Fred and Rose West

In February 1994 police and social services in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, began investigating Fred West for rape and incest involving his 13 year old daughter. Soon however, their attention turned to the whereabouts of another of his daughters, Heather West, who had not been seen by anyone in the family since 1986. They listened as the West children told of their parent's family joke, how they would wind up buried beneath the patio like their sister should they misbehave. Soon the police discovered that, much to their horror, the joke was grounded in reality, and that Heather West wasn't the only secret the garden at 25 Cromwell Street held.
