HOWARD, ROBERT: The Wolf Man TV - CI Crime & Investigation online -
This is the voice of a killer, a violent psychopath who attacked women and young girls over a forty-year period. This is the story of a family who live in hope that one day they will find the missing body of their sister. The Wolf Man, CI 2013
This is the disturbing story of Robert Howard, a psychopathic killer who carefully selected his victims over a forty year period, and the Kent policeman whose investigation took him off the streets.
Robert Howard was almost 60 years of age when the law finally caught up with him for the murder of 14-year-old Hannah Williams in 2001. But almost 30 years earlier he’d been diagnosed as a dangerous psychopath. Now detectives are wondering: how many victims did he really have?
He called himself The Wolf Man – a reference to his origins in the parish of Wolfhill in the boglands of Ireland. He was a drifter who used his position at the very bottom of society to attack young girls again and again.
This is the story of Robert Howard: how he ducked the system, outsmarting police, prosecutors and judges all over Britain and Ireland for decades; how he selected victims who were poor, tearaway girls whose disappearance would worry no-one; how he used older, weak women to help him groom those girls; and how the pattern was only broken when he came up against a Kent police detective, determined to take him off the streets.

In 1958 a shocking murder confession made headlines across the country: The Hume Confession: ‘I killed Setty’ … Donald Hume’s admission to the pictorial that started world controversy. ibid. newspaper article
When the torso of wealthy businessman Stanley Setty appeared in the Essex marshes outside London in 1949, police had a difficult case to crack. They eventually arrested Donald Hume, a business associate of Setty, but all they could prove was that Hume had dumped the body – they couldn’t prove he had committed the murder. Hume was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment for being an accessory to murder. On his release in 1958 Hume admitted that he had killed Setty during an argument at his apartment, but now he was free to commit further evil – he was soon back in prison after killing a taxi driver in Switzerland.
In his book ‘Hume: Portrait of a Double Murderer’ author John Williams described Hume’s pathological mind as manifested through his angry facial expressions. ‘His eyes in moments of rage, stare out with a frozen, unblinking malevolence.’ Crimeandinvestigation online article, ‘Donald Hume: The Setty Case’
