criminal pathologist who had a hunch and detectives were intrigued by it and reexamined some forensic evidence the result has been decisive police now know that marchus killer also killed Allison day in East London late last year and is the same man who raped three other women did detective Chief superintendent Vincent mcfaden says he’s quietly confident the man will now be caught results in three out of four of our photoc call cases the best response we’ve had yet to photoc call two men have been charged with an armed robbery at Holloway in London and with attacks at six other building societies and a third man has now been arrested too two men have been charged with a theft from a Jewelers in Huntington that surprisingly was information from a viewer miles away in Glasgow and a

a BBC researcher we guarantee it’s in complete confidence you may hold the key to prevent another killing now to the first of this month’s reconstructions Anne lock a secretary at London weekend television had been married just a month when she vanished on her way home one Sunday night it’s a case that’s produced Big headlines and wild rumors tonight we’ll be showing the face of a man that police need to trace in connection with her disappearance our reconstruction starts 7 weeks ago at an’s home in Harford hello yeah yes it is oh hello Simon just after lunch on Sunday afternoon May the 18th anlock boss phone from London weekend television I’ll be in about about 4:00 Anne occasionally worked Sundays but the producer asked if she could work a little later than usual no I don’t mind of course don’t mind that’s fine all right then see you later bye an’s 86-year-old grandmother lives in the same house and she remembers all was normal when Anne left home by an I won’t be late Anne’s husband was in Dorset for the weekend planning a diving trip for their sub Aqua Club he was away till late that night this particular Sunday we had just sold her car and she would normally on a Sunday have driven all the way up to LWT where she could have parked her car but on this particular occasion because she had no car and the new one had not yet arrived she cycled to brookman’s Park Station brookman’s Park is a prosp halfer Village just north of Potter’s bar an was known around the village by her maiden name sunuk that Sunday Anne was only just back from her honeymoon and she had a noticeable suntan for miday excuse me what time’s the next train please to 43 43 yeah the ticket collector clearly remembers Anne arriving with her bike almost certainly she would have parked it in the station bike sheds and locked it an’s normal route to work took her on the Welling Garden City to London line that used to be called the GN electric it stops at places like Potter’s bar and Finsbury Park London weekend television on the South Bank an finished typing the London program scripts at around 8:30 on her way out she had to hand copies of the scripts to drivers who deliver them to the producers homes hello hello even you come to C these yeah I’m going to sh okay that’s yours there thank you thank you driver if no one is in please put through letter boook must be joking what do you think we’re going to do bring it back well you might do some drivers would I’ll see you thanks all night these were the last people known to have spoken to Anne no one seems to have seen her since assuming Anne went home she’d normally have walked to watero underground the York Road entrance there she would have waited on the bakero line platform and taken a Northbound train there are no sightings so far of Anne on this section of her journey nor at Oxford Circus where normally she changed onto the Victoria line at Finsbury Park Anne would have switched to British Rail probably the 938 to Welling Garden City which would take her to brookman’s park no one has come forward who saw Anne that Sunday evening but if you were there something might jog your memory a fellow passenger was behaving rather oddly it’s 9:38 on Sunday May the 18th nine stops down from Finsbury Park is brookman’s Park an’s home the bike shed is unlocked and the station is unmanned this teenager has come forward and remembers seeing someone about half an hour before that London train arrived you seen anybody with a NE gun no why somebody been shooting at pedestrians with an air gun I haven’t been offense to muffs by this time Anne’s husband Lawrence had got back from his boat trip I arrived home just before 10:00 um Nan met me on the drive and she was quite distressed as Anne hadn’t come home and she hadn’t phoned either I unhit the boat unloaded the car and drove back down to brookman’s Park Station I got there had to look in the bike shed to see if her bike was there and it wasn’t it it had already gone um I was about to leave when I saw a train coming in just after 10: the train Anne should have been on arrived at brookman’s Park this couple Mr and Mrs masterman home from a hiking trip assure that they were the only people to get off at brookman’s Park I phoned work to actually ascertain that she had left and they said that she had left quite some time earlier I found a couple of friends to see if she was around there I checked with the police to see if she had been involved in a road accident on her bike I then reported her missing to the police at Hatfield at dawn 5:00 on Monday morning police found Anne’s bike 60 yard from the station shed it was still padlocked from here halfer police have mounted a 7-week search of fields woods and Parkland near the brookman’s park railway station it’s so far taken over 16,000 man hours it’s turned up some slight evidence that anlock might have got as far as brookman’s Park that Sunday night her diary and address book were found along the footpath that crosses bluebridge Road inspector Paul dockley you personally found that address book but it was 700 yards away from the diary found by one of your colleagues that is quite correct now how do you account for that well in fact one of the considerations we’re making is that that bag that Tam was carrying which is a black zip up bag which we have here this is a replica yeah this is a replica could have been found and the items abandoned from that bag by some passer by after the event um now obviously we have made inquiries with the director public Pro prosecutions with regard to this and he’s agreed