In October 2020, West Mercia police launched a nation wide manhunt. There was a serial killer on the loose and they needed to catch him before he killed again.

The name of this killer isn't widely known outside of the area local to where these horrific murders took place. Today, we're going to explore the facts in the case against Anthony Russell and remember David Williams, Julie Williams and Nicole McGregor.

This is REAL.

On the 22nd of April 2018, 28-year-old mother of three Hollie Kerrell, went missing from her home in Wales.

Her husband told the police that she had left the family home and three people came forward to say they'd seen her after she had disappeared.

But then the police discovered the last text message Hollie had sent from her phone.... their hope of finding Hollie alive started to dwindle.

This is REAL.
