Overview

Robert Pickton: True Crime Serial Killers By Johann Bachmann He hunted in the shadows. The system let him. Between 1997 and 2002, dozens of women-many Indigenous, many sex workers-vanished from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. For years, their disappearances were ignored, dismissed, or buried under bureaucratic indifference. Behind it all was one of Canada's most chilling predators: Robert Pickton. In this gripping, unflinching work of true crime, author Johann Bachmann tells a story far more disturbing than just one man's monstrous acts. Through meticulous research, survivor testimonies, and investigative insight, Robert Pickton: True Crime Serial Killers lays bare a devastating truth: Pickton's killing spree was enabled by a system that failed its most vulnerable. This is not a story of one killer. It is a reckoning with the institutions-police, government, and society-that allowed him to thrive. From the rainy alleys of Vancouver's marginalized neighborhoods to the eerie isolation of a pig farm in Port Coquitlam, this book weaves together: The stories of women who vanished and the lives they lived The overlooked reports, ignored witnesses, and warnings that went unheeded The systemic racism and social neglect that marginalized entire communities The determined efforts of investigators, family members, and survivors who refused to give up Told with empathy, urgency, and moral clarity, this book is both a memorial and a call to action. It refuses to let these women become statistics. It challenges the reader to confront how injustice becomes normalized-and how predators like Pickton exploit society's blind spots. Foreword by Dr. Raven Sinclair, Indigenous scholar and advocate, adds vital perspective on the broader crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada. For readers of: The Girls Are Gone, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Highway of Tears, American Predator, and The Lost Girls.

Author Information

Johann Bachmann is a multidisciplinary author whose diverse body of work explores the intricate terrain of the human experience through psychology, philosophy, cultural anthropology, and sharp-witted satire. Drawing from academic foundations and lived insight, Bachmann crafts narratives that range from meditative explorations of the psyche to biting critiques of modern society. With works such as Reclaiming Yourself: Overcoming Trauma with CBT, The Human Condition, and The Modern Man, Bachmann demonstrates a deep commitment to personal growth, emotional resilience, and the evolving dynamics of identity in a rapidly shifting world. His approach is marked by clarity, compassion, and intellectual rigor, making complex psychological and sociological concepts accessible and deeply relatable. In titles like Angels & Demons and The Book of the Dead, he delves into the symbolic and mythological dimensions of the human soul, weaving Jungian archetypes and cross-cultural beliefs into a rich tapestry of introspection and spiritual inquiry. These works speak to readers who are not only curious about the world but also courageously engaged in their own inner journeys. Bachmann's satirical works, including The Capitalist Manifesto, Money & Greed Again: The Adventures of President Ronald Grump, and The Joe Rogain Conspiracy Special, reveal a different dimension of his voice-one that is unafraid to challenge, parody, and expose the absurdities of contemporary power, media, and cultural myth-making. His humor is both irreverent and incisive, offering readers laughter wrapped in social commentary. What unites all of Johann Bachmann's writing is a deep reverence for the questions that shape our lives: What does it mean to be human? How do we find meaning in suffering? What do our myths, systems, and stories reveal about us? Whether addressing the silent wounds of trauma or the loud chaos of politics, Bachmann's work invites readers to think critically, feel deeply, and engage authentically with the world and with themselves. Johann Bachmann continues to write, research, and explore from his home base, where psychology meets storytelling and satire meets sincerity. His books serve as both mirrors and maps-for those seeking understanding in the noise and silence of modern life.
