Good point, but I think things were advanced enough that in the early 2000s they could extract DNA from objects sufficiently well to get a hit.
Soon, though. There have been IDs from rootless hair in the last few years.
The description of Penguin man suggests that he was fat and waddled like a penguin. He probably wore a long coat to hide his large tum.
The person I posted about was stocky not overweight and was wearing a short jacket in the photofit.
Maybe someone with some kind of physical difference that affects gait. Hip dysplasia? Bad knees? Rickets? I know rickets is rare now in developed countries, but someone around forty years of age in '75 would have spent their formative growing years under rationing and vitamin deprivation due to war. My grandmother had terrible osteoporosis as an elderly person due to rationing in the war years, and she was a young adult then, not a child.
I was pondering foot problems earlier too, then wondering if he had a foot fetish how that would apply to his attitude to his own feet. Did he have bunions or ingrowing toenails perhaps.
I should have said late thirties to in his forties; don't know why I wrote it 30 to 40, I didn't mean to rule out the rest of his 40s, I was probably distracted. I would go for 35 - 45 as optimum in my opinion.

I've been looking at how much people went to the pub for football in the 1970s as my Dad generally watched it at home and there were bo big screen TVs or Sky and other satellite tv stations out bidding the regular channels for the excluding rights to show footie matches. There were regular TV sets in the corner of the room where people may not have been able to hear or see much. If people had no tv it was probably great. Anyway yes people could watch a match if the pub had a tv and put it on that channel, but it wasn't the great draw for people until the 1990s. This is from checking various sites as it was probably a random internet search of me to make, I am afraid therefore my greatest source of info was this discussion plus memory of my Dad.

I've heard this too, but need something more than hearsay which is what I read. They didn't even write the lady's name. I know of two unsolved murders in the 1990s in Walthamstow, off the top of my head, one was a teacher living in a tower block and whoever killed her set her flat on fire to probably hide evidence, flats are on Forest Rd near the corner of Wood Street, a mystery person who never came forward called emergency services on Fulbourne Road and there is a suspicion that may have been the murderer. I forget how she was killed but she wasn't married as I recall.
There is no picture of Lynne Weedon's killer or we would know who killed her and Eve. There may be a photofit of someone who was seen leaving or entering the lane, or the hitchhiker, but no proof any of these people are the murderer.
Had been thinking the same thing and meant to comment, glad you mentioned it.
