In 1987, such a case occurred in the UK.
Two young women were killed one after another. The investigation methods were laid back then and there were very few clues, which eventually became a unsolved case. Finally, 32 years later, the case ushered in a breakthrough, and the truth was about to come out.
Unexpectedly, in addition to two murders, the murderer also hid a shocking secret, making this case an unprecedented case in the UK.
So what happened back then?
Let's go back first In 1987, I will take you to re-examine the details of the case
Kent County Kent County (Kent) is located in the southeast of England, England, across the sea from France. The agriculture here is developed and has charming pastoral scenery. Therefore, Kent is called "Back Garden of England "
Kent County
The story we tell today happened here.
Wendy Knell Wendy Knell, 25 years old.
She had a failed marriage, but fortunately she survived the difficult days and is currently working as a manager at a photography store (SupaSnaps) in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Wendy Knell
also made a new boyfriend, and my friend's evaluation of her is a passionate and hardworking girl.
Wendy is very satisfied with the current situation and looks forward to a happy and fulfilling life in the future.
On June 23, 1987, Wendy did not go to work, and her colleague in the photography store notified Wendy's boyfriend.
My boyfriend thought Wendy had overslept, so he came to Wendy's apartment and looked into the room through an open window. This look will be unforgettable for life.
This glance will never forget
Wendy lying naked on the bed, it was already cold, and blood was everywhere on her body and bed.
After preliminary examination, Wendy should have been strangled to death. She suffered tragic beatings and assaults during her lifetime.
Neighbors said that they did not hear any abnormal noise last night, nor did they see anyone who made a living.
There are no signs of forcibly breaking into the house. The murderer seemed to have done a simple cleaning of the scene, and there were not many clues left.
Police found a blood fingerprint on a shopping bag, a footprint on the cuff of one of Wendy's white shirts, and a small blood-stained tote bag.
white shirt cuffs
In that era, there was no surveillance and no witnesses, and these clues alone could not solve the case.
What the police did not expect was that tragedy did not stop. On November 24, five months after Wendy's murder, 20-year-old Caroline Pierce also disappeared in Kent.
Caroline Pierce
No matter how the police and town residents search, they can't find anyone.
ditch
At that time, Caroline had nothing but a tight underwear. After inspection, it was confirmed that Caroline, like Wendy, who was killed before, was strangled and abused and violated.
Therefore, the police concluded that the two cases were committed by the same person and named the murderer "Bedsit killer" Bedsit killer.
Two cases were committed by the same person
However, since Caroline's body was soaked in water for a long time, no useful clue was found.
A small town that has always been peaceful suddenly happened, and two murders of bad nature occurred one after another, and the town was panicked.
Caroline
However, at that time, there was no traceable mobile phone, no surveillance video, and DNA analysis was just in its infancy. The British criminal archive database was created 8 years later.
There is no evidence. In the absence of physical evidence, these two cases have not been investigated for a long time and gradually became a local unsolved case.
In a blink of an eye, it was in 1999, when the UK had established a preliminary DNA database .
NA database
Local police suddenly saw a glimmer of hope of solving the case. They extracted DNA from the evidence they had saved before.
was screened in the database, and it was a pity that the murderer was not matched. Of course, this was not much related to the DNA database established at that time.
At that time, the database was arrested and his information was included. Those who had never been caught would not have his information in the database.
DNA technology
This is thanks to the development and progress of technology. With the maturity of DNA technology, experts have adopted new technology to extract some DNA samples of the murderer from the victim Wendy's down duvet and the remaining sperm spots on Caroline's underwear.
In addition, there is also an important new technology "family DNA chain"
means that even if the murderer's data is not in the DNA database, as long as the data of his relatives is in the database, it is matched through DNA and then narrowed to a certain family.
This time, the suspects were narrowed to 90 people through screening, and it was confirmed that the closest thing to that DNA sample was a family named David.
David's family
The police began to study the genealogy of this David family to see which tribe can match the time and place, and finally locked in the David Fuller (David Fuller) in the family.
David has a criminal record. He stole bicycles during his school years and entered society and often engaged in theft. He recorded more than 20 thefts, but he was not sampled in the early days.
David Fuller
In 1987, when two women were killed, David was living nearby. At that time, he was young and had the ability to commit crimes.
On December 3, 2020, the police came to David's house with a search warrant and found David, who was 66 years old and had white hair.
Police came to David's house
David was born in 1954, has been married 3 times in total, has four children, and has cheated many times during his marriage.
It is worth mentioning that since he moved to his current residence, he has a very popular relationship, and his neighbors affectionately called him " Uncle Dave ".
When the police asked him if he was familiar with the murdered two girls, David shook his head quickly.
David
But the facts are obviously not like this. The evidence is in his home. It turns out that David is a very nostalgic person. He likes to record where he has been, and likes to leave invoices when he buys things.
Judging from the invoice, David lived in Kent in 1987.
Coincidentally, as a member of the bicycle club, David often rode the swamp where Caroline was found.
Bicycle Club
In fact, the place where David lived was very close to the victim Wendy's residence, and it was on the same road.
David has a record of going to Caroline to work in the restaurant, and he also found an envelope belonging to Wendy's work shop at his house.
