This story, about the 20 other women Robert Pickton was accused of killing whose charges were stayed after he was convicted of six murders, was published March 8, 2008.
This story, by reporter Lori Culbert, was published March 8, 2008:
Dianne Rock’s life to that point was not tragic nor exceptional — she was a fairly typical girl from a small town where, 23 years ago, it wasn’t that uncommon to marry young. As a result, all the evidence police gathered about Dianne during the 20-month search of Pickton’s Port Coquitlam farm is protected by a publication ban.Article contentShe was the second-last woman to disappear of the 26 victims Pickton is accused of killing.
“Being one of the last, where is Dianne’s evidence?” her sister, Lilliane Beaudoin, said during an emotional interview in her Welland home.Article content Ella was worried about the newborn, who had a terrible cold and was wearing a thin nightie. She insisted the teenage mother and her baby remain at the Marins for the weekend so Dianne could get better.
“Dianne was such a loveable little baby. She was so pretty, with big eyes and smiles. She was just so happy,” Beaudoin recalled. “She won our hearts over.”Article content At age 16, Dianne had a daughter. She moved into an upstairs apartment in the home owned by Beaudoin. “She was good with her kids when they were small,” Beaudoin said. “And all of Dianne’s co-workers told Mom that she was a good worker.”Ella didn’t approve, but drove her daughter to the strip club and picked her up afterwards to ensure she was safe.She was, her relatives say, ashamed of dancing and turned to drugs to mask those feelings.
But life was not ideal. There were struggles with drug addictions. Her family didn’t understand why she was troubled.“No matter how much love we gave Dianne, how much we tried to give her a good life, we wondered why she would be that way when we didn’t raise her that way,” Beaudoin said.
