VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- A pig farmer, who if convicted could become Canada's most notorious serial killer, was charged Wednesday with 12 new counts of first-degree murder. The new charges come on top of the 15 charges Robert Pickton already faces in the disappearance of more than 60 women, mainly prostitutes who vanished from the seedy Downtown Eastside neighborhood of Vancouver. The remains of at least 31 women were found at Pickton's farm about 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the heart of Vancouver. The 55-year-old single man lived with his brother and sister on the farm left to them by their parents.

Pickton Farms: We pick only the finest Canadians for our Canadian bacon.
Yes, more than 60 women dead, what a funny premise to make jokes about.
He had issues.
That first one is a killer... lol.
Did they call him Bricktop?
I'm surprised PETA hasn't weighed in. I hear the guy is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent pigs.
How did they identify the 31 different individual persons whose remains were found?
God, please bring peace to the families of these victims!
In the article it states, one woman was missing for eight years.
I wonder how long ago was the first murder.
Don't worry, there are plenty of prostitutes left.
Johnny, tell Wu he' s got competition in the disposal business...
Yes, pigs will eat just about anything, including human flesh.
SWEARJIN!
Yep, pigs will eat anything. In fact it's most common in Arkansas to explain the dissappearance of a wife or inlaw by stating, 'she went out to relieve herself last night, lost her balance on the fence and the pigs ate her.'
My Father-In-Law always said the best way to dispose of a body was to feed it to pigs. (Then he'd look at me with a strange glint in his eye...)
Actually, we have to contrast this sort of thing with the penny-ante sort of thing the Dems keep coming up with about Tom DeLay.
Ol' Tom doesn't hold a candle to this guy when it comes to REAL CRIME!
The Dems should just leave Tom alone and go on about their business. Or, maybe some of them ought to fly up to Vancouver to pay their last respects to some of their former girlfriends.
I saw a special on this case a couple of months okay. Apparently the Canadian police resolutely IGNORED ALL LEADS on this case especially leads to this guy who apparently has cop friends. They even went so far as to fire their expert on serial killers. This is a big black eye to the Canadians. They just didn't give a damn about these women. I think they started to freak out when they realized that he had been giving his "pork" products out as gifts. Yech.
Hey, you saw Snatch too? Great movie.