that there would be no police prosecution if any person comes forward saying they found that bag removed any of the contents or the money that was in it uh as long as they’re not involved with The Disappearance of ANL and of course it could have been somebody quite innocently finding a dress book whatever tossing it away think it was of no good to anybody you desperately need anybody who found the bag or the contents anything like that in that area now that teenager who saw that man acting strangely uh on the Sunday night brookman’s Park that was a a fairly strange piece of behavior well not only was there that but on the previous day the Saturday at4 to 12 in the evening some people had been to a dinner party in brookman’s park and returning to the station and there was a bench across the entrance to the platform which made them uh walk in a rather obscure angle onto the platform they were approached by a man he asked what time the last train was stood around for a few minutes and then he made his way out of the platform and up the stairs and out of view and he hasn’t been seen since so on two consecutive nights just before she disappeared around the time she disappeared there was somebody acting strangely you’ve got a description we’ve got a the first video fit of this man can you describe him to us yes this man is described as 35 to 40 years he’s 5′ 6 in tall of medium build he has a receding hairline and colar length brownish hair dark brown hair uh he was wearing a bomber jacket and dark colored jeans or trousers and it is believed that he just spoke with a local accent right now that’s an entirely new description and of course the man presumably need not have been local I mean brookman’s Park is right on the A1 and the M25 that is correct so he he could frankly have come from anywhere he could have done she’s been missing a long time now I do you think there’s any chance that an is still alive we are obviously very concerned for her safety and we do fear that she may have come by her death right okay well uh if you feel that uh you can help in any way please do call us detectives are waiting for you call right now on 0181 8055 or you can call the incident room at Welling Garden City that’s 07731 01 wellin Garden City 3101 well now for this month’s incident desk where we invite police to appeal to you directly here are superintendent David Hatcher and police Constable Helen Phelps last month we showed you this composite picture of a rapist he had a very unusual tattoo on his neck the cause we received included two positive sightings of the man on Barry Island in Wales and at Stratford on aen both sightings were at Fairgrounds and Essex police believe the man could now be anywhere in the country we must find him remember that tattoo and call us if you can help now to the northeast of England and the murder of Julie perigo Julie was a prostitute in the middle of may she was found stabbed to death in her home in Sunderland most of Julie’s neighbors neighbors were unaware of what she did she lived on the downhill estate at number 55 kidderminster Road her flat door faces away from the street so clients could visit discreetly usually she found those clients through these contact magazines she either placed ads herself or a friend passed clients on to her on Friday May the 16th at about half 1 Julie mentioned to her friend on the phone that she was due to see someone later old Jeff has rung he’s going to pop over to see me old Jeff might have been a former client of Julie and we have a possible description of him a man in his mid-60s about 5’9 with a large beer belly old Jeff was smartly dressed and well spoken and he has never been traced at 4:30 that day a neighbor called around but the blinds were down and there was no answer and at midnight a taxi was seen waiting outside Julie’s block of flats one man was in the car and another ran into it from Julie’s flat and drove the car away Julie was found dead a week later part from the two men in the taxi and old Jeff we need to trace this man he’s about 25 and user name Michael he may come from War’s end and has a slight stammer Michael was a client of Jules and we know that she met men from all over the north of England and Beyond through the contact magazines so if you were one of them or if you have any idea who Julie Pergo was with on the day she died please ring Us in confidence it’s over four months now since 16-year-old Kevin Hicks disappeared from his home in addisam South London on Sunday the 2nd of March a bitterly cold night Kevin set off to a nearby late night shop to buy some chocolate and a box of eggs he needed them for a cookery lesson next day he never returned Kevin was a quiet boy and rarely went out he just spent most of his savings on new stereo equipment and it’s highly unlikely that he would have planned to run away on the night he left home Kevin was wearing a red white and black bomber jacket jeans and red and white high-tech trainers the case hasn’t received much publicity Beyond London so tonight we want viewers from anywhere in the country to think whether you’ve seen Kevin Hicks for his family a call tonight is their best Hope on Saturday the 3rd of May the body of Sandra Court was found in a ditch near Bournemouth she’d been strangled two weeks later the detective in charge of the case received this Anonymous letter the writer claimed Sandra’s death was a complete and utter accident and that the person concerned was deeply unhappy hurt and in total shock it continues the only reason the person had not come forward is fear that their explanation will not be believed handwriting experts believe the writing has been disguised if you wrote this letter or if you have any idea who did it’s vital that you contact us and remember your call will be treated in strictest confidence next to Jeweler’s shop in kentish toown London the man standing by the pillar has just pulled a soff shotgun out of a Texas Home Care plastic bag he threatened the shop assistant and demanded cash and jewelry the staff thought he was about 5’9 the close-up gives us a fairly good view of his features but look closely at his manner he’s a snappy dresser and someone must re recognize him from this video he left the shop after 3 minutes with £10,000 worth of gold and diamonds in the carrier bag the alarm was raised immediately