Have you ever watched a movie based on a real crime and wondered how much of it was true? I'm Chelsea and as a lifelong movie lover and true crime listener, I wanted to tell those stories with the care and attention that the victim's deserve. Each episode, I'll watch a movie, dive into the case and discuss the fact vs. fiction. Wicked Cinema Podcast, where truth and entertainment intersect.
A serial killer duo. A crime that shocked the UK. The ordinary woman in the middle.
Fred and Rose West were arrested for the murders of twelve young girls and women in total. In Part 3, let's talk about Fred's fate, Rose's trial, and Janet Leach's testimony at trial in episode three of Appropriate Adult (starring Emily Watson and Dominic West).
