- Soham, Cambridgeshire, England. A warm summers evening in August, 2002.
Two 10 year old girls are reported missing after leaving their house to go and buy sweets. They knew the area well, everyone knew them and given their conscientious nature, suddenly going missing, was more than just out of character...

I can’t believe it’s been twenty years. The names Huntley and carr are still spit out with absolute disdain here in Britain and those two precious girls have not been forgotten, the memory for most of us hasn’t faded even a little. God bless Holly and Jessica 🙏🏻
♥️
I remember it so vividly - doesnt feel like 20 years
I remember it like it was yesterday and I was only 7 years old at the time.
Absolutely.
I'm still furious that Maxine Carr was released and given a new identity. Absolutely outrageous
I remember this as if it were yesterday. Hits a lot different now I’m older and a mum myself. RIP Holly and Jessica. You’re still so loved and missed by the nation.
Should of kept ya legs shut. Why on earth would u bring a child into this world.
AGREE 100% RIP
I feel the same as a parent now
As a mother of eight I feel the same
Same here. I was about same age as these girls when they went missing. I'm a mum to 1 (almost 2) children. I couldn't even imagine losing my babies.
It sent chills down my spine when he said .. “ I might be the last friendly face they would have seen “ he is one of the worst evil sadistic killers I’ve ver seen give such interviews repeatedly and look and sound so calm and believable too
He's a evil nutcase
calm yes. believable, no. Absolutely emotionless, and even then I saw that as a red flag. Creepy!
There will always be defective people like this it is how you as a society deal with this face and British society is incapable of dealing with things it does not like thinking about
I hope he gets his comeuppance in prison every day
This is evil no one can escape God judgment of condemnation if they don't repent of their sins no matter what sin
Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today
Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today
Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
hearing that they were buried next to eachother made me cry so hard. it gives some odd form of comfort knowing that they have been together through all the hell they endured. the little boys giving up their ball made me lose it too 😭
It’s similar to the “Babes in the Wood” murder victims, except they literally share one big gravestone. Seeing the forensics from a distance going into the woods to examine the bodies tore my heart to shreds! I’m grateful that none of my Primary School schoolmates (Barton Clough in Lancashire near Trafford Centre) got killed.
It’s ironic that we’re taught about “stranger danger” but 95% of people who are murdered, are murdered by someone they know and with him being a caretaker in a school, he’s someone they should’ve been able to trust.
If it wasn't for carr luring the girls to Huntley home they'd still be alive today the evil ugly witch.
i'd have never gone into the house of a member of school staff
@@PainElemental Eh why not? They were ten-kids are generally trusting and naïve, when I was ten I went into the home of my school teacher/headmistress who lived locally. I also went to my teacher's house on Sunday to practice for a play, another time I entered my other teacher's house and sat chatting to her when I was a kid. We lived in a small town so knew each other and of course we trusted them.
@@shanefolan9175That’s extremely unprofessional on the part of the teachers. You wouldn’t know any different at a young age.
@@woowah32 no it's not. It was in the 90s/early 00s long before the world went pc mad.
The courage of Holly's dad in standing up and reciting that wonderful tribute at the funeral made me cry a lot.
The speech sounded cold n weird. What dad makes up a poem like that n with no emotion. Words didn’t make sense either. I thought there was Something odd about it all.
@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 ian Huntley killed the kids stop trying to create something about the father
Me too
It was emotionless..strange.
@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 If you bear in mind everything they had gone through in the previous weeks, the emotions, stress & worry, the emotional press calls etc.......maybe this was his final thing he could do for his daughter, by holding it together to read the poem, now they knew with certainty she was at peace. None of us know the practice times when he may have 'fallen apart', none of us know what the parents went through for those weeks, nor do we know if they had been prescribed calming medication to get them through. (I know I had them prescribed to get through both my parents actual funeral days!).
I will never be able to forget about these two beautiful girls, you see on the 5th of Aug 2002 I gave birth to my twin girls whom I named Jessie and Hollie. When I was released from hospital two days later i remember watching the news about their disappearance and I couldn’t believe that I had given my baby girls the same names. I know it’s nothing more than just an amazing coincidence. I did consider changing their names as they hadn’t been legally registered at that point and I didn’t want people to think that I had called them after Jessica and holly, but decided against it. Some people have told me that it was so much more than just a coincidence and maybe it was. I had chosen their names as soon as I was told I was carrying twins. My heart still hurts for Holly and Jessica’s parents. I hope this monster is never released from prison.
Beautiful strength that you kept the names and honored the girls. God bless you and yours
What a coincidence? I literally think it’s quite a story ❤ because Jess and holly were like twins
It's not just coincidence but an unplanned homage that turned out to be an amazing idea. That's a tribute my dear. Good on you
Wow ❤
Those that believe need no evidence.
Holly and Jessica will never be forgotten. ♥️
That's beautiful that both families chose to bury the girls next to each other. I have a 12 year old son and a 9 year old daughter and can't fathom the pain these poor parents are going through. Blessing and prayers to them all. 🕊️
What I find odd though is that they said Jessica was cremated but she is in proper burial plot
@@celtictarotreadings333 burying her urn probably.
She was cremated, they were not buried together
@@tinadeeks6437 you can literally see the pic of their graves together.
Time to put that GPS tracker in their bags?
Makes me so mad he had a history of abuse and ended up working in a school. Remember this case unfolding from Australia. It really shook the world.
