I found an old article from the times, saying that "a surprising amount" of Madelaines hair was found in the hire car. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2424822.ece

One thing that has bugged me for a while is why was there no christmas video that year, John claimed he'd forgotten to buy batteries. Seems odd, what with the trip to the lake and Patsys 40th birthday celebrations being perfect home video moments, in my opinion.

Please don't think that france is ahead of the US in solving crime, there have been some horrible crimes committed here, sometimes they just arresst poeple without any evidence and hold them without charge for up to 2 years! They don't have a word for forensics and as for postmortems they...

I've been digging around but at the moment have not found the word twister used in spanish with reference to a garrote, will keep looking. Best wishes to CK :)

The garrote was the offical means of execution in spain until 1978.

The actors union in the UK is called Equity (I think you have to join for tv work), I looked at their site but they only list scots and irish actors, will try to email them for more info on the actress, there seems to be a quite a few Anna Waters in Britain.

I wonder if there is anyway to get some colour on the reconstruction, to make it more lifelike (gray makes it look like its something from a museum).

There is a psych hospital in Durham, my mums neighbour works there! Will get her to ask some some pertinent questions His diet was said to be the same food for 2 months maybe health reasons, lack of teeth to chew (he was missing 11 teeth) mental problems? I still think he may have fallen...

Sorry this is not really within the context of this discussion, but the last time the guillotine was used in france was in 1977

Hi fairy, the face looks very similar but the height is different by 6 inches. Strangley enough there was nursing home in close proximity to where he was found, but there is no-one reported missing. I have contacted the University where the tests were preformed as to the exact nature of his...

I just found out that there were no matches on the interpol database for the DNA or finger prints, so it appears the institution was not a prison. Perhaps long-term hospilization, maybe the anti-slip socks point to that. I have asked for more information from the forensic anthropolgist and...

In one interview Patsy said she generally bought pinapple from safeway already prepared(peeled and sliced) and in plastic packaging, ideal for travelling, so why the need put it in a bowl?

Hi fairy!, I don't believe he was from the UK the tests from Queens college Belfast showed that he had lived in northern Europe (wether that includes the UK is unclear) also living on a restricted diet from being institutionalized or from being from a specific socio-economic back-ground. As to...

Hi, he was found in Seaham, County Durham, UK. I'm from Hartlepool we moved to france some time ago. The investigators seem to belive he was from the european mainland, I reaaly don't think it was possible for him to be washed over from say Germany or the Netherlands. Bearing in mind the...

Hi, if there is already a thread on this case forgive me! I am interested in this case because I grew up 20 miles from where this man was found. The details of the case are; may 13th 2006 body found on beach, had been in the water several weeks, it was established to be the remains of a man...

Hi just wanted to introduce myself, I am mom of 2 girls, English but currently living in france, (any french translations needed, i'd be happy to help!) trying to use my spare time in a postive way, I would like to send hugs to Annasmom and best wishes to all:)

Hi, In french the word attaché means; file attatched to an email. And a person working at an embassy or in a government department. In the RN sense it was a zeitgiest word of the 1970's (heck i even had an attaché for my ballet clothes, before I rebelled!) So I suppose we can rule out french...
