And the story doesn't end there either, of course. It leaves that lonely track and rejoins the route we are all familiar with by now: the 11 days of careful concealment, of repeated interviews given to police and journalists in which he spoke about how the girls came to the door of his house 'giggly', 'happy' and then walked away again, 11 days of lying and misdirection and even of approaching Holly's father 'Kev' as he even called him in court to express sympathy - until, in the early hours of 17 August, he was arrested and plunged into a silence that lasted until September this year, when he finally told his legal team that the girls had died in his house; that he had been with them when they died; that he had disposed of their bodies.

Stories get picked apart under cross-examination. Single words are scrutinised; phrases deconstructed. Tiny inconsistencies are gazed at until they magnify.

Narrative is broken up into separate pieces: the threshold, the bathroom, the bedroom, the bodies. Ian Huntley was actually inside the house, suggested Richard Latham QC, when the girls came down the road; Maxine Carr's statement had placed him there, with the television on, and the dog not dirty after all. So it wasn't by chance that he met the girls at the door; he was 'watching'. He was 'annoyed' after a phone call with Maxine Carr, in which she'd told him she was going out 'again' with her mother that evening in Grimsby 'Do you like to control people?

Did that irritate you? The possibility of a sexual motive behind the deaths of Holly and Jessica had not been raised until last week, but it then dominated many of the exchanges - first between Huntley and the prosecution and again later, when Maxine Carr took the stand. Huntley admits to taking Holly into the bedroom he agrees this was 'inappropriate'. The mother of the murderer's only child, Katie Bryan, was just 15 when she first met Ian Huntley.

He was several years older than her, but they quickly developed a sexual relationship which later became abusive. Maxine Carr was away on the weekend in August when Holly and Jessica went missing. The girls had left the house shortly after the infamous picture - the one which would become the face of the missing persons campaign seen above - was taken. It was thought they just wanted to explore in "an area with which they were entirely familiar," said Richard Latham, the prosecuting lawyer in Ian Huntley's trial.

At around 8. Panic soon ensued and a search party was called as the family and friends of both girls scoured the local village for any sign of the youngsters' whereabouts. Among that search party, sickeningly, was Ian Huntley. Seemingly keen to help officers hunting for Holly and Jessica, Huntley volunteered that he may have been the last person to speak to the girls after they apparently walked past his house at approximately 6.

In reality, Huntley invited the girls into his house, telling them Maxine was inside. Once inside, he ended up murdering Holly, before killing Jessica too as she tried to phone her mum for help. At his initial trial in the Old Bailey in , Huntley said he smothered Jessica by mistake as he tried to stop her crying after Holly died, but the story soon changed.

She kept saying, 'You pushed her. You pushed her'. It was only when I put my hand on her shoulder as she went for the door that I realised I couldn't let her leave the house. Detectives estimate the girls may have been dead by 6.

Huntley claims police failed to notice the phone on his draining board when they did initial door-to-door enquiries following the pair's disappearance, so he later disposed of it in a bin at the Tesco supermarket in Ely, Cambridgeshire, having cleaned it of fingerprints.

The phone was never found. Huntley claims he phoned his partner Maxine that evening, who had been away visiting relatives during the time of the murder, to tell her what he'd done. It is not known if this is true, however Maxine Carr was later jailed for attempting to pervert the course of justice because of the lies she told to cover for Huntley.
