A handwritten book was seized from B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton's prison cell following his death earlier this year, raising hopes of uncovering new evidence in a series of unprosecuted murders.
The B.C. RCMP confirmed writings "believed to have been authored" by Pickton were pored over for potential information on his crimes, but said the documents contained no such details.
"The writings have been thoroughly examined and contained no reference to any of the missing women or offences for which Pickton was convicted," an RCMP spokesperson said in a statement.
Details of the seizure are outlined in a search warrant sworn in New Westminster provincial court in late July, two months after Pickton died in hospital.
The 74-year-old was attacked on May 19 by a fellow inmate at Port-Cartier Institution, the Quebec prison where he had been incarcerated, and the serial killer succumbed to his injuries nearly two weeks later.
According to the warrant application, approximately 200 pages were subsequently recovered from his cell by a corrections officer who was searching for a potential will.
The pages were collectively titled: "Pickton in his own words. My life as I truly see it."
