How on Earth can they even consider paroleing a monster that rapes and murders two people? This was a serial killer in the making! Two months after being released, he returned to prison for inappropriate behavior with minors, and it's a matter of bureaucratic time before they give him the chance to get out again, it's infuriating and terrifying.

Poor families. I’m so very sorry. 😢also his own children. Imagine having a father like that.

[@pickledragonrebel]

Thanks for the upload. Always prefer uk crime shows to others

[@intuitivediane]

BBC shows are the best for tv shows also

[@blancaesquer7051]

I'm Mex American and I like crime shows from UK , but also crimes investigations from Australia , i have watched most of the Americans crimes cases ! I really like this channel !

[@prakkari]

I always think I am starting to watch something I’ve seen before because of the intro.

[@pickledragonrebel]

For anyone interested. The book :the blooding" is the best in covering this groundbreaking case

Thank you kindly for the book title…

[@annabambus6572]

That mass blood sampling for DNA is exactly one of the ways I would love to see the taxes l pay spent on. 2-3 weeks is pretty fast in my book, especially for the times. I wonder if every time people gave blood a small amount of it couldn't be kept in a DNA blood bank for police work. Of course names, place, time and date would be attached to each sample. It's one way of building up a quickly available data base. Just a sudden thought.

[@judy-9999]

Sorry -- ... they'll start a *FIGHT about it ...

[@BB-oh5vm]

@@judy-9999 Definitely true. You'll see all these posters and banners saying it's against human rights.................but it would be nice if they had some kind of DNA from everyone for research purpose

[@bilinguru]

Knowing how incompetent and corrupt police are, you would have to be criminally insane to voluntarily give them a sample of the one thing in the universe that is uniquely yours.

[@intuitivediane]

In years to come all DNA will be linked from ancestors being tested. I know in Australia when my daughter was born they took DNA. Though that was quickly stopped with do gooders who thought it was wrong. Wrong? How can easily identifying evil people be wrong. I would be more than happy for DNA from everyone to be collected.

[@Flamsterette]

Thanks for the upload!

[@bsways]

These documentaries just say the same thing over and over a hundred times.

[@judyannstreich7499]

Why is the narrator's voice volume so low in comparison to other commentators ?? Music is intrusive at times. Sound editing please.

[@evac.7762]

Pitchfork was released in 2021, only to be returned to prison once more after accosting young girls again.

[@Flamsterette]

We know.

[@sukijay4990]

That’s why he should have got the death penalty. Unfortunately the legal system has too many bleeding hearts in it to entrust them with our safety.

[@annabambus6572]

Bloody hell. I didn't know. This happens way too often.

[@shicruisin7004]

Good lawd! He needs a frontal lobotomy, this one!

[@intuitivediane]

Gosh. This is why should never be released for murder. Horrible.

[@shicruisin7004]

Well, with a surname like "Pitchfork," how can u not be reminded of murder every day of your life! How the hell did such a surname happen, one wonders! I woulda changed it if it was mine!

[@TNT-km2eg]

No CCTV footage , Watson , we are in the dark . Excellent conclusion , Mr Holms ! Well now , Watson , how about this DNA gig , blood sample , for example ? Brilliant Mr Holms , brilliant

[@annabambus6572]

So then the information given by someone that this young boy had spoken about the finding of a body BEFORE the body was found was not true. Haven't listened further, but I would then have immediately seen the person who reported this information as a person of interest, as they might have deliberately been diverting attention from themselves, or they were just looking for attention. Either way, they need to be eliminated as a suspect surely? Will find out what the police thought 🤔

[@CiprianaLeme]

Guilty people do not voluntarily give up their blood for DNA testing... luckily someone rated on him.

[@onionjohnny4998]

The "clue" was there all along , Mr. Baker should have been looking for a local baker ! . . . .

[@evac.7762]

Why would the cut-off age be specifically 34?

[@komple__79]

Huge huge respect for David Baker and alec Jeffrey.

[@dineshapunchihewa1228]

He was released from prison?

[@intuitivediane]

Yes. But back in someone said. How the hell do they allow someone like this to be released. Madness

[@excalaberll2704]

People can underestimate what Demons can do.

[@erichoberg3502]

True, they did beat the Brisbane Lions by 58 points yesterday.

[@grahamwatts8836]

Thankfully they are very rare, it really takes an expert ie detective, psychologist to pick them, two sides to their personalities, hide in pain sight, seem very normal.

[@intuitivediane]

Shocking. I think I would turn into one of it was my daughter. I definitely would be in jail. No way could I let this go

[@B1TKZH47]

An interesting case. But so much repetition! It could easily have been done in 25 minutes.

[@tonyneal4716]

With a name like Colin Pitchfork, what chance did that guy ever have,?

[@lisamareeaccary5132]

And his surname is Pitchfork 😂

[@intuitivediane]

Lived up to his name that’s for sure 😮

All the money wasted on a evil demon …. :(

[@cherylmclaverty2182]

Why do you need to repeat so many times?

[@jonathanbennetts2632]

It is amazing how bad the English grammar is in people of authority in the UK. If I were a solicitor there reading reports from the average copper I would be having a field day. Now I don't think you should need a degree to be a policeman in the UK, but basic english like knowing the correct preposition when talking is essential if you want to be taken seriously in court. I watch many of these programs and the use of the English language by everyone from a copper to the narrator "are" horrendous. (taking the pee) It should be, "is horrendous" ."Is" his a helping verb or a verb "to be" and not a preposition. But they get these verbs wrong also. Ashamed to be English. I teach Asians these rules when they are 9 years old. Prepositions, The verb TO BE and articles. Wow. Basic English miss used by people we are supposed to look up to. .

[@intuitivediane]

Just because you are bad at English doesn’t mean that you are a poor detective.

[@jessicawood800]

"Is" is a helping verb not his and misused not miss used 😉 just had to be a bit of a stirrer there! I hope you know I'm not really that picky over how someone gets their point across though 😂✌️
