Case 235: House of Horrors (Part 1/3)
In early 1969, 15-year-old Rose Letts was waiting alone at a bus stop in the English town of Cheltenham when she was approached by a much older man. 27-year-old Fred West was poorly dressed, dirty, and had a mouthful of green, chipped teeth from years of neglect. While Rose found Fred repulsive, something about him excited her.
From this chance encounter, the pair initiated an intense relationship that culminated in their marriage three years later. Mr and Mrs West then settled into their ideal family home in the city of Gloucester - 25 Cromwell Street.

Wow! What a way to start off the new year! Welcome back everyone!
Oh man, the end of this episode. Chills. Not just Caroline’s experience but the way the system treated everyone involved
Had to brace myself. This case is evil.The most vulnerable. I trust casefile to avoid exploitative details.
Oh my god. I’ve been on holiday and just checked Patreon to see if you’re back. Not only are you back, but with a case I’ve been so fascinated by for a long time. I’m so pumped for this!
Anyone else with a huge sigh of relief at the sound of the Anonymous Host's voice? Welcome back!
Great to see that Casefile is back!
Welcome back everyone at Casefile, we've missed you!
I normally don't like listening to cases that have been covered a million times but Casefile is the absolute exception. I'm so glad you're back from break with such an infamous case!
Welcome back, team! The only podcast I listen to on regular speed 1.0 😂
Oh, Bloody hell!!! 😱
Nice you see you back. Hope you’ve been good Casefile team.
Part 2 is also out. Part 3 is coming next week!
Knew it would be the Wests. Infamous case here in the U.K. What a gruesome twosome.
Knew it was gonna be the Wests! Been waiting for this to happen for a while and I can’t wait to listen!
Yay!! And so Casefile 2023 begins 😌
Fantastic!
Welcome back !!
Knew it was this case. The Wests are extremely infamous here in the UK. I remember it all unfolding at the time. Horrific stuff.
This was my guess too, jaw dropping watching it at the time.