Tory Britain for you
Yeah same here. I’m Australian & I totally remember this story unfolding. I remember exactly where I was & what I was doing. It was breaking news that was updated every hour & as soon as they started interviewing neighbours & who the girls knew, especially that worm Ian Huntley, I immediately had him pegged as “The One”.
These cases is almost ALWAYS someone the children know and trust.
How the fuck could a sexual predator, sex offender, women abuser, psychopath, paedophile get a job WORKING WITH CHILDREN
@@whodatninja439 Well he was working at the nearby college. It was his connection with. Maxine that was the link. He used that.
I worked at a large city as a trainer. This was so important at the time the large group of managers in the Social Service department had the three day working group to try to create a Interview and Selection process which was fail proof to reject anyone with a history of of child sexual abuse.
They failed. References could be false or past employers could have no knowledge of the persons past history.
It all fell down to their having a clean police report. The police may have no knowledge. Being asked during
interview if they had any such past. If they say no, that was that. Future employers could be totally unaware that they were recruiting a preditor.
The crimes escalate in time until murder.
So sad.
This is kind England.
I remember this case. Our entire country was heart broken when the girls were found. The loss of two young friends in this way is so profound. My continued support and strength to both family's. Rest peacefully together Holly and Jessica x
That's really beautiful they were buried next to each other. My condolences to their families ❤
All I can think of is what horror these 2 sweet girls endured. Their whole lives ahead of them. My heart goes out to their families.
How sweet of Beckham to give a statement and then dedicate the goal he scored to them. And those sweet boys who left their ⚽️.
Maxine was Holly's favorite teacher, and she dishonored her in every way possible.
RIP Holly and Jessica
It was when they talked about the boys leaving the soccer ball with messages written on it, that I finally lost it and cried. Those poor girls. I will never begin to understand how anyone can kill children.
@@tootsd I'm right there with you! It all tugged on my heart, but those Lil boys giving their soccer ⚽️ with messages they wrote, tugged the heartstrings right out! I'll never understand how people can hurt anyone, especially kids, the most innocent of us all.
@@tootsd read Kevin wells book “goodbye dearest holly” it’s a beautiful tribute to the girls and obviously truthfully told in dairy form from the day the girls went missing. Nothing graphic in it just the story of their disappearance told from the perspective of a father.
Ps she was a classroom assistant. Not a teacher. I’m not nit picking I just don’t think that POS deserves an upgrade on her profession.
@@nala7658 Thank you for the suggestion. It's such a heartbreaking story.
I will never understand how someone can look into the eyes of anyone much less a child and take their life. Truly only a monster can do that...... Rest easy sweet angels.
I understanding how someone can look into the eyes of another and kill them even if it is a child. What I wonder is how can they then go on TV shows and deny it and convince everyone they had no part of it. Ted Bundy for example use to take part in the police search for someone he had killed. People who knew him said he was a gentleman who was sweet and caring. Chris Watts another example. Killed his wife and two kids then went on tv saying he didn't know where they were and just wanted them to come back. There is a video of him getting asked questions by the police. 3 hours he denied it. Even filed a lie dedicator test and still said he didn't do it. For me that is what is most interesting. How do they blank what they have done out?
I agree 💯. Sorry ass soul of anyone who could do this to children.
Sadly it’s a human being not a monster and this is what’s so scary.
EVIL KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES
@@heleneocleary5888 correct but its not scary its just part of life
As someone who's been born and live in soham the dark clouds still haunt us everyday bless them I know hollies parents well bless them I always send my love to them
Your name will ever be tarred like Lockerbie that is why such negligence is devastating -
I was the same age as the girls when they went missing, i am 31 now. It is beyond sad that their ages were stopped in time by those 2 monsters.
I will never forget. The hope that they would be found safe and then the deverstation when the truth came out.
Those poor girls and what they went through !
May the be in eternal peace 💔
To think they would both be 30 years old, have their education, have a career, probably fallen in love, got married and have children of their own. So sad. RIP Holly & Jessica.
I am the same age, born the same year as these girls. It's heartbreaking to think of the life they could have had.
They would both be tories like their parents. So its no loss at all
@@JoJo-yt1ys obvious troll is too obvious 🤣🙄
@@JoJo-yt1ys you’re a pathetic excuse for a human being
@@JoJo-yt1ys learn some coding or some extra skill if you are so bored and have so much time on your hand
Its nice to hear that he is receiving all the prison justice he deserves👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 this is exactly what people like him should face every time.
Yep!👍🏻🌈☮️🇨🇦
@Shendara al Shedir weird selection of flags and symbols to use.
Those all belong to groups and countries who endorse and support the abuse of children.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 Canada endorses child abuse? That’s a new one! Why is that? Genuinely curious.
He got beat up once. Probably not enough justice for me I’m afraid but hollys father put a note in his book that was sent to the prison warden after Huntley got beat up stating he would like his details passed on to which ever inmate “went some way to giving Huntley what he so richly deserved” so he could “buy him a pint (or three)” upon his release
He once tried suing a service provider when he tried a suicide, as a result of aforementioned service not workingthe paramedics couldn't get him out of the prison for medical attention, quite pathetic in my opinion.
