The Morgue Monster: David Fuller's Nightmare Crimes
About this episode
In this deeply disturbing episode, we’re digging into the twisted double life of David Fuller—a seemingly friendly hospital maintenance worker who was hiding some of the darkest secrets imaginable.
In 1987, the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce rocked the quiet town of Tunbridge Wells. For decades, the case went cold—until a DNA breakthrough in 2020 pointed to one man. But what police found after his arrest would shock the nation.
Fuller didn’t just kill. He used his job at two NHS hospitals to secretly access the morgue and sexually abuse the bodies of over 100 women and girls, ranging in age from 9 to 100.
He kept detailed records. He filmed himself. And he went unnoticed for over 30 years.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
🔹 The unsolved Bedsit Murders
🔹 The DNA match that cracked the case
🔹 The horrifying mortuary abuse
🔹 His rare whole-life sentence
🔹 The NHS inquiry—and whether this could happen again
⚠️ Warning: This episode contains graphic content, including discussions of sexual violence and necrophilia. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
