Why was "Aladdin‘s Cave" needed? OK, the use of email wasn't very common in 1995, but virtually every organisation had a fax machine. You'd think that Police Force X would be able to fax every other police force in the UK and say - "We've discovered a stolen grand piano here. Anyone in your district reported one missing?"
The Daniel Handley case had all kinds of things going on behind the scenes. There's a lot on information below, which I know a lot of Crimewatch fans may find of interest. Sadly, like so many other child victims, Daniel came from a very chaotic home. His parents had separated and his mother was subsequently living with a violent, aggressive younger man who was a suspect at the start. Both he and Daniel's mother were subsequently arrested and charged with gross indecency, assault and child neglect - they were known on the estate for having sex while visible to children, and their home was often used for sex parties. The case had so many of the hallmarks of the Sidney Cooke gang that police worried that a gang member had escaped detection and had committed another crime. It turned that there was actually an indirect link. The murderers had been friendly with another paedophile, who had shared a cell with Sidney Cooke in jail. Cooke had told this man how he had committed his crimes and he in turn had told the murderers. The killers were found due to an unusual cocktail of events. A lady claimed to have seen Daniel several months after Daniel's disappearance with three men in a café in Bristol, one of whom was described as a 'bull of a man'. This turned out to have been impossible, as Daniel was killed very shortly after being abducted, and yet it it led the police in the right direction. A psychiatrist subsequently later called the police to let them know about a patient he had treated previously who had talked about his desire to kill a child like Daniel. That man turned out to be Tim Morss - who indeed was a 'bull of a man'. The other culprit was Brett Tyler - a man who had been abusing children in the Philippines on an industrial scale. Morss and Tyler both came from the type of background that so many murderous paedophiles have. Morss had led a massively unstable childhood, being passed around from care homes to foster families, back to his mother who herself was unstable. His parents split up at an early age, and his dad had schizophrenia, and a criminal record for stealing a Royal Mail van. The one man who had been a father figure to Morss (a neighbour) died when Morss was young. he subsequently went off the rails and was in trouble at school. He was arrested for stealing carpets and was sent back to a care home. He was then sexually abused by a man who worked there. Again, very much the background of so many child sex offenders, and notably the same as many members of the Sidney Cooke gang. Their childhood was destroyed, and the rage leads them to want to destroy the childhoods of others. It transpired that Morss had also been abusing another boy over a long period. This boy came forward when he was 17 and told the police what had happened. he now believed that he may be HIV + as a result of what had happened. HIV seems to have been rife among the paedophiles in the 80s and 90s, reflecting their frenzied sexuality. Lenny Smith, one of the worst members of the Sidney Cooke gang, died of it. Dennis King, the man who was behind the infamous and massive Southend / Shoeburyness paedophile ring (and who also knew Lenny Smith and Sidney Cooke) also died of HIV. There was a second boy whom Morss lived near and had planned on abducting and killing, but thankfully he seems to have escaped unscathed. The first incident that Morss was convicted of was when he came out of the army and got a job taxi driving and cleaning chandeliers. Aged just 22, it transpired that Morss had been molesting the children of a neighbour for 4 years. Morss's mother subsequently went on record with the truly by saying this about the victims: "They were evil kids. I don’t like to say wicked things, but they stole, they told lies, one of them tried to gouge his mother’s eyes out because they were couldn’t have Christmas pudding. They don’t exist for me.” Absolutely unbelievable - and it says a lot about what kind of family he grew up in. Morss's mother seems to have had no qualms about allowing her son to accompany her when she childminded and became a foster parent. Unbelievably, Social services were also aware of his record and seem not to have minded either. She also went on record with an incident shortly after Daniel's murder, before Morss was caught. The case was being reported on TV and she commented on what an awful case it was. He responded “It’s disgusting. What kind of person would do a thing like that?” The case highlighted the problem in tracking paedophiles before the sex offenders register was introduced, and the lack of interest taken in pursuing paedophiles. The files from the Sidney Cooke gang were found to be in a mess, and no learning appeared to have been taken from it all. The files on the people who did murder Daniel had been lost, along with those of hundreds of others. The part of the Met charged with dealing with these matters was essentially just two people. and NCIS, which had taken charge of other aspects of sex crimes, did not have the funds to process the information and so had just stored it in a warehouse. As a result, the police were unable to find information of which paedophiles lived within a radius of Daniel, information which would have identified the two killers promptly. The problem extended past the Met and the NCIS. When Daniel's body was found in Bristol, the Met asked Bristol police to say how many known paedophiles were in the area. They said they were not aware of any. Upon further investigation, it turned out that there were hundreds.
I have a sick feeling that the files were lost on purpose. An awful lot of beasts, men and women, seem to be in the so called upper class dept. Thank you for all the research!

