The Patio Joke Was True: Rose West and Britain’s House of Horrors
In February 1994, police dug up a Gloucester back garden looking for a missing 16-year-old. They found her under the patio. Then they found another body. Then they opened the cellar.
This episode is the story of Rosemary West, 25 Cromwell Street, and the ten murders that put her on a whole-life sentence. Host Alexander’s Lawson names the victims — including eight-year-old Charmaine and Rose’s own daughter, Heather — and follows the case from the “she ran away” excuses to the 1995 Winchester trial.
A missing girl. A family joke. A house that looked ordinary from the street.
