S19E07 | Lara Perrill (Gillingham, Kent, 1991)

In November 1991, the Kent town of Gillingham was shaken by the senseless murder of 18-year-old Lara Perrill.

Lara was a much-loved daughter, sister, niece, and grandchild. She was just beginning her adult life, spending time with friends and making plans for the future. Her warmth and youth made what happened to her all the more devastating.

When Lara failed to make it home after a night out, the search to find her ended in tragedy. As detectives pieced together the events of that night, they soon found themselves dealing with a man whose history of violence and suppressed rage had gone unchecked for years. The question became not just how he could have committed such an act, but whether anything might have stopped him sooner.
