Skinned, beheaded and served as dinner: Robert Wells Pt.2

I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin

John Price’s severed head was boiling in a pot with veggies, his skin was hanging in one piece on a butcher’s hook in the doorway and the walls were covered in blood. That was the crime scene retired detective Robert Wells walked into in 2000. Robert joins Gary Jubelin to talk about how he ran the murder investigation, and what it was like when he came face to face with the cannibal killer Katherine Knight.
