How will Detective Fulcher find out who is responsible?
In episode one we see that CCTV footage captures Halliwell's car and Sian walks towards it - this footage is shown to Detective Fulcher who then gets his officers to find out whose car it is.
In real life: After DS Fulcher identifies Halliwell as a suspect after spotting his green Toyota Avensis pulling up next to Sian, as she made her way home.
DS Fulcher then secretly kept him under surveillance in the days that followed in the hope he would lead them to Sian.
However police swooped when they witnessed him buying enough paracetamol to take his own life, and arrested and charged him for kidnap initially.
He was arrested in Asda and admitted to both murders, admitting "I'm a sick f****r. I need help" and even leading officers to their bodies.