People like this want locking in a room with the family members
The way Maxine was holding up that primary school card was sickening. Anyone with children knows how they feel when making cards for someone they care about, therefore to hold it and pretend to care about them is one of the most psychopathic things I’ve ever seen in my life
Agreed. I also find it weird that she said it's something she would treasure forever now. That was before they found their bodies. She already knew.
@@charlisays I wouldn't say she knew at all. I'd say she was terrified of him but I don't think she genuinely knew.
@@shanefolan9175yeah I can’t tell. Idk what to think
@@Jugglingjoemama I don't think she was evil by any means. I think she covered for him because she was terrified of him. I don't think she had bad in her though.
@@shanefolan9175 She referred to the girls in past tense, that tells me she knew what had happened, but I do not think she had anything to do with the murders, she just covered for him out of fear or misguided love.
My wife and I lived in Cambridgeshire some 30 miles from Soham. The memory of these murdered schoolchildren remains with us to this day. The interview that this Beast Huntley gave when he said that he probably was the last to see them before they were reported missing, turned my blood cold. After watching this video, it’s still stomach churning and is something we will never ever forget. God knows how the girls parents would have felt.
God bless Holly and Jessica you will never be forgotten 🙏🏻
I remember that interview...I sensed something wasn't right about that creep
I can imagine mate I really can, especially coming from close to Soham like you do, what I find totally sickening is, how on earth did that horrible bastard Huntley get a job as caretaker of a school for young children, and the fact that the head cop in charge of the case was arrested for having child pornography on his computer, that was just totally unbelievable in my opinion, and listening to Huntley saying that there was still a glimmer of hope and he was probably the last friendly face that the girls saw, knowing that the poor girls were already dead because he killed them himself, totally evil beyond.
😢
So sad, they would ve been 30 yrs old
the scratches on his face proves one or both fought for their life. It's amazing he's still breathing
"He" is apparently now "Lianne". Bless those chameleon-like members of the trans community. Are we now to understand that a "woman" murdered the girls?
He had to chase one of them around the house I see this on another documentary
He’s been attacked a couple of times in prison and tried to top himself too. The guy is detested by the whole country
This story reached to Sri Lanka ,and I read it on paper. This and James Buldger murders really shook my teenage years.
Fly high angels..
As usual nicely put together with so much compassion and hard work. Keep it up TC.x
James Buldger stuck with me. The news went worldwide at the time, wich was a good thing: it taught people that evil really comes in all forms and shapes.
Considering they both happened 9 years apart then it's impossible that they both could have shook your teenage years. As you are only a teen for 7 years.
The strength shown by those amazing parents ….Hollys dad spoke so proudly of his daughter at the funeral.
Holly's dad was a weird looking fuck I had him guilty from day one 😂
Rest in Peace Holly and Jessica. The nation will never forget your bright lights ❤
I’d love to know how seriously Huntley’s past record for sexual abuse, domestic violence and animal abuse were taken. One gets the sickening feeling Holly and Jessica would be alive today if these allegations had been rigorously investigated.
If he would be handled properly it would stop on first victim really...
My thoughts exactly. This evil p.o.s. has his day coming, believe it.
This is the Sixty Five Thousand Dollar Question as they say- it seems we are always reflecting, after the fact, on some POS's life and the 'what ifs'...very sad.
@@cdd4248 *Free, Independent Thought is now 'very sad'?* 🤡
How the hell can the school not check his references ,or do a background check?
I never forgot about these 2 little girls and when we had our daughter in 2006 we decided to call her Holly Jessica in memory of the 2 girls gbnf ❤️
❤❤❤❤
How beautiful ❤️
That’s a beautiful thing to have done ❤️❤️
Same. I was a brand new mummy when this happened. RIP
Thiswas atotal night mare what happened to the horrible lady who gave faust whitness in saying she see the girls getting in a car
I was 17 when this happened and remember it so well. The image of them both smiling in their Man Utd shirts remain etched in my memory. RIP you beautiful girls and God give strength to their families. 😢💔
I still vividly remember this case. I was the same age as Holly and Jessica. Remember hearing it on the news everyday. And thinking “surely they will come home soon”. The day they were found, I was out playing with my friends and we saw all our parents coming towards the park where we were. They said we had to come home immediately. Thought we were all in trouble. My mam sat me down and told me that they had been found. I was initially happy , but then she told me, as best she could, what happened. I still remember the way she hugged me afterwards and begged me to never go anywhere with someone without her permission. ❤ my friends had the same chats with their parents. Reflecting back, it was terrifying for our parents.. to think it wasn’t a stranger, but someone they knew. We all had to be home before dinner every day after that.. no more staying out until dark. RIP Holly and Jessica 💜💜
The boys who left her their soccer ball brought tears to my eyes. Those young men incredible.
the pic in the vid isnt them though
Maxine was just as guilty...writing him love letters after she knew what he had done...She's sick
Bonnie Toups that evil cow spoke about the girls as cool as a cue cumber even though she played a massive part in the killings
I remember this case so well so sad 😢I totally agree she only served 21 months behind bars for her involment of these two young girls who looked up to her. Just like the case of them two boys who killed James Bulger they were given lifelong anonymity to go and live a normal life they don't deserve it they should be locked up for life! Disgusting! None of them should be allowed into society 😡
@@Sarah-jg9uw and one of them keeps reoffending! Sick. I was the same age as James and I remember my parents saying “don’t run off, you don’t want to end up like that kid” which I didn’t understand at the time, obviously I do now. And I don’t blame them because that was just… I have no words
Yes another Myra Hindley
What? She didn't rape, murder and hide the bodies of two little girls. Yes she lied, but you cannot compare that to what he did
Absolutely awrful, even so many years on. RIP Holly and Jessica.
