In the early hours of Saturday 19th March 2011, a 22-year-old named Sian O'Callaghan left Suju's nightclub in Swindon after a night out with her friends. It should have been less than a 15-minute walk home to the house she shared with her boyfriend Kevin Reape (played by Charlie Cooper). However, she never returned. Realising something was seriousl...
Sian was caught on CCTV at 2.52am leaving the nightclub in Swindon, Wiltshire. The next important clue came from a text message sent by Kevin at 3.24am, which was received on Sian's phone; analysis showed that her mobile phone had been in the Savernake Forest area at the time the message arrived. This was roughly 12 miles away. If she had traveled ...
The senior investigating officer on the case was Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher (played in A Confession by Martin Freeman) – and the events of 24th March would be the defining moment of his career. On that day, the police made an urgent appeal for witnesses who had spotted a green Toyota Avensis with taxi markings. The car had been seen on ...
A young woman called Becky Godden-Edwards had gone missing a number of years before, last seen in 2002 or 2003. She was a drug addict and sex worker, and after she disappeared her mother Karen Edwards (played by Imelda Staunton) had spent years hoping she would return. After his arrest, Halliwell revealed the location of Sian's body. She was found ...
After Halliwell's arrest, Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher made an unusual decision – with huge ramifications. Instead of bringing Halliwell back to Gablecross police station in Swindon where he would have had access to a solicitor, Fulcher ordered his officers to take Halliwell to a nearby Iron Age hill fort called Barbury Castle. At this po...
In May 2012 Christopher Halliwell pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering Sian O'Callaghan, but when he appeared in Bristol Crown Court in October 2012 he pleaded guilty to her murder. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of 25 years.
Halliwell wasnotcharged with Becky's murder in his 2012 trial, as a judge had ruled his confession to the crime was inadmissible in court. However, four years later judge Sir John Griffith Williams decided that Fulcher's evidence could – and should – be heard in court as part of the case. He argued thatthe original judge (Mrs Justice Cox) had been ...
This investigation damaged Fulcher's career as a senior police officer, and despite keeping his job with a final written warning in January 2014, he resigned from the force in May of that year. Since then, the Christopher Halliwell case has remained at the centre of his life. He published a book, titled Catching a Serial Killer: My hunt for murdere...
"I deliberately and very carefully didn't get into specifics of other victims," writer Jeff Pope said. Halliwell is thought to have killed Becky in 2003, while Sian was killed in 2011. It is possible that there were other victims before or after Becky – but he has never been charged or convicted of any other murders. In 2014,the police found "up to...
