In Part II, Marina picks up where the story left off — inside 25 Cromwell Street, where Fred and Rose West had already gotten away with murder. This episode covers the assault on Caroline Owens, the one victim who survived and went to the police — and what happened when the justice system let Fred and Rose walk free. From there, Marina covers the eight young women murdered at Cromwell Street between 1973 and 1979, and the fate of Heather West, the daughter who never made it out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In the first of this series, Marina explores the origins of one of Britain's most notorious killer couples — Fred and Rose West. From Fred's troubled childhood and his first murders in the 1960s, to Rose's deeply disturbed upbringing and how the two came together in Gloucester, this episode traces the making of two killers before the world knew their names.

In March 1960, a quiet day trip to Starved Rock State Park ended in tragedy. Three women set out to hike the trails and never came home.

What followed was a confession, a conviction, and decades of lingering doubt. The man who admitted to the crime later recanted, raising unsettling questions about how the case was handled and whether the truth was ever fully uncovered.

In this episode, we walk through what happened that day, the investigation that followed, and why the Starved Rock murders still feel unresolved more than 60 years later.
