It Gets Worse...

In episode 5, we talked about the murder of Thomas Wayne Grammer and how a deck of cards led to the conviction of his killers. Then we talk about the abduction and brutal murder of 2-year-old James Bulger in 1993. Two 10-years old stole him from his mother in Liverpool and then was taken 2.5 miles away and murdered on a railway.