Daniel Handley was murdered by Timothy Morss and Brett Tyler. Fair play to the bobbies - once his body was found, they had a good idea who was responsible and acted pretty quickly. At 29:29 on the video, Detective Superintendent Ed Williams says, "One thing we are certain of is that Daniel's burial site was no accident. We believe that whoever left Daniel here used this area." And this turned out to be the case. Although Daniel was murdered in Berkshire, he was then taken to the outskirts of the Bradley Stoke estate (where Timothy Morss lived) and was buried (and subsequently re-buried) there. The idea was probably that Morss and Tyler could easily visit the "grave" to frequently gloat over their evil deed. There are similarities to the Moors Murderers here - Myra Hindley was photographed by Ian Brady holding her dog on Saddleworth Moor while crouching virtually on the spot where John Kilbride had been buried. i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/05/17/21/005A47AA00000258-4516340-image-a-83_1495053613678.jpg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Daniel_Handley
Investigating links to fertility treatments and cancer. Murdered by the state and big pharma no doubt. Sounds far fetched but there’s already been a murder featured and crimewatch that is almost certainly linked to the state and if you include Jill dandy that’s two!
On the Janet Brown murder I've read all there is available to read, and it is one of the most baffling cases I've ever come across in some ways. It's still unsolved to this day, even with a DNA profile. If I had to say I think it was probably - not certainly - not a burglary and it was staged in a half hearted way to look that way. I also think it seems strange that she was found naked and bound up, and yet the Police deem there not to have been a sexual assault. Just because there was no evidence of sexual assault doesn't mean there wasn't one, or that there was no sexual motive. If a woman is found naked, bound and gagged in her own home then you must surely wonder about the intentions of the killer as even if they're brutal enough to bind and gag her, they'd surely let her put her gown on (found on the bedroom floor) if the only intention is to rob her. I suspect the glass was smashed after she was killed to make it look like a burglary. A burglar even called in to Crimewatch to say no burglar would try to enter a property that way. And why do it if you know she's in, with her car parked up the drive. More glass fell on the outside than inside, suggesting it was smashed from inside. So if the killer did not enter through the broken glass, then you have to conclude that the killer/s entered after she answered the door to them. That part is a mystery. Did she have a boyfriend? The police think not. Did someone ring the door bell and then force their way in? Well it seems unlikely to me that she'd have answered the door at that time in a remote location, on her own, when she was apparently security conscious (she had a panic alarm installed) and when she'd told her daughter she was going to go to bed early. That is, unless she was expecting someone. I've read that the killer seemed to have used the bathroom after the murder to remove blood, and the shower was set in quite a high position. Being a tall person I know I have to do this too. But Janet was short and wouldn't have done that, so it is reported. So if you don't even know the woman, don't know the house, don't know when or if someone else will be back, and the alarm is ringing, would you really just go and have a shower? I may be missing something, but this doesn't fit together to me. My suspicion is it was someone she knew and they set off the alarms afterwards to make it look like a burglary gone wrong. She was also seen driving away from her home at 6:30pm (less than 2 hours before she was likely attacked) but nobody knows where to. That could be a red herring, but if the Police don't know where she was less than 2 hours before her death, then you can't help but be curious as to whether that's a clue.
Fascinating - I lived in Aylesbury at the time but only came across it when I perused an old CW vid a few years back. It is an odd case definitely. Unsolved murders are the worst for the families left behind I feel and I pray the family get it resolved eventually !!!!
@@IanP1963 it's in the reconstruction and in several sources I've read about the case that she was seen driving away from the house at approximately 6.30pm. She could have just been going to the supermarket, I don't know, something like that. Although, those were different times and people were less in the habit of just 'popping out' to do food shopping back in the mid-90s, especially in a rural area I would think. It could also be that the witness got the wrong day. But even if they had, there is no information to suggest that the Police have been able to find out where she might have been going, as if someone is driving away from their home after 6pm then it seems unlikely to have been routine, and if it was, her family would have been able to say why.
@@tomgraham3206 1990's weren't different times at all Tom, pretty similar to today if I recall. Depends how near the shops were to her I suppose. Yes witnesses may have thought one day was another day, it's very possible.
Thanks for posting Andy. I saw this episode 23 years ago. I remember the Janet Brown reconstruction and getting a bit scared when the murderer put the tape on the window. Still unsolved I think.

