“If the police don’t want you to see a file, you’re never gonna know it exists.”

Lorimer Shenher, author of That Lonely Section of Hell: The Botched Investigation of a Serial Killer Who Almost Got Away, talks about his time with the Vancouver police, where he investigated Robert Pickton.

This is part one of a two-part series on police accountability.
