This week, we're talking about the murders of Holly Marie Wells and Jessica Aimee Chapman. Both girls were 10 years old when they were murdered on August 4th, 2002 in Soham, England. The bodies of both the girls were discovered in an irrigation ditch that was close to a Royal Airforce station in Lakenheath almost 2 weeks later on August 17th, 2002. Due to the state of the bodies, the exact cause of death is unknown, but is likely that they were strangled and died due to asphyxiation. This case is the definition of saying you really don't actually know anyone: your neighbor could be a killer.
This case does have a lot of moving parts to it, so if you guys want a part 2 with more detail, let us know! We didn't cover Ian Huntley’s past accusations/crimes, but if you guys are interested we can definitely tell you guys more about this case. If you're just interested to read more, all the sources used are linked below.
Stay safe out there.
With love,