I'm a South African and a loyal Manchester United supporter that's why I remember the 2 ten year old girls that went missing 20 years ago
50:58 they moved out because the reminder of Holly once living in there was too sad to cope with but then they regret it and felt even further from their daughter so 51:07 they moved back, to be able to feel close by being in the rooms that she was once in. Imagine that bleak, cold, loneliness after they moved out and it was so much that they had to move back in again as they felt even more disconnected from their lost daughter and that house was the only thing that made them regain that connection.
That comment tears my heart apart.
I get it my daughter thankfully died in the hospital if she died at home we wouldn’t be till living hear.. we kept her room the same for a very long time it as more kiddies came we had to se the room… it’s been 18years now and knowing this was home to her brings a smile to my face.
It was too painful for them to live in the house. Once some of the pain faded they moved back in.
Devastating 😢
One of my school friends died in a house fire. People couldn't understand why her partner and their baby moved back into the same house where she'd died after it was repaired, but he said it was because it had ten years of happy memories for him of her.
Theirs is one of the few cases that have never left me.. The photo of them in their football shirts is engrained in my memory. Heartbreaking case. I know you will cover it respectfully as always. It's good to have you back, TC!
I totally agree with you!!
I was 15 when this happened and i still think of them poor girls every so often..I remember thinking to mysrlf "imagine those girls last few moments in life and how afraid they must of been"
Huntley and Carr should of been released to the public as a sentence and tortured to death!!
Rip Sarah and Jessica 💗
Same here. This case and the guy who murdered his pregnant wife and their two little girls in Colorado
@@Dontincludeme Chris Watts
Beaumont Children and the two girls stolen from oval in Australia. An 11 yr old and 4 yr old. The man was kidnapping the 4 yr old and the 11 yr old was screaming to let her go. People just thought it was a Dad and let the guy take off with them. Never seen again. So very sad.
@@PandorasBox9330 yeah 🤢
This documentary was the most comprehensive one that I've watched. I learned quite a lot more than I have previously. How sad and awful this was, some people are just pure evil. God bless these families. You did them justice in this programme. Now Subscribed
You should watch emma kennys take on this case, it's nearly 3 hours long. She's very good.
I remember this so well. One detail that sticks in my mind is that the weather was so bad for the two weeks they were missing the bodies were in a very advanced start of decomposition because of the rain.
I remember that too. I grew up around that part of the country and knowing people who lived in Soham I followed it closely as most of the country did. I remember the weather being one of the most horrible things during the days before they were found and thinking how awful it was that they might be out there all alone in the cold and wet.
To me, the first flag was how he insisted his media appearances stay "local". I think any normal person would insist the opposite - shout it to the moon for everyone to be on alert and look for them! His girlfriend went above and beyond helping him to conceal the crime - from cleaning the evidence, to sickening deception of public with showing the letter poor girl wrote to her. She is just as deserving of contempt. I didn't know about this case; it really made me cry. They were just two little girls in a place where they should have been safe. Things like this make this world darker for all of us.
The lying bitch of a wife needs to be found and beat. Pitifully short sentence for assisting 2 sexual murders
She pissed me off the most because those girls adored her- that lil note when she didnt get the job...the cutest. Then she turns around and hides that her man kills them? Girl- PRISON!
0q0p0000000q
She is out & free now under new identity. Bitch should be locked up forever.
all about control for him. i
It's been 20yrs since this happened, it broke my heart then, & it breaks my heart even more today as I now have girls of my own, the youngest is 10.
This is every parents worst nightmare. The story needs to be told to honor their memory, also to let their families know Holly & Jessica will NEVER be forgotten. RIP. ❤️❤️
I was 13 years old that time I remeber it like yeatersy
everyone will be forgotten, sorry
@@howdareyouexist Not true. I drive a lot for my job around the UK. I see ‘Turners of Soham’ lorries frequently on the roads and they only remind me of one thing.
Hollys father wrote a book “goodbye dearest holly. It details the wells family struggle in diary form from when the girls went missing to when justice was finally done at the old Bailey. It’s very well written I’d highly recommend you read it if you want to know the family’s story and the legal hoops they had to jump through regardless of being the victims in this.
@@howdareyouexist Not necessarily. Unfortunate situations like this tend to be remembered for a LONG time. Even now, 20 years later, whenever I hear the name 'Soham' my mind pictures those 2 girls in their red football strips.
I’ll never forget these girls. I was heavily pregnant with my daughter who was born 2 weeks after this tragedy and I remember spending every single day hoping and waiting for these girls to be found safe. How on earth has 21 years just gone by already? The saddest and most horrific crime that every single person felt so intensely. RIP Holly and Jessica- forever you will be 10 years old 😢🙏🏻
This dude was loving all the attention he was getting from those interviews. It seemed like he was staying close to the reporters and case to keep his finger on the pulse of the investigation. Absolutely diabolical.
Your narration, the compassion in your voice, the calming comfort of a familiar tone, all help to easy the devastating human experience we are witnessing. As an old Grams, I just wanted to tell you this, as I've been a subscriber for a year now, but haven't commented. So, I guess that's what I'm doing now, thanking you for your compassion and empathy shown here. I appreciate it greatly!
