Always the case with the past - the further the time passes, the stranger it seems. You're right though - there were a lot of things wrong back then. There was a kind of underlying harshness in society, particularly in the 80s. Britain had the highest level of violent crime in Europe during the 80.

People were much more intolerant and quite a bit more naive in many ways. We've become more aware of a lot of things now. I dare say though that in 30-40 years time, people will think we're very strange now.
Always watched this programme every week. I remember my mum phoning in once after the murders in Pembrokeshire. We had seen a man fitting the description of a suspect in a service station in Carmarthenshire.
In the mock line up the actor Wayne Goddard back in 1985 starred with Roger Daltrey in Buddy on the BBC. It was filmed at my old school Cavendish Comprehensive in Eastbourne & the home scenes were filmed in St Leonards on Sea. Some of my old friends are in Buddy. It is worth watching & all 5 episodes are on RUclips.
Fantastic isn’t it. And even the one or two blanks there were have now been filled in! Maybe eventually we will be able to see every episode of CW, or at least close to. A lot of ones from later years are already out there.
@@Wadworth6XLadI know Yes it would be amazing to see every remaining episode from May 1991-December 2004 at least the first 20 years mainly so I can remind myself in 2004 uploads when I was aged 12 and 13 blushing at a very attractive Rav Wilding! 😂😂🤣🤣😂

Was the boy from the obscene publications act ever identified? Shame it took such a long time to finally resolve the Vicky Hamilton case. What that poor family must have gone through for years, not knowing what happened to her. Peter Tobin is an absolute monster.

@@rage707 Have you studied the kind of man John was or looked at the FB tribute site to him or the vid on the FB tribute site from an old documentary about his case or seen the nice supportive comments about him from friends on there ?

Please stop trying to cause argument where there's none. Are you bored or something ?
Fear Dheas There is even a theory that he was “Bible John”, the only known cases involving Tobin are when is he was in his sixties, which is unusually late for a serial killer. 🤔
The social experiment was good i remembered after the acted crime. I recalled the White Ford Escort but the identity parade was abit difficult K was juggling between number 2 and 7. It just goes to show how difficult it is for the witness and victims accounts of the crime. For the police to piece together photo-fit e-fits cars descriptions etc. It's amazing how e-fits, artist impressions and photo-fits lead to convictions with memories being some what vauge and fuzzy a while after the crime was committed .
Because he’s realised she knows what he looks like knows what his car looks like and that he’s a cab driver in the area. He probably lives in Chiswick aswell. By going back to her house it’s an intimidating factor letting her know he knows where she lives.
The phrase half caste wouldn't have raised an eyebrow back then; you can't judge historical events through a modern day lens - history doesn't work like that.
Poor Vicky Hamilton that evil piece of shit Peter Tobin got his hands on her. I'm surprised this case didn't get a reconstruction it was very high profile.
Her remains were not far from my house-30 minutes or less away along with those of Dinah McNicol who went missing five months after this while hitchhiking home from a music festival . Tobin it seems had planted the purse there to mislead detectives & it worked. Can remember there was also some talk that she had posed for some underage fetish photos for some weirdo who was a suspect in her murder
Also have to bear in mind with witnesses, people see things from different perspectives I'm 5ft tall so some one of 5ft 7 would be talk to Mr whereas to someone of 6ft 4 they'd be short.

How many time was it featured on Crimewatch? Did they ever do a reconstruction of Vicky. I am shocked how brief her disappearance was featured back in 1991.
yes there is a full Reconstruction on Vicky in 1992 and 1994 there are features and later in the series this first one was just weeks after she went missing
@@ryandaly1146 Same for Lee Boxell in 1988-we have to remember that a lot of people go missing & there might not be enough at the time to justify a full segment-this was less than 2 months after she went missing & there were seemingly no witnesses, or any that had come forward at that point.
That is correct, however it could arguably be a cherished number plate. Vehicles newer than the reg year can display older plates, but not the other way around (legally speaking).
In this reconstruction it says John Green was found by a friend. In other reports the person is said to have been his 'partner'. I'm wondering if (given the argument the neighbour overheard) there was another woman? Was he killed in a jealous rage? Seems like in many of these cases the victim has an unknown secret life, that would be seen as completely out of character for them.
