Showing at The Eric Morecambe Centre…Join former forensics lecturer and police recruit trainer JENNIFER REES to explore some of the world’s most shocking and hard-to-believe crimes. This fascinating evening includes the following cases:-
• The serial killer who gained work in law enforcement whilst on the run – and was then tasked with hunting himself!
• The researcher whose career began after an encounter in a lift with a serial killer – who had just killed his latest victims, and was carrying a bag believed to be holding their decapitated heads.
• One woman’s plan to get a prolific serial killer released from prison by committing a copycat murder of her own… and her connection to yet another serial killer!
• The hunt for a phantom female serial killer whose DNA was found at over 40 crime scenes spanning 18 years… who did not exist.
• Plus learn how the police could have DNA, fingerprints or an eyewitness tying you to a crime you did not commit!
• And much more!