The most critical evidence is a photo from the 1980s. In the photo, David is lying on a blanket on the grass and sunbathing. At this angle, his soles are just exposed.
Do you remember some of the bloody shoe prints I found in Wendy's room 33 years ago? Yes, the patterns of these two shoe prints are exactly the same.

The above evidence shows that David is a major suspect in the crime. As the police took DNA samples on David, the murderer who had been absconding for 33 years finally surfaced.
But no one would have thought that what emerged with the truth was the morgue demon lurking in the darkness.
morgue demon
When the police searched David's house, they accidentally discovered a large number of storage devices.
morgue demon
The locations of these devices seem to be very casual and not hidden, so the police easily discovered that these devices recorded a large number of indecent videos and photos.
In addition to these unconcealed devices, the police also found 4 large hard drives behind a cabinet, which were hidden very well.
4Big hard disk
The content in the hard disk is more disgusting and extremely perverted than shameful.
records all the perverted sexual behavior of David blaspheming his body in the morgue.
In a black notebook, David recorded all the information of the victims one by one, and even the time when he violated the body was recorded in detail.
black notebook
Only then did people know that David Fuller was not only the murderer of two murders 33 years ago, but also a morgue demon.
According to statistics, David repeatedly sexually assaulted a total of 102 female bodies. Among these people who were unfortunately injured after death, the youngest was only 9 years old, and the oldest was over 100 years old.
The police repeatedly compared and confirmed the identities of 82 deceased, and 20 others were unable to determine their identities.
According to the police officers investigating the case, they were very disgusted when they saw those videos, but they had to watch them seriously and identify the identity of each body, which was very challenging.
The pervertedness of this case is extremely rare in the whole world
Under many ironclad evidence, David's defense seemed pale and powerless, and he finally admitted his crime.
David
Although David was arrested, it is hard to understand that David has been committing crimes for more than ten years, and the hospital has surveillance, so why hasn't anyone ever discovered it?
Speaking of which, this is related to David's work, he has been working as an electrician in the hospital since 1989.
has worked in two hospitals (Kent and Sussex Hospital, Tunbridge Wells Hospital, Tunbridge Wells Hospital) .
Tanbridge Wells Hospital
Due to his special working nature, he needs to go to every corner of the hospital for equipment maintenance, so the hospital has equipped him with a universal access card.
This card can enter and exit all areas of the hospital, including the morgue where the remains are parked.
multi-capacity access card
There are two doors in the morgue, but only one door has monitoring, while the other is more hidden.
As a maintenance staff, David has long figured out this situation clearly.
victim
So every time he waits for others to get off work, he goes around to a place where there is no surveillance, and starts interacting with the body. He even carries a small camera with him and records the entire process.
Afterwards, he will record the time of the crime and the information of the victims in his notebook, and he regards this as " spoil ".
Perhaps David also knows that what he does is despised. He is very good at disguising himself and smiles at everyone on the surface.
, like something like the light bulb or wire breaks, he always takes the initiative to help, and does not forget to smile during the service process, and has a great attitude.
David disguised him very well
The hospital staff all had a very good impression of him, thinking that David was a kind and helpful person. The point is that David was always willing to work overtime and never complained. He was a real Good British employee .
When David was arrested, his colleagues in the hospital couldn't believe that this good employee who always smiled was such a person.
David's wife said:
My mind was blank. When I knew that he (David) had done such a terrible thing, I didn't dare to live in the same house he lived in, and I couldn't stand it all.
As for why David did this, he himself did not make any comments. Dr Richard Badcock, a psychiatrist, believes that:
David's initial stealing, to peeping, and then to killing was a typical crime escalation. He pursued thriller more and more. Later, he worked in the hospital and was even more upgraded to the extreme " Necrophilia ".
crime upgrade
From David's notebook, the police can confirm that he has never stopped invading the corpse during the 12 years from 2008 to 2020.
David started in 1987 and from 2008, he had no idea whether he had any similar behavior. After

David's crime was exposed and he was in an instant!
In response to this, British Minister of Health (Sajid Javid) and MPs (Greg Clark) stood up immediately, saying that it is far from enough to catch the murderer, and it is necessary to investigate thoroughly.
British Minister of Health and Members of Parliament
The UK has never found such a bad case, and it is not enough to calm the public's anger if it is not found clearly.
MPs said:
"One of the hospitals in the case was very modern, with a perfect system and a perfect system. If something happens like this, then other hospitals are more likely to have something to do."
After that, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and more members of parliament also began to speak out and support a thorough investigation.
thoroughly check
Although David's behavior was extremely bad, at the legal level in the UK, the maximum penalty was only 2 years, and everyone expressed strong dissatisfaction.
Of course, in addition to the body assault, David has dozens of other charges, including two counts of murder, indecent photos of children, voyeurism, and so on.
In the end, David was sentenced to two counts of life imprisonment for murder, and a series of other crimes were sentenced to 12 years in prison.
was sentenced to 12 years in prison
It can be confirmed that David will not be able to leave prison alive in this life.
OK, the above is today's story. I am Changfeng, see you next time!
