The child of a victim of Robert Pickton is suing the serial killer along with the RCMP and Vancouver police.
The son of Stephanie Lane was born in 1996, just eight months before his mother disappeared at the age of 20.
Lane's DNA was found on Pickton's Coquitlam pig farm.
Her son is now seeking compensation from Pickton for his mother's death because of the "grief, distress and emotional damage he's suffered."
He's also suing the VPD and RCMP saying both failed to warn Stephanie and others of the risk of a serial killer.
He says VPD and RCMP management were aware, or should have been aware, of the risk posed by a serial killer beginning in 1995, when the number of sex trade workers who had disappeared from the Downtown Eastside had risen to four.
