![]() What sets this case apart from many other serial killers such as Ted Bundy (‘Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes’) or Richard Ramirez (‘ Night Stalker: The Hunt For A Serial Killer ’) is perfectly described in a quote by McCuster which he delivered within the first eleven minutes of the documentary, “Normally, in a murder case, you’ll have a victim and then you will go looking for the murder.

Nilsen complied when asked where he was hiding the rest of the body and pointed to his wooden wardrobe where police found two large garbage bags. Nilsen oddly enough invited the officers into his home where they were immediately greeted with the pungent stench of rotting human flesh. While police desperately tried to uncover information on scene, they waited for Nilsen to return home to question him about his drains. The documentary opens with an interview with Steve McCusker, a detective inspector who recalls the day his colleague got a call that there were suspected human remains that had been retrieved from a manhole in north London.

While Nilsen’s story has been told countless times in the form of films, television specials, dramatized retellings, and podcasts, this was the first time the accounts are being told from the killer’s very own voice. In his directorial debut, Michael Harte (‘Don’t F**k With Cats’, ‘Three Identical Strangers’) unravels the story using thousands of written pages and over 250 hours of cassette records recorded by Nilsen himself in his jail cell where he describes in detail his life leading up to the gruesome crimes he committed. This is the man who disturbingly once referred to himself as the “murderer of the century”. ‘Memories of a Murder: The Nilsen Tapes’ is Netflix’s most recently released true-crime documentary that dives deep into the mind of one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers: Dennis Nilsen.
