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...

No, I posted a couple of years ago an article that said he escaped in 1989 but only caught in 1999 after 10 years free. Post is here : - UK - UK - Ann Heron, 44, found at home with throat cut, Darlington, 3 August 1990

Nothing about £50k in the newspapers archive but can see in 1999, The Sunday People put up a £10,000 reward for any information regarding various cases in a series of articles with John Stalker.

Surely not £50k originally, in 1990? That would be the equivalent of about £150k today. Who was putting all that up? Can see in a 2004 article here they were still saying it was £500 in 1990.

I also noticed this from the newspaper archives from The Northern Echo in October 1990. It mentions that police were taking a gamble in releasing tapes of these anonymous phone calls. Were they ever played on television for the public to hear? Don't remember them being played in the Channel 5...

Had a look on newspaper archive and found an article from The Northern Echo dated 20 April 1991 about three men who were arrested but all quickly released. Judging from the details this man who was arrested gives here, I think he was likely only brought in and questioned purely because he had...

Not sure if this has been seen before but quite interesting to see the first couple of minutes of this raw rehearsal footage of the BBC Newsflash about Jill's death. Initially they get her age wrong and correct it and then mention she had been stabbed

There was a bit of promotion recently when an ITV drama on the Moors Murders suddenly was top of the Netflix charts about 20 years after it aired . I saw it originally years ago Netflix viewers rush to watch ITV's Manchester-set true crime drama as it jumps to number 2 in streamer's chart...
