The real story behind Steeltown Murders and the Saturday Night Strangler behind them

It was 1973 when the bodies of 16-year-old Pauline Floyd and Geraldine Hughes were discovered in woodland sparking a major police investigation that saw hundreds of people being questioned.

The friends, who worked together in a factory, had gone missing as they hitched a lift home from a night out at the the Top Rank nightclub in Swansea. They never made it home.
