In 2007 Christchurch woman Emma Louise Agnew was found dead - murdered by a man she met while trying to sell her car.
The 20-year-old was reported missing on November 15 and her body was found 12 days later, hidden beneath vegetation and pine needles near a holiday park in the north of the city.
Emma's death was shocking and tragic - but when details emerged of what happened to her and who was responsible, there was outrage.
Liam James Reid was arrested the day after Emma was found and charged with rape and murder.
By the time he went on trial in 2008 he had also been charged with the rape, attempted murder and robbery of a 21-year-old student in Dunedin nine days after Emma was killed.
In this episode of A Moment In Crime host Anna Leask delves into Reid's horrendous offending and the impact it has had over the years.
