I agree. The Crimewatch reconstruction shows her driving and changing the wheel in the lay-by and they say the grease under her fingernails suggest she changed the tyre. At no point in the reconstruction or in the studio chat with the police officer after it did they suggest she didn't drive up...

Yeah, I think that was an error in the article. As @tes1984 says, the published picture here from the day after the car was found shows the correct registration

It does look like Tony Weston did make an appeal however it is rather perfunctory. From the Worcester News of 5 October 1983 but doesn't look like it appears anywhere else or in any national press.

Having a look through newspaper archives and found this from the Daily Mirror and found this article from August 1994 which mentions Alan Conner as a suspect. He murdered one woman and raped another before committing suicide one mile from where Janice Weston was found. It's a tenuous link but it...

The Bath rape was solved. He was arrested in 1990 but before his arrest he committed another rape in London in 1989, which he was arrested for in 2011 after his release from the Bath case prison sentence. Clip from The Western Daily Press from 1990 below and link to the 2011 arrest here - 1989...

Just had another look in newspaper archives and this is an article from The Northern Echo of 20 September 1999 and again Steven's father states that Steven was seen 3 days later and "behaved as if he didn't want to be found". How would a witness know that? 3 days later would have been New Years...

She was denied parole and is next eligible in 2031 Diane Downs, convicted of killing 7-year-old daughter in Springfield in 1983, denied parole

I have found a couple of articles in newspaper archives about Josephine Chandler and have quoted your older post @Bethan First article from The Northern Echo of 5 February 1992 covering the trial and giving more details on the attack and second article from The Western Daily Press of 12...

I have no doubt she has insider knowledge but whatever it is, it hasn't solved this case. Repeatedly saying for years on various forums that Michael Benson is the likely killer when the police have ruled him out, doesn't scream expert to me, on this case at least. Maybe she has solved other...

Managed to find this online from a December 1974 of the Gay News newspaper. Very sad story which the inquest judged to be a drug overdose. Full link the to newspaper here - https://gaynewsarchive.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/gaynews-19741219-61.pdf This is the article, it's on page 6

Just checking newspaper archives for anything on this case and noticed in 1984 that Susan's sister Sarah was stabbed to death. This was a few years later but assume that's who you mean? Sorry I realise I'm quoting this post about 18 months later but do you know if anyone was convicted for...

I have a hunch that an escaped prisoner probably wouldn't be hanging about in the family area but you never know. The police have ruled this man out. As far as I can tell from your podcast appearances and interviews, this seems to the case that you hang your hat on as some sort of result, but...

Given that he had a police record and escaped from prison only the year before in 1989, they must have knew he existed? I can see why they never thought of him as a possibility though, as they obviously had no idea where he was. He was eventually found in 1999 in East Lothian in Scotland.

I found an article from 1991 from Hauxwell's trial which states he drove a knife through his victim's throat, similar to Ann Heron. This is someone who lives 10 minutes from Ann Heron's house as @Darlo84 says. He seems a much more likely suspect than Michael Benson ever was. I wonder if @Jen...

I have just learned about this case and watched the infamous interrogation video. Thought I would just check the newspaper archives to see more about the case from the time it happened and came across this from the Simi Valley Star newspaper of 3 April 1977. Absolutely no disrespect to Sherri...
