Mother:
Unloved from day one, a boy grows into a troubled adult with no support or help.  Is it any wonder his mental illness went unnoticed and his subsequent treatment by authorities compounded the situation?

Cameron:
How did a boy raised by nuns turn into an infamous murderer amongst fellow prison inmates, did he inspire the creation of Hannibal Lecter, did he commit the acts that caused high tales to spread around in UK prisons between the 1970's-1980's?

Is it nature or nurture that turned him into a killer?  Did he ever stand a chance?
