Fred & Rose West: The House of Horrors in Gloucester

What this episode covers

Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, and this week on Pushing Up Lilies, we’re heading across the pond to the UK to explore one of the most disturbing serial killer cases in British history, Fred and Rose West, the infamous husband-and-wife duo responsible for a string of brutal murders spanning decades. Together, they lured vulnerable young women, some of them their own children or tenants, into their Gloucester home, where many were abused, tortured, and murdered, then buried beneath the floors and garden. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how this twisted pair got away with their crimes for so long, the shocking discoveries made at 25 Cromwell Street, and how justice finally caught up with them. This one is dark and difficult, but it’s a case that shocked a nation and changed the way investigators approach crimes within families. Join me as we step inside the House of Horrors and uncover the horrifying legacy of Fred and Rose West. * Listener discretion is advised.
