UK UK - Melanie Hall, 25, Bath, Somerset, 9 June 1996

According to this the police are now focussing on LESS than 20 potential suspects.

There's no guarantee that the perp is even in the case files though.

Christopher Hampton wasn't on any lists for Melanie Road, and the Batman Rapist is still at large despite over 2000 suspects being DNA tested.

If the police are going with the sighting of the couple arguing between 1.45 and 2am, then why is Melanie still in the very immediate area 30-45 minutes after supposedly leaving the club?

IIRC there was one witness who thought he saw Melanie near the club getting some food and then trying to get a taxi.

The police later searched a local taxi office, but the main taxi rank in Bath was further south, very near to where the attempted abduction of LH took place hours earlier.

It's amazing that Bath had CCTV cameras in 1996, but they didn't put at least one of the cameras in the busiest part of the city.