I’m glad that this has been covered on YT. I’m pleased to hear that Huntley lives his life looking over his shoulder.
I remember learning about this at school in year 9. That interview still makes me terrified that some of the worst people in the world are hiding in plain sight.
it’s fucking sickening that we cant trust ANYONE
I was the same age as Holly and Jessica when they went missing. I remember this case so well, even now 21 years later. I still wonder what Holly and Jessica would be doing if they had been allowed to grow up.
I remember this well as I had a 5 year old girl. Today she is in her last year of studying for a Professional Nurse. I realized at that time how sick the world was. My condolences to the families and may they rest in peace, love from Cape Town.
The image of 2 young boys at the sight where flowers were left, kneeling down, with hands clasped, & heads bowed in prayer, brought me to tears. It's sweet to see young people display empathy & pay respect in such a lovely way. 37:00
He was so convincing on those interviews very scary how good people can lie.
Rip Holly and Jessica ❤
That monster's body language at his first interview convinced me he was the killer. I am to this day suspicious of MCarr. I think she knows a lot more than what she confessed. She delayed the process by being an alibi and thanks be to the Lord God that those bins were not taken away for recycling. It was a clever move on the senior Police officer to instruct another search on the school.
Those are the characteristics of a sociopath. Narcissist liar!
poor lovely girls RIP bless your parents sending heavenly hugs to you both
I cannot believe it's been twenty years RIP girls 😢 and as for them two I still have no words twenty years on.God bless you both Holly and Jessica never forgotten by so many of us around the world 🌹
I'm the same age as these girls and this is the first case that made me aware that these things do really happen and weren't just scary stories. This changed life for alot of people in 2002. Made everything so real and when it was discovered it was their school care taker it really shook people.
You just have lived a very sheltered life lucky you. Most of us know from first hand experience. Many I knew n myself included endured such things but nothing is made known to the public. For example a girl was snatched from my primary school when I was little. I can’t find anything on it anywhere it was like the child didn’t exist or matter anymore. I was almost also snatched by the same man I saw took her. Nothing everyone blamed me for speaking to the man when actually I was protecting myself n delaying him from taking me until a teacher helped me. I knew I couldn’t outrun a grown man. I can go on about other similar experiences. I been through my own abuse too at hands of family members. But when they attacked a little girl outside of home suddenly that mother n police cared. But no one cared about my abuse nor what I endured. Not even in adulthood. I’m actually lucky to be alive today,
I dont think he was their caretaker.i thought he was a caretaker at the college?
@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 So sorry you had to go through that. You are a survivor. Be proud of yourself for surviving that, not many do. Keep getting stronger and help others in need. All the very best!
@@healingandgrowth-infp4677 May God heal u,the end is near but ur abusers for them the countdown had started before the highest n most powerful judge .....God the Al ignty
Unfortunately there is a lot of sick bastards out there, if we had proper punishments for people that hurt or murder children it would stop, I'd personally have him hung drawn and quartered.
No child deserves what the beautiful girls went through :(
I remember living in London when this happened and now back in Australia 🇦🇺
I think this is the most tragic case I’ve heard in all those years.. 😢
Two shining stars 🌟🌟 stolen !
Rip beauty go girls 💛💛
The thing with maxine referring to the girls in past tense is that the journalist did too - the interview starts off, with him asking, "what WERE they like?" And maxine forms her answer.
Im just saying that it is actually quite common to refer to people in the past tense because every memory we have of them is in the past.
So although i do think some killers slip up and refer to victimd in a more obvious context sometimes, i also know that past tense is used commonly to describe... well, events in the past.
"She WAS nice," can just as easily mean that someone is dipping into memories from the past to form an opinion and statement about that person, as it could mean "i know that person is gone and never coming back."
Imo past tense speech can be a red flag but i really dont think its this smoking gun that many seem to think.
I agree. I’m not making any excuses for Maxine of course, she obviously knew more than she admitted. But I’ve heard several stories where someone referring to a missing person in the past tense is used as a red flag. I agree that this is not necessarily so. It’s all in how the question is framed.
Past tense is tricky.
Totally agree.
I completely agree.
There's a lot of pseudopsychology around true crime communities, you can't really escape it. I think because online crime communities can get much more in depth, you can't get away with "I've got a hunch" as easy as you can in a casual chat down the pub, so people come up with essentially superstitions they try and make sound like, as you say, smoking guns. Most killers who aren't crimes of opportunity offenders are largely going to be manipulative people also, so you can't really always read into their words too deeply.
Beautifully narrated. The murders occurred a month after the death of my mother, and added to the grief for all three deaths was overwhelming.
Sorry for the loss of your dear mum ...your in my sabbath sunday thoughts ...god bless 🌻🌷🌻
Good lord. Get a grip please
I’m sorry for your loss ❤❤
Oh dear. Sorry for your loss. I lost mine last year and she was just 44😢
I don’t know how people like Huntley can stay so calm when being interviewed after such horrendous events
He is a sociopath
Well done, there were a few new things I learned that I hadn't heard before. My daughter was born just two days before Holly and Jessica went missing, so during night feeds I followed this case closely. Thank you for all your hard work in making this video. Greetings from Hampshire x
I really didn't want to watch this. In the end I felt I had to. These two girls must never be forgotten.
get a tatoo of them both in the red football shirts on your leg!
same here
Yet again , a brilliant piece by Truly Criminal. Outstanding, respectful and a real amazing watch. Thank you for highlighting the true facts and showing such respect to the families involved.
