Overview

• Fred and Rose West were responsible for at least 12 murders between 1967 and 1987, with victims including their own children and vulnerable women.
• The Netflix series highlights missed opportunities to stop the couple, including a 1973 case where they were fined just £50 for abducting and assaulting a nanny.
• Social workers in 1992 overlooked comments from the West children about their sister Heather being 'under the patio,' delaying the discovery of her remains by two years.
• Investigators and experts suggest the true victim count may exceed 12, with Fred allegedly hinting at up to 30 additional victims buried in undisclosed locations.
• Rose West, now 71 and serving a life sentence, remains under scrutiny for her role in the crimes, with the documentary reigniting public and media interest in unresolved aspects of the case.
