From TV presenter Jill Dando to estate agent Suzy Lamplugh:
Britain's top 15 unsolved murders which are still baffling police

These are interesting and - unusual for the Mail - interestingly drawn synopses of worthy and sometimes fascinating cases for the following persons:

Jill Dando
Suzy Lamplugh
Eve Stratford
Melanie Hall
Deborah Linsley
Valerie Graves
Alistair Wilson
Paul Savage
Julia Webb
Lyn Bryant
Billie-Jo Jenkins
Kate Bushell
Paula Hounslea
Nikki Allen
Rikki Neave

Names with links lead to existing WS threads for the case.

As this is the Mail, no persons of color are deemed worthy of their list. No surprise there. That does not detract from the cases included. But please be aware.

Thanks for this, and for linking all the threads. I'm ashamed to admit I've only heard of 6 of them!

You're welcome! I'd barely heard of just over half - only eight!

Are you in the UK, yabby?

Are you in the UK, yabby?

Only periodically these days. I do try to keep up but find I have a much better knowledge of crime events from distant centuries than I do for the ones we have been in!

 

[Amonet]

Could any of them be connected to each other and an unknown murderer, or to a known murderer who hasn't confessed to their murders?

I wish we had a proper database for the UK missing with pictures, gender and age sorts, date last seen, place last seen, and basic info on circumstances. I need everything in one place on one page in front of me.

 

[CoverMeCagney]

I know what you mean, Amonet. Our missingpersons site is not brilliant, lacks a lot of information.

The Deborah Linsley case is new to me (probably because I wasn't born when it happened). Very strange that she was murdered actually on the train and in the middle of the day! Very risky place to carry out an attack unless you knew the route and did it just before the train pulled into a station, otherwise you'd be sat with the body with nowhere to go until a station came up.

The Nikki Allen case still haunts Sunderland…… it’s awful that her killer is still free

Isn't the Billie-Jo Jenkins one obvious?
