The problem is it could be any of the above or something else entirely. The thing which puzzles me is the DNA - if the killer is still around he (or they) has managed to avoid any situation where they would be required to give a sample and have not left any trace at any crime scene since. I...

The storyline in the last ever episode of Morse, "The Remorseful Day", closely resembled JB's murder and was probably inspired by it. The victim was a nurse, the husband was away, the alarm was ringing and there were no solid leads.

I agree IGG ought to be used routinely in cases like this. There could be a clause that it can only be used where significant injury or death has occurred to keep the civil liberties people happy. Personally I am opposed to ID cards because I worry about mission creep but maybe there should be...

It was 10 am, Sunday morning.

I have just had a look at the Wilson family tree on Ancestry.co.uk and was surprised to see Ruth listed as born 31st Jan 1979, died 27th Nov 1995. So the owner of the tree must believe she is deceased Her mother is listed as Nesta Burdenshott Gate Landeg 1st May 1948 to Jan 1983 and her father...

There will be answers now and the family can at least lay him to rest. RIP Jay.

Not as rare as you might think, I know three people with no middle names. One was a newborn foundling and was given the name of the train station she was left at (Victoria). The other two the parents couldn't agree on any name they both liked so in one case the child was named after a...

Maybe because there was more chance of being spotted in town, if she was being collected she didn't want anyone to see the car or driver. Another possibility is whoever picked her up arranged where to meet because it was on their route.

She could easily have used public transport. It is worth remembering that CCTV on buses didn't become a thing until 2008, firstly in London and then other areas began to have them. In late November 1995 the only way Ruth would likely have been conclusively identified was if a fellow passenger...

I read it as JC was saying he had brought Logan up since he was a baby. He and AW had been together for around 4 years and had a baby together.

There are already calls to re-open the case of the Chillenden murders in light of this event. It seems unlikely that the same person is responsible for two attacks 25 years apart, but who knows. Michael Stone was a violent drug addict and certainly capable of attacking people but the...

Yes. As far as I remember it is a long-term camp, it was there 20 to 25 years ago.

My sister lived in Snowdown years ago. It is a very small village with only about 50 houses and a population of less than 250, everyone tends to know everyone else. If anyone from there is responsible the locals will know. It is literally down the road from Aylesham which, I believe, is the...

There may be innocent reasons why the hiker hasn't come forward, but he needs to be found and spoken to. I wonder if it would be possible to triangulate all mobile phone data for the area for say, the 22nd and 23rd of November, since there won't have been that many people up there. If LE...

I am still not convinced there were any valid sightings of Louise after Thursday evening (7th). The neighbour of Stuart Hazell 'saw' Tia Sharp setting off on her shopping trip even though the poor child was already dead and dumped in the attic. People can misremember even when they are trying...
