During one episode set to air on Friday, October 30, Killer Britain will explore the crimes of Levi Bellfield, who was found guilty of murdering school girl Milly Dowler. As the BBC reports, Dowler was reported missing on March 21, 2002, after failing to return home from school. Following a nationwide manhunt, her body was eventually found six months later in Yateley Heath Woods. In February 2008, Bellfield, who was already serving a life prison sentence for the murder and attempted murders of three women, was named the police's prime suspect. On June 23, 2011, an Old Bailey jury found Bellfield guilty of abducting and murdering Dowler.

"For years police suspected Levi Bellfield of crimes including sexual assault, GBH, abduction and drug rape. There was never enough evidence to charge him," an episode synopsis reads. "Then they began connecting him with the murders of young blonde women, and faced a race against time to get him off the streets for good."
