What I find strange is that this was not Jill dando's killer. This was a composit of the man that was standing at the bus stop, who has long since been found and ruled out! Yet peoole still believe this is the man of Interest.1999
BBC News | UK | Dando detectives pleased with fresh appeal

''Police have issued this e-fit of their prime suspect
The description, which was used to compile the E-fit of the suspect, matched a number of descriptions of a man seen running from the scene.
The suspect is reported to have stood at the bus stop for several minutes until the 220 bus arrived.''
The Crimewatch UK and former Holiday presenter was pictured shopping at Dixons in the Kings Mall shopping centre at Hammersmith, west London, at 1055 BST.
She went to the mall after leaving her fiancé Dr Alan Farthing's home in nearby Chiswick.
The BBC's John Brain: Images may jog people's memories
The footage shows the 37-year-old wearing a beige raincoat, red button-up jacket, black trousers and boots, and carrying a white carrier bag in her left hand, with a black handbag over her right shoulder.
She first went to buy white A4 fax paper from Ryman's in King Street and then walked to Dixons.
Ms Dando was looking for blue ink cartridge for her fax machine.
Driving her blue BMW
Police say she left without finding what she wanted, and may have gone to look for it at another shop.
She then left the mall and drove to her home in her dark blue BMW convertible.''

''Pictures were taken 40 minutes before the murder
She is known to have called someone on her mobile phone at about 11am, although the nature of her call is not considered to be relevant.
A witness believes he spotted her driving her BMW towards Fulham along Distillery Road, Hammersmith, which runs parallel to Fulham Palace Road and is known as a short cut.
But following that, there is a gap in police knowledge of Ms Dando's movements, until she drove into Gowan Avenue from the Munster Road end at about 1130 BST.
It is thought that at some point around this time she stopped at another shop to buy two fillets of Dover sole.
Officers appealed for anyone with CCTV cameras pointing towards the road along the route she is thought to have taken to contact them immediately.
Officers want to examine footage covering her presumed route, and any taken in the area where the murder suspect and a mystery Range Rover were later seen.
The three stretches they are concerned with are those between Chiswick and Hammersmith, Hammersmith and Gowan Avenue, and Gowan Avenue and Putney Bridge.''
It was also Richard Hughes's brother who purchased Jill dando's home. Two people said that they saw an estate agent hanging around outside of her property before her murder. Who was he meeting...and was there something in the sale of her home that caused this?There are only 2 possibilities regarding somebody knowing that she was going home.
The 1st one is her neighbour Richard Hughes, who happened to be home at that time watching out of his window & commenting on every little thing that she did. He says he watched her arrive home, He heard her car alarm go on and the gate click shut but didn't hear the gunshots...
The other possibility is that she innocently spoke to somebody while she was leaving her fiance's house who was obsessed with her, and she told him he would she was nipping home.
It should also be noted that she had a friendship with that neighbour (RH) and would regularly go into his house for evening drinks. That neighbour was actually an initial suspect and it was him who led the police to Barry George!
He states in interviews he was the 1st on the scene (he wasn't, Vivian saunders found Jill) He claims he only saw the back of somebody walking away, yet when he was in court gives a detailed description and says that he thought he looked like Comedian, Bob Mills. Funnily enough you could describe Barry George's looking like Bob Mills.
Now picture the scene. He says he saw Jill arriving home and heard the car alarm go on. But he doesn't see any body else behind her. Now given the fact it would have taken Jill 30 seconds to get to her front door, it would be almost impossible not to see somebody following her.
The other option is that perhaps her killer was in her house and when she opened the door he was there and the scream of suprise was down to that. ( people don't see people coming with their backs to them if her killer came from behind)! Jill's keys were maybe left in the door and after he shot her he pulled the door shut before walking away Leaving police believing that she had not entered her house. If that explanation is what happened then the person was either in her house looking for something ( incriminating documents) or was burglarizing her property & had the gun with him ( maybe stolen in another burglary) and when she let out the suprise scream, he forced her to the floor with the gun and pulled the trigger.
I would be looking much closer to home!
I am a reformed gang member who now visits prisions talking to the youths about gang culture I can assure you they do adapt weapons, but not in this way.Pros don’t make their own bullets , they just use a smaller caliber gun and correspondently quieter ammo
My first thought about this murder is that somebody wanted to stop the wedding from happening. imo.I am a reformed gang member who now visits prisions talking to the youths about gang culture I can assure you they do adapt weapons, but not in this way.
This type of gun required a close up shot. A rifled round is accurate whereas a smooth bore can go in any direction.
Her killers description was extremely nervous, & he panicked after. He ran the full length of Fulham Palce Rd into traffic and Into Bishops Park! That was her killer imo, not a man wearing a suit, or the man at the bus stop!
That description, sounds more like someone who did not mean to kill her, or a Jilted lover. Her engagement ring ( she'd just announced) was described as being on show! That could be a very important detail.
I wouldn't like to speculate on the motive but there are many things that stand out to me. Including the fact her fiancé was still married ( although they were separated)My first thought about this murder is that somebody wanted to stop the wedding from happening. imo.
Did the fiancée divorce his wife or did they reconcile their differences? The new divorce law was approved in 2000/2001.I wouldn't like to speculate on the motive but there are many things that stand out to me. Including the fact her fiancé was still married ( although they were separated)
Farthing divorced his wife in 1998I wouldn't like to speculate on the motive but there are many things that stand out to me. Including the fact her fiancé was still married ( although they were separated)

Different styles tho ?Both had blonde hair
I've only just finished watching the first episode. I hadn't realised she had parked right outside her house and got out to enter the property.I am going to watch the first episode tonight but I assume nothing new or it would already be in the media.
