Fred West's Assassination of a Woman

Fred didn't know his victims' names or exactly how many there were. He was taken back to 25 Cromwell Street again to pinpoint where he'd buried them. Investigators sifted through the records of regional police, social services, local care homes and charity organisations for any young women who had vanished in the last 20 years. The missing persons helpline rang off the hook as callers sought to find out if their absent loved one might have crossed paths with Fred West. It took two men to drag the ground penetrating radar equipment along the bare concrete floor of the West's cellar. Abnormalities were detected in the earth below the red circles that Fred painted.
