway of Tears. For the person to really feel
the true horror of that situation, I'll be doing
documentary series. Also a farm in the downtown
Eastside showing the different, the actual environment, till you
see the environment or what it's Like you can't really truly get
an understanding of the horror of their plus, some missing
person cases that I've been following for quite a long time.
I think it's important to, to show from the viewer point of
view of of what of the location and and the the the shear
mind-boggling, when these people go missing and how there's
absolutely they disappear without.
Trace and there's no logical explanation for why so many
people and British Columbia go missing Without a Trace.
And we'll be breaking that down soon.
So extremely excited to make these projects come alive.
I couldn't do it without your support and help and the support
and help has been truly amazing. And it allows me to put so much
more effort and work into this platform.
I'm really making an effort to Try my best to have a weekly
podcast. I've done a lot of writing, so I
have the material before one of the issues that I was having is
when I do the amount of research that I do, I can't do a podcast
because I'm doing research, or I'm doing writing and not doing.
If I'm not writing, I'm not doing the podcast, and, and vice
a versa. So, I've done a quite a lot of
writing, so I have a lot of material in the pipeline.
The, the podcast I get asked about A lot when they don't put
them out regularly. My DMs get constantly filled
with inquires when's the next podcast?

listening to me telling my crime stories and telling my

British Columbia and in Vancouver Canada, with the