@@meskbren It's OK I agree, funnily enough my birthday is 11th April and I was 59 and I am 60 next year, where does time go to. Coincidentally the day Janet Brown was found in 1995 I have realised was my 32nd birthday. What's your take on the case ? I notice that her former house is being sold for nearly £600,000 and has gone back to it's former name. It seems to have been refurbished and shows inside the residence also. I couldn't live in a house where such a heinous murder had occurred.
Sad Janet’s murder still hasn’t been solved but the police have a dna sample of her killer and they caught the original night stalker in USA after 40 years so I hope they catch her killer someday:(
@@Freshy009 - It looked more than that. They may have seen something they wanted whilst working and come back at night. Burglary gone wrong. Just a thought.
@@andrewsmith2757 The detectives felt it was someone who had been in the house before, and who was a local to the area. DNA was found, this hasn't been linked to anyone so far - that ruled out the builder and his son. The motive was sexual, and the original target may have been the daughter or both daughter and mother. Of course at the last minute the daughter decided to stay at a friend's house.
no - everyone seemed to have their alibis sorted out. working in medical research and they don't say what the husband did for work in switzerland but that is the epicentre of medical research including human experimentation without consent. i think she was possibly going to blab or she was a mind control subject. when the horse rider saw her driving early evening and she didn't slow down as usual and seemed preoccupied it would be hypnosis and she would have been delivering the research data or whatever. espionage. later she is tired and goes for an early night which suggests an amnesic wearing off or kicking in. they didn't even bother to make it look like a burglary gone wrong or a sexual assault.
MY HEART BREAKS FOR LITTLE DANIEL, ONLY IN NIGHTMARES CAN YOU THINK WHAT HE WENT THROUGH IN THOSE 10-12 DAYS THEY THINK HE WAS ALIVE FOR. I HOPE THE ONES WHO TOOK HIM WERE FOUND & TREATED ACCORDINGLY, I CAN’T SAY IT MORE POLITELY THAN THAT.

First broadcast: Thu 18th May 1995, 21: 30 on BBC One London This month, help is needed to solve the mystery surrounding the murder of Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator Janet Brown. On 10 April she went to work in Oxford and returned home as usual. A friend telephoned her around 8.00pm and she was fine, but her body was found the next morning. Help is needed to identify several cars seen in the area at the time she died. And police are also hoping to identify a man caught on camera selling stolen jewellery. Crimewatch UK Update is at 11.20pm. Presented by Nick Ross and Sue Cook.
I didn't realise that I accidentally added May 1995 to the lists, I've removed it now from the lists of episodes currently not on RUclips.

It actually annoys me so much that they're trying to pass off those kids that killed Mrs Grey as 'innocent' by saying that they didn't mean to kill her. Fact is, they did, as it's also a fact that they were intent on robbing some poor old lady so viciously that they never stopped to think or care that they had caused her injuries. That is far from innocent.

