How To Catch A Serial Killer

image

The incredible cat and mouse game between a skilled detective and a calculating killer.

This explosive documentary provides a blow-by-blow account of one of the UK’s biggest crime stories of recent years. Spanning more than a decade, multiple murders, two much-publicised trials and one irreparably damaged career, it is the gripping account of the dogged pursuit of a serial killer – Christopher Halliwell – by DCI Steve Fulcher, a police officer determined to get justice for the families of his victims – but who ended up losing his job as a result.

Packed with previously unheard testimony, and raising questions about the constraints within which the police have to sometimes work, this extraordinary hour looks at the painstaking detective work of the case, as well as the mindset of one of Britain’s most dangerous predatory criminals. It also reveals damning evidence gathered by Fulcher, which suggests Halliwell had more victims.
