Episode notes
Political Context Shaped The Inquiry
- John Hamer argues political context shaped the Soham investigation and prosecutions.
- He links the looming Iraq invasion to a motive to avoid implicating American servicemen near Lakenheath.
Bodies Found Near A Highly Monitored Base
- The girls' bodies were found at the perimeter of RAF Lakenheath after increased base security and changing camera positions.
- Hamer suggests the dump location and camera shifts make a local civilian suspect less plausible than someone familiar with the base.
Irregular Procedures Raised Red Flags
- Hamer highlights procedural irregularities: high-profile court venue, leaked prior allegations, and rapid psychiatric detention.
- He frames these moves as deliberate steps to silence or discredit Ian Huntley and control the narrative.