Yes I agree ..I see many of these crime youtube channels sort of come off as disrespectful ..some try to keep it light hearted and add comedy but I always feel like the families of the victims take it as disrespect and it also rubs me the wrong way knowing they make money off of these stories...but I really like this channel very professional, tastefully done and respectful.
Well said
Glad to hear Huntley is getting jail justice. Long may he suffer
Wonderful poem by father of Holly. Beautiful!
Precious babies might be gone but they are not forgotten and are still loved. RIP Holly and Jessica ❤
I remember this happening so clearly, and even though i was a child myself at the time, the moment huntley started talking i instinctively knew he did it. it still gives me chills thinking about it, and it taught me to always trust my gut. you did an excellent job with this case, as you do with every case you cover.
same… i was 13… i remember just watching him n thinking hes a weirdo…
Gut-instincts are far from scientific thus are unreliable, I particularly hate the phrase 'Woman's Intuition', no such thing, they just make wild assumptions based on their fear of any man who looks different, ie less than attractive.
@@liverbirdxoxo1984 Only ignorant bimbos use phrases like 'weirdo' and 'creepy', as their worldview is dictated to them by Puppet-Masters of pop-culture, ie watch movies made especially for children, they portray good looking attractive people as being morally upright, whilst conveying unattractive people as being evil, which is a very simplistic world view. A detailed research of the police database will reveal that majority of nonces are men who are either married, or have a girlfriend; yet it is men who are single and unattractive that mainstream society makes negative assumptions about.
BINGO- i knew it was him aswell-
@@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook You sent your comment to the wrong person, BING😂
The absolutely audacity of him telling that rubbish about one of the girls having a nose bleed and him “accidentally slipping on the water from bathing his dog and then one of the girls drowned”…I just can’t even begin to fathom. He enjoyed all of the attention he got from doing interview after interview. He smirked and smiled into the camera, lying his ass off.
Doopers delight... despicable
Just as well he was stupid and vain enough to put his name and face out there to everyone in the news industry; his own conceit got him done.
He did. He was loving all the media attention the sick b#*tard. Thankfully it was his own interviews that got him caught.
I agree
He sexually assaulted them and sadly one must have had to witness the other being murdered 1st
Thats why he burned them
Absolutely heartbreaking
she fell in and couldn't get out. the shock of falling made her pass out. and when ian came to check on her it was too late, then holly screamed and he said "it is ok! don't look!" and he tried to cover her mouth and eyes with a tea towel, while he frantically looked for the phone to call ambulance but he held it on her too long and then he panicked and lied as it was two accidents.
Thank you for such a thorough and sensitive account. You did a great job with such a very difficult and emotive event, that none of us will ever forget.
At the time, that the girls were reported missing, my daughter was 10 at the time her birthday was 6 days after Jessica’s birthday. I heard about the girls being found I. The radio both my daughter & myself were on holiday in Bournemouth. I remember feeling so sad for these girls and their families and even more protective of my own daughter. 😢😢.incredible video, so sensitively put together. ❤❤
“Jessica doesn’t like the dark” 💔 every parents worst nightmare
Absolutely unfathomable
Mia, Alice - this is an exceptional video. The story is very well told & the maps, the media footage, the police interviews are all there too.
Not just your best video to date, but one of the best true crime films I’ve ever watched (and I’ve seen a few!).
RIP Holly and Jessica.
That means so much to us, thank you 🖤
Agreed. This feature should be televised world wide as a documentary. Honestly one of the most impactful features of its kind I have ever seen. It's a great body of work and should be used to show just how easily predators can not only orchestrate such crimes but also how families can be devastated through these crimes. A sensitive, accurate and masterful crime feature. Well done! RIP girls and thoughts for both families.
Very thorough- I’ve never seen his interview where he doesn’t want it to go national. Excellent job as ever.
Love Truly Criminal! Stories are respectful. I love that you have kept a calm, monotone speaking voice. Also, not having unnecessary dramatic overtones in the show. A USA fan.
This crime truly upset me at the time. It shook me to my core here in South Africa. I was a young twentysomething back then and I remember holding out hope and praying each night they would still be found alive. When their bodies were found I broke down in tears. With the 24 hour news coverage and the way the media ravaged this terrible tragedy , it had the effect of making me feel like these young girls were family members, like they were my sisters, because they were in my workplace and house all day and night long. This particular crime story will never leave me. It still haunts me to this day.
I generally feel that people in prison must have their human rights protected. But not child sex offenders and child murderers. It gave me great satisfaction to hear that he's being assaulted in prison over and over again, and I'm sure we're not hearing all of it.
It sounds like you're a lot more like Ian Huntley than you realise.
@@georgeskiriakis4931 How's that...?
