About this episode

Fred and Rose West, one of England's most notorious serial killer couples, murdered at least 9 together during the 1970s and 1980s. But, they also killed separately. When Fred, who was already a murderer, met Rose, the union brought out the worst in each of them. Their house at 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester, England, would become known as "The House of Horrors".

Join Mike and Gibby for part 1 of 2 of the Fred and Rose West story. In this first episode we focus on the childhoods of both Fred and Rose and the murders that Fred committed before the pair met. They both had horrific childhoods, the facts of which give some insight into how they later were capable of committing such brutal murders.
