Absolutely not interested in DM journalists so please go away now!! This documentary is actually messing about with my head and I should switch off . This revolting man murdered a female who had served me and my friends at a cocktail bar the evening she was murdered, he then committed atrocities on dead people,my mum sadly died during that time but thankfully we think she was left alone,this creep was someone I met at work as a handy man at work ,so many coincidences ,..feel sick !!

Tbh, I think that watching it was a bad idea being so close to home, If you worked in the same hospital as him, chances are you also inadvertently met quite a few of his victims as well as the one who served you and your friends.
I love true crime documentaries, but honestly I think that his crimes are too shocking to watch a documentary about, so I can understand that it's had quite a visceral affect for you, especially having had this cross over with him and his victims quite so many times over the years

Well I watched it because of your post OP, and the most striking things were, firstly, just how ordinary and unremarkable he was. Passing unnoticed among people, arousing no suspicion at all. The banality of evil.

the other thing was the poor police detective who had to sort and watch all the images Fuller had amassed and stored, in order to identify (mortuary) victims. That man had a thousand yard stare. He’s clearly haunted by what he saw and will always be.

And that's why these documentaries are needed- to remind us that they walk among us. He was someone's son/ brother/ partner/ colleague/ friend. Just ordinary.

I think you just wanted to tell someone because everyone seems to bury their heads in the sand and they arnt really listening or caring unless they have been directly effected. Unfortunately u have been and sadly me too.

You shouldn't apologise!