Daniel lived up the road from my house, even being young kids ourselves we all left for school a little earlier to help search for him and on our way home we'd do the same. Just before this we were all playing in our cul de sac and 2 men tried getting one of my twin cousins into their car, we all ran towards the car and they drove off failing their attempt. We will never know who they were. The people round here from that time will never forget Daniel
The first case was written about at some length by Paul Britton in his second book, "Picking up the Pieces". I think it must have influenced Colin Dexter, as well, because the final Inspector Morse story, "The Remorseful Day", has some similarities.
Forgive if someone else had asked the same question Feb Mar Ap 1995 episodes are not uploaded?? I tried to find but to no avail. Cheers Andy S for your great work.
Michael Moore ... You have 1984 - 1994?? Does that mean you have the elusive Feb 1992 programme?? A LOT of us on here are very keen to see the infamous Michael Sams episode again.
No it wasn't him. The man responsible was called David Edward Bryant of Cumbria. He was caught in 2012, aged 65, with DNA evidence that has come when a relative of his committed a crime and went on the DNA database. Bryant was found to have kidnapped two girls from Newcastle in the 1990s. The DNA also showed that he kidnapped and abused a 3 year old girl from Southampton and another girl from Gosport, both in the 1980s.
:( hasn't anyone got February, March and April 1995? I can't even find an episode synopsis for them to go and research the cases covered elsewhere. Thanks for what you have done ................................ must have been cases now locked away in Kew!
Well, a year later, I still can't find them. It is a week before xmas 2022 and none are posted, so it looks like we aren't going to see them after all.
Did nick Ross break proto by taking them handcuffs out the evidence bag let alone handing them as well and poor Daniel was killed by that sicko Sidney Cooke and his sick individuals were was responsible for his murder such a shocking crime against a vulnerable young child
They have DNA evidence now for the Janet Brown murder - a male did it but no match as yet. I wish they'd carry out familial genetic tracing like they do in the US. I know they do to a certain extent - such as if a close match is found on DNA database they may look into family members but its not to the same extent as looking at "23 & Me" etc for example. Get the brute!!!
I was 16 at the time. Oddly enough I started watching Crimewatch in about 1988 when I was about 9 which is a bit young to be watching this type of show. Also, I usually watched it by myself, the rest of my family weren't interested.
The robbery in Manchester, the woman was dumb to open the door. Most people would not have done after seeing a guy dressed in a red jscket with his hood up who looks terrifying and dodgy
Janet Brown case how about she was having an affair and wanted to end it? The man got angry and killed her. Didnt she ride an bmw that they didnt who it belonged to
@@IanP1963 Well the police no longer agree with Mr Britton's theory (although they once did), after another case review they felt it was more likely to be a bungled robbery, though nothing was touched (apart from the plug of a TV being pulled out of the socket). The 'robber' had also rifled through Janet's scuba diving gear. Ultimately, With her being naked and having all her jewelly I'd lean to a sexual predator.
On re watching this video of the murder Janet Brown and that she had a project which was studying the link between infertility treatment and cancer in women later in life. I don’t think the Medical industry (Pharma) would like that kind of study. Anything or anyone coming between them and the huge amount of money those treatments make for them would be a threat I think.
Seriously loony conspiracy theory rubbish. Why can't you accept that quite a lot of "everyday" people are actually quite nasty, and perfectly capable of committing crimes like that. Suggest you read Hannah Arendt's work on how banal evil is.

Although Daniel was murdered in Berkshire, he was then taken to the outskirts of the Bradley Stoke estate (where Timothy Morss lived) and was buried (and subsequently re-buried) there. The idea was probably that Morss and Tyler could easily visit the "grave" to frequently gloat over their evil deed.
There are similarities to the Moors Murderers here - Myra Hindley was photographed by Ian Brady holding her dog on Saddleworth Moor while crouching virtually on the spot where John Kilbride had been buried.

