Diana Suttey Leverstock Green
A number of people saw the killer, one of them probably even saw the murder, and someone else saw him dumping the body. Yet incredibly, he was never caught.
The victim was Mrs. Diana Suttey, a 35-year-old hospital orderly, whose strangled body was found among bushes at Leverstock Green, Hertfordshire, on Friday, September 7th, 1956. Despite 65,000 statements collected from car owners, the killer vanished into thin air.
A farmers wife actually talked to the killer when the car he was driving with Mrs. Suttey as his passenger stopped while he asked where the lane led. Later two schoolboys on their bikes saw the killer bending over his victim in the back of the parked car lovemaking, they thought. The police thought this could have been the actual moment of murder.
A little later still, a mile from where the car was first seen parked, three other boys saw a grey-haired man aged about 50, wearing kid gloves, carry something bulky from the back seat of a car. As he hauled his burden through ferns they saw a foot protruding from the mackintosh wrapping.
