David Fuller's case, which emerged in 2020, stands as a particularly disturbing instance of criminal behavior, encompassing both murder and necrophilia. Fuller was apprehended for the 1987 murders of two women, Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, in Kent, England. His capture, over three decades after the crimes, was facilitated by advances in DNA technology.

The investigation into Fuller took a grim turn when authorities discovered not only evidence tying him to the murders but also an appalling collection of images of sexual abuse. In his home, millions of these images were found, some of which were later revealed to be of necrophilic nature. This shocking discovery indicated a long-standing pattern of deviant behavior.


Fuller's arrest and the subsequent revelations of his actions prompted a widespread reaction of horror and disgust. It also raised significant concerns about how such extensive criminal activity could remain undetected for so long. The case highlighted the evolving role of forensic science in solving cold cases, as DNA evidence was crucial in linking Fuller to the murders after more than 30 years.