Thanks for the info.
The Janet Brown murder is so sad and sinister. It terrifies me, I can’t bare to imagine how she felt. This is one case I truly hope they solve.
I agree - very odd indeed !!!!
Investigating links to fertility treatments and cancer. Murdered by the state and big pharma no doubt. Sounds far fetched but there’s already been a murder featured and crimewatch that is almost certainly linked to the state and if you include Jill dandy that’s two!
Bulic Forsythe ,Lee parsons and janet brown all killed by the state imo. All featured on crimewatch.
The picture quality is absolutely mint!
Cheers Andy! Thanks for the 1996 1997 and 1995 episodes! 😁👌👍
Thanks for your comment Ryan. Didnt see it until now.
@@ajs41 That's OK Andy it's always good to hear from you! I hope you are keeping safe and well!
On the Janet Brown murder I've read all there is available to read, and it is one of the most baffling cases I've ever come across in some ways. It's still unsolved to this day, even with a DNA profile. If I had to say I think it was probably - not certainly - not a burglary and it was staged in a half hearted way to look that way. I also think it seems strange that she was found naked and bound up, and yet the Police deem there not to have been a sexual assault. Just because there was no evidence of sexual assault doesn't mean there wasn't one, or that there was no sexual motive. If a woman is found naked, bound and gagged in her own home then you must surely wonder about the intentions of the killer as even if they're brutal enough to bind and gag her, they'd surely let her put her gown on (found on the bedroom floor) if the only intention is to rob her.
I suspect the glass was smashed after she was killed to make it look like a burglary. A burglar even called in to Crimewatch to say no burglar would try to enter a property that way. And why do it if you know she's in, with her car parked up the drive. More glass fell on the outside than inside, suggesting it was smashed from inside. So if the killer did not enter through the broken glass, then you have to conclude that the killer/s entered after she answered the door to them. That part is a mystery. Did she have a boyfriend? The police think not. Did someone ring the door bell and then force their way in? Well it seems unlikely to me that she'd have answered the door at that time in a remote location, on her own, when she was apparently security conscious (she had a panic alarm installed) and when she'd told her daughter she was going to go to bed early. That is, unless she was expecting someone.
I've read that the killer seemed to have used the bathroom after the murder to remove blood, and the shower was set in quite a high position. Being a tall person I know I have to do this too. But Janet was short and wouldn't have done that, so it is reported. So if you don't even know the woman, don't know the house, don't know when or if someone else will be back, and the alarm is ringing, would you really just go and have a shower? I may be missing something, but this doesn't fit together to me.
My suspicion is it was someone she knew and they set off the alarms afterwards to make it look like a burglary gone wrong. She was also seen driving away from her home at 6:30pm (less than 2 hours before she was likely attacked) but nobody knows where to. That could be a red herring, but if the Police don't know where she was less than 2 hours before her death, then you can't help but be curious as to whether that's a clue.
Fascinating - I lived in Aylesbury at the time but only came across it when I perused an old CW vid a few years back. It is an odd case definitely. Unsolved murders are the worst for the families left behind I feel and I pray the family get it resolved eventually !!!!
Where's the clue re her going out two hours before her death Tom ?
Do you think it was random or do you think she knew her killer ?
@@IanP1963 it's in the reconstruction and in several sources I've read about the case that she was seen driving away from the house at approximately 6.30pm. She could have just been going to the supermarket, I don't know, something like that. Although, those were different times and people were less in the habit of just 'popping out' to do food shopping back in the mid-90s, especially in a rural area I would think. It could also be that the witness got the wrong day. But even if they had, there is no information to suggest that the Police have been able to find out where she might have been going, as if someone is driving away from their home after 6pm then it seems unlikely to have been routine, and if it was, her family would have been able to say why.
@@tomgraham3206 1990's weren't different times at all Tom, pretty similar to today if I recall. Depends how near the shops were to her I suppose. Yes witnesses may have thought one day was another day, it's very possible.
Thanks for posting Andy. I saw this episode 23 years ago. I remember the Janet Brown reconstruction and getting a bit scared when the murderer put the tape on the window. Still unsolved I think.
27 yrs now 😔
@@IanP1963 and 3 years since my original comment!!!! 😬
@@meskbren Lol - point taken !!!
@@IanP1963 sorry - I didn't invent my comment as an attack on your timing. I'm just shocked that its 3 years since I commented on that video. I feel the grains of sand plummeting through the hourglass!
@@meskbren It's OK I agree, funnily enough my birthday is 11th April and I was 59 and I am 60 next year, where does time go to. Coincidentally the day Janet Brown was found in 1995 I have realised was my 32nd birthday. What's your take on the case ? I notice that her former house is being sold for nearly £600,000 and has gone back to it's former name. It seems to have been refurbished and shows inside the residence also. I couldn't live in a house where such a heinous murder had occurred.
Sad Janet’s murder still hasn’t been solved but the police have a dna sample of her killer and they caught the original night stalker in USA after 40 years so I hope they catch her killer someday:(
They have got DNA for Debbie Linsley and still no arrest after 35 years.
They should do familial DNA testing find his ancestors.
Janet Brown murder is still unsolved very sad case after 25 years and nobody knows who the killer is
My wife & I lived in Aylesbury at that time and don't even remember it - very sad !!!!
In the case of Janet Brown, does anyone think it was one of the builders? They may have seen something whilst working and come back for it that night.
The building team were just a man and his son, the son found her body...
@@Freshy009 - It looked more than that. They may have seen something they wanted whilst working and come back at night. Burglary gone wrong. Just a thought.
OK, just the father or son if they were the only builders there.
@@andrewsmith2757 The detectives felt it was someone who had been in the house before, and who was a local to the area. DNA was found, this hasn't been linked to anyone so far - that ruled out the builder and his son. The motive was sexual, and the original target may have been the daughter or both daughter and mother. Of course at the last minute the daughter decided to stay at a friend's house.
no - everyone seemed to have their alibis sorted out. working in medical research and they don't say what the husband did for work in switzerland but that is the epicentre of medical research including human experimentation without consent. i think she was possibly going to blab or she was a mind control subject. when the horse rider saw her driving early evening and she didn't slow down as usual and seemed preoccupied it would be hypnosis and she would have been delivering the research data or whatever. espionage. later she is tired and goes for an early night which suggests an amnesic wearing off or kicking in. they didn't even bother to make it look like a burglary gone wrong or a sexual assault.
MY HEART BREAKS FOR LITTLE DANIEL, ONLY IN NIGHTMARES CAN YOU THINK WHAT HE WENT THROUGH IN THOSE 10-12 DAYS THEY THINK HE WAS ALIVE FOR.
I HOPE THE ONES WHO TOOK HIM WERE FOUND & TREATED ACCORDINGLY, I CAN’T SAY IT MORE POLITELY THAN THAT.
Sarah from Eastenders lol
36:37 The old lady with the long hair, I'm sure that actor played a character in Little Britain.
She was the old lady David Walliam's character fancied.
That would be Evie Garratt.

