Once dubbed Britain’s most hated woman, Maxine Carr now lives a secret life funded by taxpayers after shielding child murderer Ian Huntley.
Maxine Carr’s Notorious Past
Maxine Carr was caught up in one of Britain’s darkest crimes. As Ian Huntley’s partner—the man who killed schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman—she gave police a false alibi, crushing the victims’ families even further.
She was jailed for three-and-a-half years for perverting the course of justice but served just half. After release, Carr was granted a new identity and vanished from public view for her own protection.
On the Run: Life in Hiding
Since leaving Foston Hall Prison in 2004, Carr has been shuffled through over 10 secure safe houses. In 2011, she reportedly had her first child in a secret location. By 2012, she was involved with someone fully aware of her dark past.
Secret Wedding and Taxpayer-Funded Lifestyle
In 2014, Carr secretly married under a High Court anonymity order in a luxury hotel. Despite strict secrecy, insiders revealed she donned a £2,000 ivory wedding dress, sported professional hair and makeup, and was given away by her mother.