Along with the rest of the country I was upset with this case at the time. The other day Huntleys name cropped up on a short video clip ,in it a former prison medic mentioned prisoners crapping in food earmarked for him and he was laughing.However you're not going to like what I'm going to write next. I was on holiday in Thailand in 2009. I've old schoolfriends that live there. They're in the military but have Thai wives. We were in a bar in Sattahip, talking with some American servicemen.One of them brought up Huntleys name, and I instinctively said (something like) 'oh, the Soham murders'. I was quickly corrected by one who added. 'No those two girls were killed near raf Lakenheath, Sohams about 15 clicks (km) away'. I sat down to hear him say the killer was one of their own,told me his name,rank and that it was common knowledge in the US forces.He was the main suspect in a case of a young girl killed in Okinawa,Japan where he was previously based.In fact there's been huge protests over there regarding that and for the US forces to leave. Them and Japanese police couldn't find enough evidence on him and he was relocated to England. I asked why if they knew who is was,why not nick him? He said when the girls were killed there'd been 'don't attack Iraq' protests in UK with 3million in total taking to the streets and if it came to light it'd been one of theirs that had done that public opinion against helping the US would take a massive hit. What about evidence on him? I asked. 'There was none, apart from a piece of an XL man utd jersey, get this,placed in the bin outside the front door of the school where he worked, he's another (Lee Harvey) Oswald, a f#*#in patsy,plus his 'confession' came after he'd been held in psych ward for a week,where they could have put any sort of mind altering meds in his food'. It'll come out ,the truth,long after Huntley gets murdered. Now our governments lied to us over countless things over the years, and just because 'what happened' in this case was on the news most people believe it.But given what he's meant to have done nobody's gonna stand up for Huntley ,are they?
@@kevindurand3237 personally I don’t believe you, but what was the unnamed motive for this man to kill Holly and Jessica?
@@kevindurand3237 That is completely ridiculous.
I remember this case. I was 7 at the time they were announced missing. Seeing their hometown on a map gives me the shivers because it's literally an hour and a half drive away from my home town. They seem like two girls I would get along with and be good friends with aswell.
Can't believe it's been 20years. That's incredibly sad, they had their whole lives to live. They would probably be on the woman's football team together or something sporty. I hope they're forever playing football together in heaven. R. I. P Holly and Jessica.
You’re so dramatic. An hour and a half away in England may aswell be the other side of the country.
It’s not close to you. Can’t believe you managed to shoe horn yourself into this situation
“Literally shivered when I saw the map because I live an hour and a half away” 🤡 🤡 🤡
My baby sis soph was just 8 yrs old shes now 28 a mum to two beautiful...children lexi and codie my nephew and neice i adore them ...all so sad bout holly and jessica rip girls 🦄🌼🦄🌻🦄🌻🦄🌼🦄
I recently moved to Cambridgeshire & the sign for Soham still turns my blood cold.
These 'people' are local to me. I remember being the same age as these poor girls when it happened and my mum, holding me and my sister close she was sobbing in grief.
I'm a parent myself now and my heart still breaks for this entire situation. When are police going to take sex offenders seriously.
Protect our children!!!!
You've told this story in an entirely different and still heartbreaking way. Thanks for showing love for these girls ❤ may they rest in peace and may the monster who did this never feel peace again
Can't believe it's 20 years. They'd be 30 now perhaps with children of there own, a whole world and lifetime ahead of them. I cried when they found their wee bodies and I've cried watching this too. God Bless you both, Holly and Jessica, I hope you are having fun up there and are playing loads of football. The UK and the world will always remember you both. Forever 10 ❤❤
If you want to watch a doc about this case, its called 5 mistakes that caught a killer, and they have different people who work with like body language etc, and one of the people pointed out he said 'i was probably the last person to see them' but how does he know that well obvs he does but say for example he didnt kill them how is he to know he was the last person to see them? and also Maxine she used the girls in past tense too
Poor Jessica and Holly, I can’t believe it’s 20 years. Very very sad. If Ian has any empathy he will say what happened. This was a well narrated documentary.
I lived local at the time. I remember family members taking part in the search. When they were found my mum took me to the church to see all the flowers and sign the book of condolences. Something I'll never forget, it was so sad.
2 hours away is local?
How horrible. I was in Wales visiting when they were abducted, I am native American, my dad was a Welsh immigrant. A few relatives while there went down to help for 2 days, and we joined. We called our family on the Rez and they did sage blessings for a few hours. I need to say though, that I love your people and your country. Our way of life calls to Diné (ours, or we see you), due to this I realized my Diné remains that land also. Thank you for being so beautiful.
I remember this so clearly and send love and prayers to the families as we remember Jessica and Holly, It is good to learn about the parents and their lives following the loss of their darling daughters, thank you for this sensitive report
I've seen this this story covered before....but the way you've told it, and the pictures and videos you provide, just like in all the other stories you cover, are the absolute best. Thank you for respectfully covering these horrific cases 🩵
I don’t think any of us in England will ever forget this tragic story. 😞
True, I'm crying watching this 20 years later it never leaves you. RIP Holly and Jessica 🙏❤️
Never 💯
*United Kingdom.
Or anywhere
@@leeriches8841 Please don't feel compelled to dismiss England when it is mentioned. The girls were English and they sadly died in England. .You could have said "I think everyone in Scotland, Wales and NI will remember as well!" but you just put *United Kingdom - like a teacher correcting a pupils error. Don't say the 'E' word as it upsets the lesser insecure Celtic countries of the UK....
Bet my life you're a Jock lol.
Thank for always being respectful during these cases and remembering the victims.
