it finally starts up on monday, and sadly i have interest in it more than some.. my cousins dna was found on the pig farm, and i hope this bastard rots in hell..i've heard a lot of jokes though, and a lot of disrespect about all the victims just being "whores and drug addicts"..well..these women were family...they were daughters..mothers..sisters..and well.cousins...heather was a great person before she fell in with the wrong crowd..i hadn't spoken to her in a couple of years, but the love i felt for her had never gone away...i have a picture of the 2 of us from my 4th birthday party of the 2 of us hugging..she was one year older than me....i'm not sure what the purpose of this post is..except to say if you've ever thought that those women were lesser people, i hope you change your mind...nobody wants to end up down there...here's hoping that justice is done, although nothing will bring back my favorite cousin..

Sorry to hear that Ope...very sad indeed. My Head Office is in Port Coquitlam and the first time I flew out there for meetings I had someone from the office take me by the old Pig farm. I was shocked to see just how close all of these brand new homes have been built to the crime scene. I hear that a number of these homes may need to be raized to continue the search for more evidence and DNA.
And a number of people in the office have been to Piggy's Palace parties throughout the years...one guy still had a T-Shirt from the place.

I'm sorry, I feel entirely out of the loop. Perhaps I missed the news that week. Can someone enlighten me?

It is a truly disgusting story out in BC. Is it believed that he acted alone throughout the years, or is it thought that he had help? Sorry about your loss Opiated!

Sorry to hear that one of your family members was a victim to that sick monster. Hopefully our justice system doesn't let us down and puts that bastard away forever. I can't believe he had the nerve to plead not guilty. Here's hoping that you will be able to find some closure at the end of this all.

Here's hoping justice is served and that piece of garbage gets what he deserves.
Just remember that the things you'll read in the paper won't be the things you'll remember about Heather and try not to let it upset you too much. I went through a murder trial a number of years back that made headlines in London Ontario(my sister's best friend- and my friend as well- was strangled to death by her estranged boyfriend when she was almost 9 months pregnant) and the person they portrayed in the media was NOT who we knew. People were talking to the press about the 'couple' and we'd never seen them before. All in all it was very enlightening to how slanted (be it their fault or not... sensationalism and all that) the media is. To this day it's hard for me to read the paper without wondering what the real story is.
