The 9th Series multi episode arc begins this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, through which we shall timejump over a long period, and in which I bring you the full, in depth tale of who is/was very likely, Britain's most prolific child killer, one who if the cases he is suspected of are laid at his feet, will dwarf those of Brady and Hindley, perhaps even Cotton and Dyer.
