Bobby Joe Long

The shocking testimony of Cindy, who met the love of her life, Bobby Joe Long, when they were just 13 years old. Almost 20 years later he would be found guilty of eight brutal murders.

In chilling detail, we relive how their relationship blossomed after they first met while playing the local park, how they became engaged seven years later, and how her life changed forever when Bobby suffered a terrible motorbike accident.

His injuries changed his personality and behaviour, turning him into an impuslive, violent abuser whose coercion, control and brutal assaults on Cindy spiralled rapidly out of control.

As the story of Cindy's troubled relationship with Long unfolds, criminologists reveal a horrifying series of rapes in the area, along with the details of the horrific murders of women who had been disappearing from the local streets.

Cindy reveals how Long's abuse drove her to breaking point, and how she finally decided to end it all by grabbing a shotgun and holding it to his head as he slept, but was prevented from pulling the trigger by thoughts of leaving her kids without any parents.

Despite finally managing to leave him and file for divorce, he continued to beat and rape her when he came to pick up their children for the weekend, and he chillingly warned her to be careful of the killer that was still on the loose.

After years of suffering, her nightmare relationship with Long finally came to a shocking end when, after a day out with her kids at the local fun fair, she received a call from him to tell her the shocking truth – that he was responsible for the multiple murders of local women.

Cindy's life came crashing down as she learned about the gruesome details of the murders including the mutilation and dismemberment he inflicted upon his victims, and his confession to dozens of rapes. Cindy had entered a living nightmare.
