A former police officer who worked on the case of Stephanie Slater's kidnap has given the reason he thinks killer Michael Sams let Stephanie go despite murdering Leeds teen Julie Dart.
But the officer's explanation about the killing of Julie, 18, was dubbed 'victim blaming' by a viewer of the second part of Channel 5's documentary The Girl In The Box: The Kidnapping of Stephanie Slater on Wednesday night.
During the second part of the documentary, viewers heard how kidnapped Stephanie had possibly saved her own life due to the strategy she adopted with her kidnapper.
