The Grindr Killer Scandal: A Faking It Special

Four murders. One serial killer. Shocking police failings. With 8 police officers being investigated for gross misconduct over the handling of the Stephen Port case, our Faking It experts examine the Grindr Killer. Through police interviews, a 999 call, fake letter and phony online identities, The Watcher, The Listener and The Profiler reveal the scandal of how police failed to stop a serial killer targeting young, gay men. By examining Port’s words and actions, they show how easy it was for Port to lie and deceive, why his lies were believed, and how Stephen Port was allowed to become one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers.
