I totally agree.

Steve is a hero IMHO.

Amazing how laws vary from country to country. In the USA spontaneous utterances by offenders are 100% accepted in court.

The female judge who ruled the confessions inadmissible is a reflection of the complete loss of perspective on protecting the public; the priority was on following the procedures rather than ensuring evil is out of play.

What an outstanding police officer? 💕 From my perspective, this disgusting criminal voluntarily confessed to the ‘first’ murder, with the clear knowledge that he was entitled to have legal representation because he initially kept wanting to ‘go back to the station’, as well as repeating, “No comment”, &, although being held under the ‘kidnapping’ predisposition, he placed the law enforcement officer in an unprecedented moral & ethical dilemma with the subsequent confession from a ‘serial killer’, by his offer to ‘show’ the officer where his ‘first’ deceased victim was. This is clearly of no fault to the officer, despite the legal requirement to read the criminal his Miranda Rights. He did ask the murderer, “Are you sure”, prior to being shown the burial location of his supposed first victim. I say ‘supposed’ because we don’t know how many more victims there may be. This is clearly a wrongful persecution of an outstanding law enforcement officer because if my child was murdered, I would prefer her body back over pathetic justice any day. In comparison to a body retrieval & justice, justice falls short because grief lasts a lifetime, & justice for such an atrocity contains no true equality. Eg: criminal compensation runs out over time, but loss & grief remains. It is deplorable that this law enforcement officer cannot be employed, whilst the psycho serial killer was eventually found guilty and sentenced for the same crime he voluntarily confessed to, & is probably laughing at the psychopathological position he put his ‘captor’ in. Now ‘that’ is injustice. Social Scientist, Western Australia

Screw the "legal ramifications" The confessions were not obtained through torture or any other harmful method. This detective did what he had to do to get answers for the families but it is of course much more important to protect the criminals than an experienced detective who got results.

Regardless of the Courts determination that the officers actions "undermined" justice for Shan, the family was supported by that officers decision to press the killer for information, the courts ruling that charges be dropped against the killer for the second murder demonstrates just how ludicrous and self defeating laws have become.

Steve Fulcher took a chance when the killer (not alleged) had a moment of conscience and he uncovered another girl.

If you were a victim of crime you would have wanted a Steve Fulcher on your case to investigate because he gets the job done.

Forget the second body, he got in trouble for the first. We know this guy would not have confessed when with a solicitor as he didn't. Without the body it is incredibly difficult to even get her declared dead let alone get a murder conviction, he would likely still be murdering people.

The officer HAD to breach protocol. If he had not, Halliwell would not have led him to either of the bodies. The fact that the bodies were FOUND according to the information that Halliwell provided to the detective proves the legitimacy of the interrogation, as well as Holliwell's guilt. The primary objective of law enforcement should be to keep serial murderers off the street.

Mr Stever Fetcher ,you didn't lose anything because we only see a hero in this story and that's you SIR,and show us that it is the ones that will do everything to defend a serial killer that confesses two detailed crimes HORRIBLE CRIMES..

When given the choice between this officer and the officers today (who arrest people for praying in public or posting jokes on social media or basically anything a politician doesn't like) I prefer *this* officer.

Steve fulchers actions are complete common sense. PACE and the justice system needs to be revised. This man is an exemplar detective whose quest for justice is unequivocally. The attack on his career is a disgrace. Police and IPPC, you should be ashamed. This man is a hero. (Retired police officer 28,yrs experience.)

“He crossed a line that shouldn’t have been there in the first place.” Perfectly said. Laws to protect the guilty. He broke rules but did the right thing. It’s really disappointing that a police force would go against one of their own because of protocols that were not properly …… then 3 yrs later the courts excepted the same evidence that they denied years before.

Why couldn't Steve Fulcher ever work in the UK? That seems Barbaric to me.

I wish we had more police officers like Steve! Laser focus and rules be damned when someone's life is on the line. Christopher was smart, tried to screw up the investigation by NOT repeating his confession. Unreal. Criminals have more rights than the victims. Unbalanced justice. He was treated unfairly. He was doing his job. Period. But another thing sticks out to me. The killer's children and wife. Their lives as they knew it were also over. They, too, were victims of their father's crimes. And I wonder how many more Christopher killed and buried?

I’m reminded of provisions in military law & maybe they exist in civilian law also, about the right or responsibility to disobey illegal, or immoral, orders.

I just wish more police were as honourable as Steve Fulcher. Doing what is right is often not much consalation, but in this case he has saved other lives, so he achieved so much. Others could be dead if he hadn't done what he did. Shame on the system that caused him to lose his job.

A truly brilliant documentary. Thank you for this extraordinary story.

So let me get this straight, a detective solves a recent abduction, turn murder, uncovers a body from a cold case and gives two families closure (as sad as it is) and as a reward he is railroaded out of the police force and vilified? Wow, I guess that’s the way the world is now! Yet another reason I can’t wait to get off this Godless rock!

Surely this is an exceptional circumstance. Sometimes the laws rigidity is unfair and unjust to the person who does what is morally right. As Halliwell was found guilty of Becky's death the Steve Fulcher who was instrumental in finding Sian should've been reinstated to his role at the time it all happened and received public acknowledgement of his unfair treatment. Somalia - he'll be flat out there. But he was unfairly treated and common sense did not prevail. Shame on those who stand in their negative attitude towards his actions. 😔

The whole trial system is a load of bollocks, how the evidence of the guy admitting murder and burying bodies can’t go to court is mental

I completely agree with what the officer did,it's up to a defendant to ask for an attorney and not the responsibility of the officer,he broke no laws and did the right thing.

The killer bullied the victim to DEATH. Bullying a CRIMINAL sounds fair to me. It's ridiculous to have cost the successful results of Steve the detective his livelihood. The SYSTEM IS BROKEN!

I think those of the who judged Detective Fulcher should be completely ashamed. It was a disgusting determination.

DS Fulcher was a hero. There was no doubt this monster killed these poor girls. It was exceptional circumstances and an evil killer should not be protected. The world has gone mad

It shows how convoluted the constraints on that Police officer are, it seems to be geared more towards protection of the criminal than enabling the Police to secure a confession.

B proud of yourself Steve. We all are

That "Line" of protocol is what allows a majority of filthy bastards to be freed, acquitted, and returned to society to do more harm. This police officer did a magnificent thing, and risked his own future to do his job as he was sworn to do. What is more valuable to us as human beings; protecting killers that confess and show where the victims are buried, or more officers like this fine man?

The place where Becky was buried would have been impossible to find if he didn't tell the police where it was.

Common Sense says you take what the killer offers in the moment so the dead or the living can be recovered. No killers should ever walk because of litigiousness.
