Sorry, should have read the whole thread first....
Re: Pig Farm
I thought for SURE you were talking about the guy up here in Vancouver (Port Coquitlam to be exact) Robert Pickton.
http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers...robert_pickton/ (it's loooong so you might want to just surf through the 'chapters' on the right)
Funny, he actually took 2 ideas you've given here and put them together....
1. Put bodies through wood chipper.
2. Fed them to his pigs.
Trial is still pending as far as I know.
Thing is, not much was found.....I believe he is charged with 15 counts, but is believed to have killed many more women....they just can't find all of them....but they did find the DNA of 15 so far....so there are definitely flaws in his plan too...lol.

Even some US media stations are complying.
