  Upcoming Documentary - Tell The Truth Come and talk to us As many of our regular readers will know, Lolly True Crime World has teamed up with a professional documentary maker and we are researching a two-part documentary. The subject matter of the documentaries is of course true crime and the first two will feature a deep-dive review of the case of the Suffolk strangler, Steve Wright and examine whether he may actually have been responsible for further disappearances and murders including the four street prostitutes from Norwich, England. The four are detailed in a previous article which you can read by clicking the link below: Norwich Prostitute Murders Lolly True Crime World was created to put the true stories out there in the public domain without cover-ups, hidden truths and so on. That is the only way that cold case crimes stand a chance of being solved and the right people being convicted of heinous crimes. That is exactly what we intend to do with these first two documentaries

  Street Prostitute Murders Still Unsolved Welcome to part two of our series of articles reviewing the unsolved murders of street prostitutes in Norfolk and Suffolk, England. We continue to look at the mysterious disappearances and killings, try to explain what we believe may have happened and who evidence suggests was responsible. Sex workers disappeared from the red-light district of Norwich and were ultimately found murdered, to date the killings remain unsolved There have been several unexplained murders of young women in the Norwich area, of which at least three of the victims have been street prostitutes. The first victim of these unsolved murders was 16-year-old Natalie Pearman whose body was found in a lay-by on Ringland Road, some 5 miles outside of Norwich city at 3.50 am on 20th November 1992. Natalie had been working as a prostitute in Norwich’s red-light district and was last seen in Rouen Road at around 1.15 am. Natalie Pearman was a bit of a “lost soul” who had turned to

Found in her Jaguar With Fifty Stab wounds   The funeral of business woman Penny Bell Thirty years ago a very succcessful 43-year-old businesswoman from Denham, Buckinghamshire, England with no apparent worries or problems set out for another day of her life but it was in fact to be the day that she was murdered. Penny Bell was a partner/director in a high powered recruitment agency, Coverstaff Ltd in Kilburn, London  The day of Thursday June 6th 1991 began like any other and all was good with Penny, her husband Alistair Bell and her two children, Matthew and Lauren. Indeed Alistair had left the family home at 8.30am as usual and set off to his work  They had builders in at the time and Penny left them to the refurbishment work, saying that she had an important appointment at 9.50am that she could not afford to miss. That was the last confirmed sighting of the businesswoman as she drove off in her pale blue Jaguar XJS car at 9.40am. Under three hours later, at around midday the police

  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. Michelle was 22 when sh

  Luke Mitchell Innocent After All? Jodi Jones was just fourteen when she was viciously murdered This case has recently come back into the news after a UK television station, Channel five broadcast a rather controversial documentary mini-series reviewing the case from 2003.  The documentary "Murder in a small town" claims that it is physically impossible for Luke Mitchell to have committed the murder and that has to say the least sparked some serious controversy.  Let me just make it absolutely clear that we are in no way injustice campaigners, neither are we following a particular line of belief here. We merely delight in seeing the truth told and justice served. So to the case in question: 14-year-old Jodi Jones was brutally murdered on June 30th 2003 in Easthouses, Dalkeith, Scotland. Her badly mutilated body was discovered around 10.30pm in some woodland area, behind a high wall quite close to her home. She had been stripped, bound, suffered multiple stab wounds and almos

  Unsolved Murder at RAF Halton 1967 !9-year-old Rita Ellis murdered on 11th November 1967 Rita Ellis was serving in the Women's Royal Air Force based at RAF Halton, between the towns of Tring and Wendover in Buckinghamshire, England when she was found dead by a dog walker early on Sunday morning 12th November 1967.  She joined the RAF in April 1967 and completed her initial training at RAF Spittlegate in Grantham, Lincolnshire before being stationed at Halton in June 1967.  Her body, naked from the waist down, was found covered by leaves at Rawbourgh Copse, part of the military installation. She had been sexually assaulted, suffered a great deal of bruising to her body and face and strangled with her own underwear, which of course makes the killing sexually motivated. Buckinghamshire police took up the initial investigation but, it was soon taken control of by New Scotland Yard.  There had been two big functions on the base on the night of November 11th 1967, one was a bingo night
