Overview
- Netflix added the two-part documentary on February 23, bringing the 2023 Channel 5 programme to a wider audience.
- The series focuses on Scottish serial killer Robert Black, who abducted and murdered four girls in the 1980s while employed as a delivery driver.
- Testimony explains how his long-haul routes enabled cross-border offences that hindered coordination across police forces for years.
- Black was arrested in 1990 after a witness foiled an abduction in Stow, then convicted in 1994 of three murders and in 2011 of Jennifer Cardy’s 1981 killing.
- He died in 2016 in Maghaberry Prison, with Devon and Cornwall Police later stating they were weeks from charging him over Genette Tate’s 1978 disappearance.
