Missing women inquiry hears of Pickton records destroyed

APTN National News
A woman identified only as “Ms. Anderson” survived an attack from Robert Pickton in 1997, but the Crown Prosecutor’s records of the incident were destroyed in 2000 after the charges were stayed, the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry has heard.

Anderson was expected to testify at the inquiry this week, but still suffers from social and psychological issues surrounding the attack.

The inquiry heard from Randi Connor, the Crown Prosecutor who stayed the charges against Pickton. She said that records of a previous sexual assault by Pickton were not in a report delivered to Crown Counsel at the time.

APTN National News reporter Tina House has the details.
