2 Taxi cab drivers, one body missing one confirmed murder, my thinking is these are both connected,with approximately 60 miles between each incident and only months apart,it can’t be coincidental can it?
Richard Humphrey’s
The 51-year-old taxi driver vanished on 3 February and his Ford Sierra was found abandoned with bloodstains inside it in a car park at Heathrow Airport (some miles from Whyteleafe, the Surrey village where his home was) on 12 February. A forensic re-examination of the car in 2012 did not give detectives the breakthrough they were hoping for.
Leonard Gomm
Mr Gomm, 75, was a taxicab driver found stabbed to death in Hampton Gay, near Kidlington in Oxfordshire, at 10:50 am on 13 June 1990. His Ford Granada taxi was found five yards away. Mr Gomm had radioed his employers four hours earlier (at about 6:35 am), telling them he was taking a passenger to Bicester. Police believe he picked up the fare from Gloucester Green, Oxford. Two witnesses saw the victim driving his taxi with a passenger at around that time. No money or valuables were taken from Mr Gomm or his taxi, making the motive for his murder a mystery. On the 20th anniversary of the murder, Thames Valley Police reported the uncovering of new forensic evidence which could shed light on the motive.
