Their Killer Was Unmasked 30 Years Too Late. | The Saturday Night Strangler

This is the first case to use familial DNA tracing to posthumously identify a serial killer.
Joseph Kappen was a bouncer and driver in Port Talbot as well as a petty crook with a violent temper. In September 1973, he picked up two 16-year-old girls - Pauline Floyd and Geraldine Hughes - hitchhiking their way home after a night out. Kappen sexually assaulted and strangled both of them, before dumping their bodies in a wooded area in Llandarcy, near Neath, South Wales. The police investigation at the time failed to find the killer.

Unless you’re hiking in a department store, it is literally NEVER a mannequin.

😂😂😂

[@micheleshively8557]

Jiles from channel This is Monsters sells a Tshirt saying It's never a mannequin 😮

[@jacquelyncostello5818]

😂😅

[@pattybarnett4910]

Never in the history of crime reporting, has it ever been a mannequin 😅

[@kimberlyfrey8740]

THANK YOU!!! I thought i was the only person who thought “yea because there are just mannequins laying around rural areas and floating in bodies of water”

[@ChristinaMoller-st2bv]

I love the officers closing words - there is no closure. No matter what kind of justice happens, the pain of the attack stays with the victim forever. So true, and often overlooked.

[@kdallas3966]

This is NEVER a one time thing for killers. Killing becomes an addiction to them. I wanna know how many others he did this to that were not found. Because he got away with it.

[@cindybednar6997]

Especially since he lived 17 yrs after the girls killing.

[@sharrielee911]

This was just awful and horrific way for them to die..my condolences to their families😢rest in paradise angels😇🙏🏽😇🌹🌹

[@susanwilliams4953]

Pure evil. May the women rest peacefully 🕊.

[@theresarasche3173]

I like this series!

[@lisablack9634]

Excellent series!!!!!

[@bimbette4892]

Dude was evil okay, but how can they be certain he would continue to offend if he went 17 years without offending? Golden State and BTK both stopped for years.

[@Joanla1954]

It's never 30 years too late for God.