It's hard to believe it's been so long since this happened. I was 10 at the time and had just moved across the country to a place where we knew nobody. Suffice to say, my parents were paranoid and it rubbed off. I remember sitting in front of the telly before school to watch the news just to see if they had been found. Now that I'm a parent myself, I understand how terrifying this is and how easily it could happen.
I was 10 at the time too, and it's haunting knowing they were the same age as us at the time ❤
I know all this is horrific. I am a mother myself. But these things do not "easily happen". The mathematical likelihood of something like this happening to you is nearly zilch. Thing is.... once it does happen, it's devastating to everyone involved.
Thank you! You have shared a tragic and heartbreaking case about dear Holly and Jessica sensitively and thoroughly.
RIP girls Holly and Jessica ❤

Only Jesus Christ blood can cleanse us of are sins come to Jesus Christ today
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come to Jesus Christ today

The Holy Spirit can lead you guide and confort you through it all
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
Should have been a major Red Flag to everyone the moment he said that he only wanted the interview to go local and not national. Didn't that scream loud and clear "hey l have a dark past and don't want it to catch up with me".
As for his experiences in prison - never dish out what you can't take back.
Scott Newton
That jumped out at me, too!
20 years on 😢😢😢 could never forget that picture of them in the football shirts rip Angels
I still well up when I see that photo. I remember being at my nans eating dinner when their faces came up on the news and the whole table went quiet with the realisation of what had happened.
I can remember seeing their faces on tv and just feeling numb when they were sadly discovered. May they both rest in peace, beautiful, sweet angels.
the interviewer also referred to them in the past tense when he asked the question (17:13). "you KNEW the girls well, didn't you? what WERE they like?"
I remember this tragedy very well as i was working delivering in the Soham area at the time. It gripped everyone, i was looking out for anything red. I remember after they was found i drove into Soham to buy flowers for them. As i drove in i saw grown men walking away crying their eyes out and i mean tough looking men. I found a florist, bought some flowers, i was offered the £15 change but i said put it in the collection. As i drove out past the church which was a sea of flowers i asked an elderly couple if they could put my flowers with the rest which they did. It was a terrible crime that will be remembered by myself and many others. RIP Holly & Jessica.
You did a great job covering this and remembering the girls. Rest in peace Holly and Jessica ❤️
I’m 20 minutes in and this is by far the most in depth content I’ve ever seen on this case, online or on TV. Thank you very much for the upload!
Thank you so much 🖤
I remember it so clearly. Holly Wells dad read out a lovely poem he’d written for his daughter
20 years and yet it only feels like yesterday that I cried for those little lost girls and thought of their families and friends thru the years but I can't believe it's been that long ...they will never be forgotten
I’m from the UK and was 9 when this happened so similar age to the girls. I can still remember this being in the news so clearly. It saddens me to think of all the experiences I have had since then that they will never have. RIP beautiful girls.
habbo was fairly new and i remember everyone would dress as them on it with the red football top
It can be surreal when we realize life moves on while certain ppl who have inpacted our world remain frozen in a time long since past. I go throught this as well with having lost my two brothers.
im from the UK too i was only about 5, if you want to watch a doc about this case, its called 5 mistakes that caught a killer on channel 5, and they have different people who work with like body language etc, and one of the people pointed out he said 'i was probably the last person to see them' but how does he know that well obvs he does but say for example he didnt kill them how is he to know he was the last person to see them? and also Maxine she used the girls in past tense too
Still so raw and emotional, 20 years on is absolutely mind boggling! I now have two daughters so it rings home even more than it did when I was 8, amazing narration and told the story so effectively however sad it’s made me! Thoughts with their families.
Same. It was a shock as a young lad when it happened, but it hits far harder now I’ve got a couple of girls myself. Gut wrenching.
Respect to you so we’ll put together providing those two angels the memory they so much deserve.
I remember this as it happened, I was about 8 at the time I remember my mum crying while watching all the news reports. Now that I have a child of my own I can understand why 😪
Rest in peace Holly and Jessica I always think of you when I have to drive through Soham never forgotten by the nation and wider world
watching this account 20 years later is as raw as the time it happened 😢
I was 11 when this happened and remember it so vividly. I saw so many similarities between myself and the girls at the time that I couldn't help feel so personally affected. I'm so glad that background checks are more thorough these days in education (a sector I now work in). Parents send their children to school presuming it is 100% safe. Their grief must have been unbearable and I hope time has eased their pain (even though it will never go away). Holly and Jessica will never be forgotten, always loved deeply ❤️
This case still makes my blood boil. Very haunting. That last image of the angels is deeply imprinted in so many of our brains. Maxine was just as guilty I can’t believe she’s walking the streets. Fly high ❤❤
we also will never know what they went through in their last moments. ian will never spill the information and they were so badly burnt that his DNA wouldnt be detected in or on them
Maxine carr is free and out there. She has got married and had a child and living an easy life. Absolutely disgusting that those jurors let her off with it.
@@PainElemental Holly fell into his bath tub and instantaneously drowned and when Jessica screamed he covered her mouth and she instantaneously suffocated. So that's what happened... mystery over!
unfortunately, women don't get the same punishments men do. they both played a part and neither of them should have seen freedom again.
Had me in tears watching this can't believe it was over 20 years ago.
REST IN PEACE Holly Wells, Jessica Chapman, Sarah Payne, Millie Dowler, Olivia Pratt- Korbel and all those other innocent children who were brutally murdered!
