175. The Cannock Chase Murders

 ****Content Warning****

Cannock Chase is 26 square miles of deciduous and coniferous woodland, open heathland, and small lakes in the West Midlands of England.  It's a popular place to go hiking and mountain biking. As beautiful as Cannock Chase is, it has a bit of a dark past.

In the 1960s, children in the area were abducted, assaulted, and murdered; their bodies were discovered later in the dense foliage of Cannock Chase.  A human monster was on the loose.
