Holy moly that was intense. As a connoisseur of true crime, I’m surprised I’ve not heard this. I think I’m a wonky age for when all of this came out so I’ve just missed it.
Spoilers
how hasn’t he been found? I don’t understand this. Also, is this the first time Netflix has detailed an unsolved recent case? The web sleuths are going to be chomping at the bit with this one - he’ll definitely be found by citizen detectives.
Wow that’s an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.This article picks up where the show leaves off so don’t click until you’ve finished the series or don’t mind knowing. I came across it in the actual newspaper on the weekend but I’m still going to watch the show
Doesn’t look like they’re discussing it yet https://www.websleuths.com/forums/forums/united-kingdom.344/Oh my god I know! I was Googling all about it after I finished it. I can’t believe he got off on a technicality. I vaguely remember hearing about a bloke who pretended he was M15 but I must have only been around 14 back in 2005. I have to say I was impressed with Sarah’s dad pulling all that information together! I can’t imagine how her (or any of the other parents) felt knowing their children were under his influence. I have 2 daughters myself so it hit home. Sandras children too, such a sad story. I tried looking on Reddit but I have no idea how to use it, web sleuths hang around on there don’t they?
Agree with the length. Cecil hotel was too long at four episodes and included way too much hypothesis.There’s a film in post production about him starring James Norton
I feel so desperately sad for the Clifton family.
Now that the Kennel Club / Crufts networks will have shunned Robert & Sandra and his name is out there again - what happens next? Will he try moving countries again? Its such a fraught time for the children. Sandra is possibly in more danger right now than ever. So sad to think the grandparents home could be lost too.
Side note: three episodes was perfect for this story. Netflix have spun series out to 8-10 episodes before when it’s so unnecessary. This length was just right, kept the pacing up and made the story super engaging which is helpful to focus wider attention and maybe save Sandra.

I watched the whole thing last night and have been in a similar situation although not to this extent... The basic thing they do is as explained in the program alienate you from family, then keep you busy so you have no time to literally think, hence the kids and lady being driven around all the time, the other group constantly job, monitor, sleep.... the biggest thing for me is knowing deep down myself there was someone who rooted for me... (Sis) and that is how I got free and some time to think.... I pointed out bits to my better half and the similarities were incredible. I just hope as a mother deep down she knows her kids are there..I agree on the length as well and Sandra being in more danger than ever. I didn’t realise her daughter was 28 she looked much younger! I can’t imagine how they feel, I hope they take Sarah’s advice at the end and keep trying to find her. I do wonder if she’ll have watched the series? But I doubt he’d have allowed that. Very scary thought on the dog breeding as well
I hope they come forward as well.In all likelihood there are more victims who are thus far unknown to the authorities. These crimes carry a lot of shame.
I hope the show encourages them to come forward. Robert Hendy Freegard belongs behinds bars and Sandra Clifton belongs with her children.
