The inquiry is investigating why it took Vancouver police and RCMP until 2002 to catch serial killer Robert Pickton when they were receiving detailed tips as far back as 1998.Pickton, 62, is serving a life sentence for the murders of six women. He was charged initially with killing 20 more but those charges were stayed in 2010.The serial killer has been linked by DNA to the deaths of 33 women and has boasted to an undercover police officer that he killed at least 16 more.The Evans report said it was the job of the deputy chief at the time, Brian McGuinness, to ensure proper resources were provided to the investigation, which was plagued by staff shortages.