This month, help is needed to solve the mystery surrounding the murder of Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator Janet Brown. On 10 April she went to work in Oxford and returned home as usual. A friend telephoned her around 8.00pm and she was fine, but her body was found the next morning. Help is needed to identify several cars seen in the area at the time she died.
And police are also hoping to identify a man caught on camera selling stolen jewellery.
Crimewatch UK Update is at 11.20pm.
Presented by Nick Ross and Sue Cook.
I didn't realise that I accidentally added May 1995 to the lists, I've removed it now from the lists of episodes currently not on RUclips. We are just December 1995 away from having 1995 another year complete on RUclips. hopefully Fanedit has December 1992, December 1995, May 1996, September 1996, October 1996, March 1998 and July 1999. That'll be every episode until 1999 then. And hopefully Fanedit has 2000 onwards.

Edit: Crimewatch File "Murder without Motive" was uploaded yesterday by fellow Crimewatch UK archivist Unobtainable2 who I've forgotten to thank again in my previous comments!
It actually annoys me so much that they're trying to pass off those kids that killed Mrs Grey as 'innocent' by saying that they didn't mean to kill her. Fact is, they did, as it's also a fact that they were intent on robbing some poor old lady so viciously that they never stopped to think or care that they had caused her injuries. That is far from innocent.
I agree but think the down playing tactic was perhaps an attempt for people harbouring them to call in.
What! STILL surprised that psychopaths have no empathy?
Daniel Denby-Ashe she payed Janey harper in "My Family"|
The mother of the child who was abducted should have been keeping a close eye on her. She wouldn’t have been kidnapped if that had happened

Keep up the great stuff I’m looking for December 1995 episodes
I'll see if it's available.
Cheers once again for this Andy 🙌🏾
Thanks. I just hope the BBC don't ask me to take them down. If I put too many on in a short space of time they might notice.

