The Child Snatcher: Hunt for the Fairground Predators
Season 1 Episode 1 of 2
Part one of two. Documentary telling the story of one of the UK's largest murder investigations, with police hunting for a serial killer who abducted and murdered Jennifer Cardy, Susan Maxwell, Caroline Hogg and Sarah Harper in the 1980s. Detectives from multiple forces attempted to join the dots between the murders using antiquated policing systems, but without vehicle registration recognition, CCTV or even fully-fledged computer systems, could they close the net before the killer struck again?
The Child Snatcher: Hunt for the Fairground Predators airs on Channel 5 HD at 10:00 PM, Tuesday 28 January. (Subtitles, repeat.)
