Terrified

Holly & Jessica: The Crime That Shook a Nation


Listen Later

On a quiet summer evening in 2002, two inseparable friends—Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman—walked out of their home in the small village of Soham…and were never seen alive again.
What happened in the hours that followed would ignite one of the most intense and emotionally charged investigations the UK has ever witnessed.

In this episode of Terrified Podcast, we peel back the layers of a case that unsettled an entire nation. A peaceful town. Two vanished children. A hunt for answers that grew darker with every passing hour.

We explore:

  • The eerie calm of the village before the girls disappeared

  • The timeline that puzzled investigators and terrified the public

  • Strange behaviours, conflicting accounts, and early clues that didn’t add up

  • The overwhelming manhunt that brought national attention to Soham

  • The chilling sense that the truth was much closer than anyone wanted to believe

This is a slow-burning, atmospheric descent into a mystery that gripped millions—a story of innocence stolen, a community shaken, and a nation left asking how something so unthinkable could happen in a place so ordinary.