Did one of the girls in the first reconstruction play Sarah in Eastenders?
Is that not Natalie Cassidy from Eastenders at the very start playing the female officer knocking on the door too?
Also the girl with the dark hair at the dinner played Georgina in Grange Hill.
Kamikazegirl80 If that’s Natalie Cassidy, she’s very mature for an 11 year old.
Daniella Denby Ashe, isn't it?
Charlotte Deacon @ yea she played Sarah Hills
That theme song tho!!!! So catching!
So bone tingling... 😱😱🙀
It was originally meant for military style show, helicopter vibes, but I bet the writer was happy where it ended up
Daniel lived up the road from my house, even being young kids ourselves we all left for school a little earlier to help search for him and on our way home we'd do the same. Just before this we were all playing in our cul de sac and 2 men tried getting one of my twin cousins into their car, we all ran towards the car and they drove off failing their attempt. We will never know who they were. The people round here from that time will never forget Daniel
god bless you all and daniel
This was in Beckton, wasn’t it?
Thanks Andy 👍
Great effort from sue cook
The first case was written about at some length by Paul Britton in his second book, "Picking up the Pieces". I think it must have influenced Colin Dexter, as well, because the final Inspector Morse story, "The Remorseful Day", has some similarities.
I have a book signed by CD - he was a great fan of H'wood actor Sir Cedric Hardwicke !!!!

Hi Andy, do you have crimewatch 1995-1999? i have 1984-1994 & would like to trade with you as part of my collection on dvd
I have some of them, although of course Redcard74 has put most of those on RUclips.
Michael Moore ... You have 1984 - 1994?? Does that mean you have the elusive Feb 1992 programme?? A LOT of us on here are very keen to see the infamous Michael Sams episode again.

Does anyone know if the man who abducted the five year old girl who was abducted in Newcastle was Robert black, the e fit looks like him
No it wasn't him. The man responsible was called David Edward Bryant of Cumbria. He was caught in 2012, aged 65, with DNA evidence that has come when a relative of his committed a crime and went on the DNA database. Bryant was found to have kidnapped two girls from Newcastle in the 1990s. The DNA also showed that he kidnapped and abused a 3 year old girl from Southampton and another girl from Gosport, both in the 1980s.
Andy - do you have Dec ‘91? Redcard says he does not have that episode.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll find out. Looks like it might be available.

They have DNA evidence now for the Janet Brown murder - a male did it but no match as yet. I wish they'd carry out familial genetic tracing like they do in the US. I know they do to a certain extent - such as if a close match is found on DNA database they may look into family members but its not to the same extent as looking at "23 & Me" etc for example.

Janet Brown case how about she was having an affair and wanted to end it? The man got angry and killed her. Didnt she ride an bmw that they didnt who it belonged to
That detail is weird. Apparently she was found handcuffed, burglars don't carry handcuffs.
Janet Brown rest in peace. Odd bits of "kit" used...,nothing stolen, could possibly been a hit? Glass cutter? Strange one

@@shootingbangers7375 It's called 'Picking up the Pieces' by Paul Britton. It has other cases he's worked on too - a good read!
@@Freshy009 Do you agree ?
@@IanP1963 Well the police no longer agree with Mr Britton's theory (although they once did), after another case review they felt it was more likely to be a bungled robbery, though nothing was touched (apart from the plug of a TV being pulled out of the socket). The 'robber' had also rifled through Janet's scuba diving gear. Ultimately,
With her being naked and having all her jewelly I'd lean to a sexual predator.
Who was the actress who played Janet Brown's daughter? Recognise her and can't put name to face lol
Her name escapes me but she was in EastEnders and one of the sitcoms on TV, the one with Zoe Wanamaker I think , she has a double barreled surname !?!
Daniela Denby Ashe
On re watching this video of the murder Janet Brown and that she had a project which was studying the link between infertility treatment and cancer in women later in life. I don’t think the Medical industry (Pharma) would like that kind of study. Anything or anyone coming between them and the huge amount of money those treatments make for them would be a threat I think.
Oh Fuck off to some retarded conspiracy channel will you
Seriously loony conspiracy theory rubbish. Why can't you accept that quite a lot of "everyday" people are actually quite nasty, and perfectly capable of committing crimes like that. Suggest you read Hannah Arendt's work on how banal evil is.
