  • Soham, Cambridgeshire, England. A warm summers evening in August, 2002.
    Two 10 year old girls are reported missing after leaving their house to go and buy sweets. They knew the area well, everyone knew them and given their conscientious nature, suddenly going missing, was more than just out of character...

    I can’t believe it’s been twenty years. The names Huntley and carr are still spit out with absolute disdain here in Britain and those two precious girls have not been forgotten, the memory for most of us hasn’t faded even a little. God bless Holly and Jessica 🙏🏻

      Romans 6.23
      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    I will never be able to forget about these two beautiful girls, you see on the 5th of Aug 2002 I gave birth to my twin girls whom I named Jessie and Hollie. When I was released from hospital two days later i remember watching the news about their disappearance and I couldn’t believe that I had given my baby girls the same names. I know it’s nothing more than just an amazing coincidence. I did consider changing their names as they hadn’t been legally registered at that point and I didn’t want people to think that I had called them after Jessica and holly, but decided against it. Some people have told me that it was so much more than just a coincidence and maybe it was. I had chosen their names as soon as I was told I was carrying twins. My heart still hurts for Holly and Jessica’s parents. I hope this monster is never released from prison.

      I understanding how someone can look into the eyes of another and kill them even if it is a child. What I wonder is how can they then go on TV shows and deny it and convince everyone they had no part of it. Ted Bundy for example use to take part in the police search for someone he had killed. People who knew him said he was a gentleman who was sweet and caring. Chris Watts another example. Killed his wife and two kids then went on tv saying he didn't know where they were and just wanted them to come back. There is a video of him getting asked questions by the police. 3 hours he denied it. Even filed a lie dedicator test and still said he didn't do it. For me that is what is most interesting. How do they blank what they have done out?

    50:58 they moved out because the reminder of Holly once living in there was too sad to cope with but then they regret it and felt even further from their daughter so 51:07 they moved back, to be able to feel close by being in the rooms that she was once in. Imagine that bleak, cold, loneliness after they moved out and it was so much that they had to move back in again as they felt even more disconnected from their lost daughter and that house was the only thing that made them regain that connection.

    I still vividly remember this case. I was the same age as Holly and Jessica. Remember hearing it on the news everyday. And thinking “surely they will come home soon”. The day they were found, I was out playing with my friends and we saw all our parents coming towards the park where we were. They said we had to come home immediately. Thought we were all in trouble. My mam sat me down and told me that they had been found. I was initially happy , but then she told me, as best she could, what happened. I still remember the way she hugged me afterwards and begged me to never go anywhere with someone without her permission. ❤ my friends had the same chats with their parents. Reflecting back, it was terrifying for our parents.. to think it wasn’t a stranger, but someone they knew. We all had to be home before dinner every day after that.. no more staying out until dark. RIP Holly and Jessica 💜💜

    My wife and I lived in Cambridgeshire some 30 miles from Soham. The memory of these murdered schoolchildren remains with us to this day. The interview that this Beast Huntley gave when he said that he probably was the last to see them before they were reported missing, turned my blood cold. After watching this video, it’s still stomach churning and is something we will never ever forget. God knows how the girls parents would have felt.

His girlfriend went above and beyond helping him to conceal the crime - from cleaning the evidence, to sickening deception of public with showing the letter poor girl wrote to her. She is just as deserving of contempt. I didn't know about this case; it really made me cry. They were just two little girls in a place where they should have been safe.

      You just have lived a very sheltered life lucky you. Most of us know from first hand experience. Many I knew n myself included endured such things but nothing is made known to the public. For example a girl was snatched from my primary school when I was little. I can’t find anything on it anywhere it was like the child didn’t exist or matter anymore. I was almost also snatched by the same man I saw took her. Nothing everyone blamed me for speaking to the man when actually I was protecting myself n delaying him from taking me until a teacher helped me. I knew I couldn’t outrun a grown man. I can go on about other similar experiences. I been through my own abuse too at hands of family members. But when they attacked a little girl outside of home suddenly that mother n police cared. But no one cared about my abuse nor what I endured. Not even in adulthood. I’m actually lucky to be alive today,

    How horrible. I was in Wales visiting when they were abducted, I am native American, my dad was a Welsh immigrant. A few relatives while there went down to help for 2 days, and we joined. We called our family on the Rez and they did sage blessings for a few hours. I need to say though, that I love your people and your country. Our way of life calls to Diné (ours, or we see you), due to this I realized my Diné remains that land also. Thank you for being so beautiful.

    It's hard to believe it's been so long since this happened. I was 10 at the time and had just moved across the country to a place where we knew nobody. Suffice to say, my parents were paranoid and it rubbed off. I remember sitting in front of the telly before school to watch the news just to see if they had been found. Now that I'm a parent myself, I understand how terrifying this is and how easily it could happen.

I remember after they was found i drove into Soham to buy flowers for them. As i drove in i saw grown men walking away crying their eyes out and i mean tough looking men. I found a florist, bought some flowers, i was offered the £15 change but i said put it in the collection. As i drove out past the church which was a sea of flowers i asked an elderly couple if they could put my flowers with the rest which they did. It was a terrible crime that will be remembered by myself and many others. RIP Holly & Jessica.

    The thing with maxine referring to the girls in past tense is that the journalist did too - the interview starts off, with him asking, "what WERE they like?" And maxine forms her answer.
    Im just saying that it is actually quite common to refer to people in the past tense because every memory we have of them is in the past.
    So although i do think some killers slip up and refer to victimd in a more obvious context sometimes, i also know that past tense is used commonly to describe... well, events in the past.
    "She WAS nice," can just as easily mean that someone is dipping into memories from the past to form an opinion and statement about that person, as it could mean "i know that person is gone and never coming back."
    Imo past tense speech can be a red flag but i really dont think its this smoking gun that many seem to think.

      There's a lot of pseudopsychology around true crime communities, you can't really escape it. I think because online crime communities can get much more in depth, you can't get away with "I've got a hunch" as easy as you can in a casual chat down the pub, so people come up with essentially superstitions they try and make sound like, as you say, smoking guns. Most killers who aren't crimes of opportunity offenders are largely going to be manipulative people also, so you can't really always read into their words too deeply.
