  Who Killed Michelle Bettles This is the first in a series of articles reviewing the unsolved murders of sex workers in Norfolk and Suffolk, England. I will be looking at the mysterious killings and some of the reasons why these young women lost their lives and who may have been responsible 22-year-old Michelle Bettles was the third prostitute to disappear from Norwich's red-light district and be found murdered  Michelle Bettles was a sex worker plying her trade on the streets of Norwich, England in the early hours of Friday 29th March 2002, when she suddenly disappeared.  She failed to keep a pre-arranged appointment in the Dereham Road area of Norwich with a regular client. This was very unusual for Michelle, who regularly kept to arrangements and met her punters promptly. On this occasion, it seems that Michelle did not even intend to keep the appointment as she was last seen heading in completely the opposite direction to where she was supposed to meet.

The Unsolved Murders of Three Women Are To Be Reviewed Vicky Glass, Rachel Wilson and Donna Keogh all disappeared between 1998 and 2002  These three young women all went missing from Middlesborough, England in unexplained circumstances. The bodies of Rachel Wilson and Vicky glass were later found but Donna Keogh remains a missing person. There has never been an identified link officially established between the three disappearances but, it does seem likely that there is possibly a connection, all three cases have been treated as murder. Assistant Chief Constable of Cleveland police, Jason Harwin said "There is a commonality between the cases through the ages and sex of the victims and all being linked geographically to Middlesborough". He did not elaborate as to whether he considers any further link such as the same perpetrator. Cleveland police have launched an in-depth review in which all three cases will be thoroughly re-investigated. The force has been granted 3.77 millio...

  What Happened to Stuart Lubbock - Unsolved One of eight people at Michael Barrymore's party almost certainly killed Stuart Lubbock  What was originally labelled as a tragic drowning accident at a party has been shrouded in mystery ever since with the victim's grieving dad sending out several allegations of rape, and murder over the years, why? The simple fact is that Stuart Lubbock met his unexplained death at a party at the mansion home of TV Strike it Lucky start Michael Barrymore in Royden, Essex UK.

  Notorious murder case re-opened in 2016 Who really tortured and killed this 14-year-old lad in 1979? The case of Alan Livesey was re-opened by Lancashire Police in 2016 despite his mother Margaret having been convicted of torturing and murdering him at their home in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire UK on February 22nd 1979. The teenager was found stabbed and bound at his home in The Crescent but the truth about who was really responsible for his torturous death has been shrouded by suspicion and debated widely ever since. Margaret Livesey was convicted of murder at Preston Crown Court in July 1979 and was sentenced to life imprisonment but maintained her innocence until her death from throat cancer in 2001, aged 64. Margaret was released from HM Prison Styal in 1989 with a lifetime licence to The Probation Service and went to live near to her daughter Janet in Surrey. Neither Margaret nor the family ever gave up the fight for the truth to be told about Alan, she even left a clause in he...

The wood was somewhere that the 49-year-old doctor visited regularly with her dog. It was a horseshoe-shaped area of approximately 300 acres, so qui...
