The Lost Girls: Part 5 - The Survivor

It was a simple, quick detour to avoid prying eyes - and it was fortunate that it was just that too, a quick detour, for if it wasn't, then perhaps Teresa Thornhill wouldn't be here today.

That evening in Nottingham in April 1988, she very certainly only narrowly escaped the clutches of death, thanks in part to the survivor she was. Because she was the survivor, her evidence would later be crucial in bringing to a very definite end the reign of arguably, Britain's most prolific child killer.

This is Teresa's story.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature and involving a child, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
