    There is a conspiracy theory, that this case and my previous post, Robert Pickton is related:

    • Both happened around Vancouver.
    • Pickton was working on the pig farm from 1970. He could mix his victims’ bodies with sold pork around 1977.
    • There are some theories that prions can cause Parkinson’s. You can get prions if you consume human brain.

    The problems with this theory:

    • Pickton’s murders officially started later in the 80s.
    • The connection between prions and Parkinson’s is not fully understood if there is any
    • Officially 4 people is not a Parkinson’s cluster, so it can just happen accidentally without common source.
