Description
Records the tragic circumstances surrounding Robert Napper's crimes, from his initial assaults to the murders of Rachel Nickell and Samantha Bisset. In this account, Alan Jackaman recounts his role in bringing Napper to justice, including his time as an investigator on the Bisset case and its eventual connection to London's Green Chain Walk rapes. The book delves into the complexities of serial murder investigations, highlighting the challenges posed by dwindling resources and media fascination with serious crimes. It also explores the mind of Robert Napper, examining his family history, bizarre behaviour, and 'doodlings' that provide insight into his psyche. This is a straightforward account of the solving of heinous and complex crimes, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes story of how Napper was able to evade justice for 15 years. The book contains previously unpublished material and offers a unique perspective on the emergence of criminal profiling and the impact of media obsession on investigations.
