==== '''''Preliminary Inquiry''''' ==== The preliminary inquiry began in 2003, after the lengthy search and excavation of his property was completed. The findings from this inquiry were under a publication until 2010. This inquiry revealed that: * Robert Pickton had been charged in 1997, following the attempted murder of a prostitute named Wendy Lynn Eistetter at his farm. She stated that he had handcuffed her and stabbed her with a knife before she had disarmed him, injured him, and escaped. She and Pickton were both treated for knife wounds in the same hospital, where staff used a key found in his pocket to unlock her handcuffs. These charges were later dropped, allegedly due to the woman's drug addition and instability. * The clothes and rubber boots that Pickton had been wearing were seized following the incident in 1997, and held in storage by RCMP for seven years. Testing was not preformed until 2004, and this revealed the presence of the DNA from two missing girls. * In 1998, police received a tip from a police hotline saying that Pickton should be investigated in the disappearances, but this was never followed up on. In 1999, they received another tip that Pickton had a freezer filled with human flesh. They questioned Pickton, and obtained his permission to conduct a search of his property, but never performed one.
