Gilbert Paul Jordan - The Boozing Barber (BC) Feb 24, 2018

Show notes

Episode 015: Gilbert Paul Jordan, a.k.a. the Boozing Barber, loved to drink and carouse with women. Between 1965 and 1987 nine women died of acute alcohol poisoning while in his company, while four others came close. Although police knew about Jordan's involvement in theier deaths. his prey were the down on their luck indigenous women from Vancouver's downtown East Side. Cops tended believed him when he told them he found them that way, even though he was a violent and sadistic career criminal. Women like that die every day down town. He was only ever charged with one murder and how that turned out was shocking too.
