Myra and Rose

I had never heard of Rose West and this was intriguing to hear. I become fascinated with serial killers and don’t understand how they can think the way they think! I googled Myra Henley and Rose West and came to find out they became best of friends while in prison. There’s a segment about them two together. Their friendship abruptly stopped and no one knows why. But the theory is Myra is a manipulator and Rose wasn’t going to deal with it. I just thought you two would find that interesting! I love the podcast!
