I thought this was earlier, in '90 or '91 or something. At least, the period when the case came to light and the excavations took place. Or am I confusing Mira Hyndley and Ian Brady? No, that was the sixties. It could also be because of that book by Fred West's oldest daughter that I was reading at the time, Out of the Shadows/House of Fear, which came out very soon after the discovery and trial: 1995.
Doesn't matter, it was one of the most notorious murder cases of the 'neighties'.
Actually, the documentary doesn't say much: a lot of home videos of the couple. What is striking is how small Fred West was. Fred West riding around on a bike, it is so banal (a serial killer on a bike) that it just becomes absurd again.
Did Rose know? It just won't come out right.
Ominous music to spice it all up.
Fred West at the crime scene, identifying the bodies.
It is important that judges in certain murder cases visit the scene of a crime themselves to see with their own eyes how or what. Peter R. de Vries also said that in one of his episodes of his crime program, I happened to see that recently.
Because such a 'view' clarifies matters much more and makes everything more three-dimensional. In the past, this was done more often - I think - often with the perpetrator present, although it still happens now: Jos B, for example, who returned to the place where Verstappen was found in '20 together with the judges.
It's remarkable how old-fashioned 1994 already looks. A police uniform and headgear, for example, look like something from the fifties.
A photo zoomed in on for 30 seconds.
Advice: read that book by Anne Marie West. Much better.
