The story this week is from South Wales and is as shocking a story as I have ever brought to you on the UK True Crime Podcast. It is hard to comprehend that in the small town of Maesteg, lived a man with an obsession for the crimes of Fred & Rose West and fantasised about travelling the county abducting, assaulting and murdering innocent women. In this episode, we hear how this fantasy become a terrifying reality.
