13. Piggy's Palace 1: Why are witnesses reluctant?

More than 60 sex workers go missing in Vancouver. Could a pig farmer be to blame?

Over 60 sex workers go missing in Vancouver.

Robert Pickton is a pig farmer. There are stories of bloodied women's clothes on his farm and even a dead body hanging in a barn. But this isn鈥檛 enough for the police to search his property. Could he be to blame?

On this episode of Bad People, presenters Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss research on why people don鈥檛 always tell the truth and often retract police statements.

This case is broken into two episodes. This is part one.

Warning: This episode contains strong language and references to sexual violence and murder.
