The Unsolved Murder of Sandra Court   Sandra Court’s body was found in a water-filled ditch on May 3rd 1986, she had been strangled and dumped. There was no motive for the killing and the case remains unsolved. It is thirty-five years since Sandra Court’s body was found dumped in a ditch on the Avon Causeway, close to Sopley, in the New Forest, England, she had been strangled. Her body had been discovered by a group of teenagers out on a Duke of Edinburgh award scheme trip, I can only imagine how disturbed they must have been at making such a gruesome find. The twenty-six-year-old section head and an insurance clerk from Dorset had been for a night out to celebrate her last day of working for a company called Ambassador life. She had left the job in readiness to take on a whole new life as a nanny in Majorca. Sandra’s last few days of life were taken up with her preparations for her career change and her leaving party which had ended at a Bournemouth nightclub called Steppes, situated

  Robert Napper Pleaded Guilty To Manslaughter   Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common in July 1992 This is a bit of a different article for me but, I have a particular reason for bringing you this tragic story and it is relevant to the work I am currently involved in. The crime is solved and the perpetrator has been punished but there is more to it, hence the reason for this article. Rachel Jane Nickell was just 23-years-old when her life was abruptly ended on Wimbledon Common, London on July 15th 1992. She had been walking with her two-year-old son, Alexander Louis and their dog on the common when she was subjected to a particularly vicious attack. She was stabbed and slashed multiple times, then slashed with a knife, before being left for dead. A passer-by found unharmed little Alexander clinging to his mummy and begging her to wake-up. As you can imagine, a massive murder enquiry was undertaken by the Metropolitan Police who found themselves under a great deal of pressure

  The Teenager Who Vanished 16-year-old schoolgirl, bunked off school, never to be seen again This has to be one of the strangest, most confusing missing persons case that I have ever looked into so far. This strange and rather tragic story begins as if it was a planned suicide, but as things unravel it becomes clear that was almost definitely not the case. On Monday, November 27th 1995 Ruth Wilson got up and ready for school as normal but having eaten her breakfast suddenly informed her sister Jennifer that she would not be catching the bus to school with her.  Jennifer did not really think anything was unusual as Ruth was a sixth former and were often not required to attend school for a full day.  Ruth then called a taxi at around 11.30am which took her to Dorking town centre, She arrived at about midday and then spent almost three hours in the local library.  Just before 3pm, Ruth made her way to a local florist shop, called 'Thistles'. There she ordered a fairly expensive b

  Is The Right Man Definitely Behind Bars?  "I didn't do it," says Steven Wright I have a very specific reason for publishing this article next as it will lead to my other case studies and reviews that I have been spending a massive amount of time on and am keen to share with you in the coming days. If you are truly interested in the more in-depth study of true crime, especially murder and corruption then please enjoy this one and prepare for much more, heavily connected case reviews that tie in. So to give you a little background for anyone that is not familiar with the case, a series of murders took place in the county of Suffolk in the weeks leading up to Christmas 2006, which led to the killer being nicknamed "The Suffolk Strangler". The victims were sex workers/prostitutes that worked in the red light district of Ipswich. It transpires that Steven Wright regularly used the services of street workers and ended up being convicted of the murder of five young w

  Horrific Cold Case Murder Review Someone knows who killed schoolgirl Lisa Hession The night of December 8th, 1984 saw the murder of a schoolgirl in a cold dark alleyway in Leigh, Greater Manchester. A friend of the murdered teenager believes that the killer may well have been a male who was literally infatuated with Lisa, yet some 36 years on, the murder remains unsolved. It is a very strange case as according to witnesses Lisa's killer was almost certainly known to her and is thought to have been stalking her. According to Lisa's friend's she was a beautiful girl with a tomboy side, a girl who stood her ground and a good friend to have in life, so how was this keen gymnast and cross country runner killed and why?
