Maxine Carr: In an old video, Ian Huntley GRINING’s fiancée can be heard discussing Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.
It was surprising to see Ian Huntley’s former fiancée smile in an old film interview as she discussed the victims, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, with a BBC reporter. On August 4, 2002, Huntley murdered Wells and Chapman in Soham, England. The killer’s girlfriend, Maxine Carr, tried to obstruct justice by lying.
Although Wells and Chapman are still missing at the time of the interview, the woman also appears to have spoken about the girls in the past tense in the recently released video. Huntley was also not detained at this time. The girls’ teaching assistant Carr was reportedly interviewed by BBC Look East in 2002 with the killer, according to The Daily Mail.

The woman told reporter Rachael Dane that the two 10-year-old schoolgirls “often used to come up to me and confide in me and show me their lovers”, while smiling openly. She went on to say that the other girl was “really funny”, while Wells “was like a little angel”.
Shaun Whitmore, the cameraman, reportedly interrupted Carr during the interview and pointed out that she was referring to the duo in the past tense. The woman simply said “God” and smiled. She continued talking after that before making the same mistake once again. Chapman “never appeared feminine; she always seemed more tomboyish,” according to Carr.
According to testimony, the courtroom heard the interview while Carr and Huntley’s trials were underway. She insisted she didn’t know her ex-boyfriend killed the two girls at the time. Her mobile phone data which was given to the jury throughout the trial revealed that she was visiting her mother in Grimsby at the time the victims disappeared. In the early hours of August 5, Huntley also called her.
The killer was very upset during the phone call, Carr reportedly told the jury at the time. She had been informed by him that he was helping the police in their hunt. She claimed Huntley informed her: ‘I’m going to gear up like I used to. Additionally, the woman said in her defense that she gave the false alibi because she trusted the killer. “I just knew Ian, I knew he wouldn’t have done it,” she remarked. If I could, I would have quickly left the house. Directly to the police or the nearest person to inform them.
Parents of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, two Soham schoolgirls killed December 17, 2003, in London, Kevin and Nicola Wells (L) and Leslie and Sharon Chapman hold a press conference.
She shared a bed with Huntley, Carr’s QC Michael Hubbard previously noted. Would she have allowed the hand that had killed Jessica and drowned Holly to roam over her body for days to come? Isn’t that contrary to all feminine instinct? Did she suspect or know that he had killed those children? No, according to the evidence.