and only 18 seconds later two policemen arrived unfortunately they were just too late and he got away ring us now if you know him and we’ll catch him before he does it again and finally an armed robber with a passion for hats this man has robbed six building Societies in north and west London and got away with more than £5,000 he sometimes wears a flat cap sometimes a trilby and once a sort of white tennis cap but always some light colored snakes skin shoes on one occasion he had a bandage on his left hand if you recognize him or if you can help with any of tonight’s incident Des cases give us a ring here’s the number 0181 8055 0181 8055 and that jeweler in Kish Town mended this very necklace so do TR try and help well now to our second reconstruction tonight just over 7 weeks ago a 72-year-old woman was found dead in her home in Salford at first it seemed she died of natural causes but then it became clear that she’d been asphyxiated how or why is still a mystery Georgina Davis was known as Jean to her friends and neighbors and it’s with their help that we’ve been able to build up a picture of her life and the events which led up to her death our reconstruction takes place in Bron in Salford Jean lived in one of the newer houses in mrid Street her husband died 14 years ago and since she had no other family she lived alone morning Jean oh hello Nona it’s a nice day in h yes it is if it keeps up I’m thinking of taking the dogs over to annsdale Beach and giving them a bit of a run oh good you think go sleep tonight then Jan was a very house Proud Lady always keeping the house clean and tidy so we can span outside and in she was a very nice person to speak to um she was totally professional nurse if you can understand me she was a lady who had been nerthing all her life and that’s what she lived for actually Jean retired 18 months ago as matron of Bron house a home for disabled servicemen but she still did part-time private nursing her social life centered on the Griffin her local pub a few of her friends met there regularly on Tuesday evenings if she wasn’t working she often joined them Jean had one other regular evening appointment which is still unexplained the local butcher opposite the Griffin describes what he saw every week about 600 to 6:30 usually near to 6:30 Gina I was you to come and stand on this corner one night a week and the black escort she used to come from the direction of Littleton Road used to pick her up if the lights r on red it picked up on the cronwell roads side if they’re on green she crossed over and it picked up outside the telephone box and she always drove off in the direction of great CL Street apart from nursing Jean’s other great love was animals she had two dogs of her own which she adored and she took them for walks once or twice every day on Tuesday the 20th of May Jean took the dogs as usual to the old Salford Racecourse in the afternoon it was the last day any of Jean’s friends or neighbors saw her alive their statements provide us with a patchy account of that day I went to the post office that day C the number 13 bus back and then then I crossed over the road and saw jeene with her two dogs hi aene oh hello dear how are you I’m fine son how your parents get on she seem normal within herself quite happy ex we both walked together up until I reached our house and I presume J went then went to house I’ll tell my mom asking well it’d be about 5:45 to 6:00 uh it had been raining and it was a pretty sort of murky evening really I was aware of a car passing didn’t realize at the time that it was jeans’s Metro but um when I looked back I saw this car I had parked on the opposite side of the road and I saw Jean coming across the street she looked a bit angry actually so I thought well you know it’s not a kind of time to have a chat to her really and then I came into my drive and she sort of disappeared to go into hers that particular Tuesday night I’d been on the race course walking the dog on my way off I decided I’d call at jeans and invited out for the drink R was near enough 9:00 time give or take a bit either way and when I got into midle of the street I walked up to the house knocked on the door ran the bell and banged on the Wind It generally made her quite a no that so she’d know it was me and waited a few minutes and got no answer so I just presumed that she was at work and went home and got changed and fed the dog and I went across to the Griffin about 10:00 Town evening although it was Tuesday Jean didn’t join the others that night then at midnight a neighbor driving down Mildred Street noticed something slightly unusual there was a light on in Jean’s spare bedroom window the next afternoon when Jean was late for work her employer rang her and then drove to her home when she found the broken window she called the police Sergeant Nicholson yes can you r with 7160 at one Charlie mild streets sford 7 please they have a suspicious death Jean body had been found upstairs in her bedroom she died from some kind of pressure to her neck what’s the position up here now I was pretty tidy up there but I L to working on it now thank you very much there were no obvious signs of violence nor any struggle but gradually more details emerged which suggest Georgina Davis was murdered well Mr Patterson what makes you believe now that she was murdered well although initially there were very few signs of disturbance in the house we now know that certain property including a set of house keys with a Yale and a mortise key on them to are missing together with a handbag like this which Mrs Davis owned and a a blue K kol with a white stripe down the side and she’d been seen wearing that that very day she this is what yes this is what she was wearing that day I am particularly interested in finding this this item of uh clothing also missing from the house is a pair of green Wellington Boots uh similar to these so if anybody’s seen any of those items of clothing or some keys please to let you know yes that would be of extreme importance to me now Jean wasn’t a great socializer was it was she she was quite a private person didn’t talk about her private life which has given you quite a lot of problems what do you most need to know about her life well one thing has come to light uh she is known to have met someone once a week uh who owns a black a register Ford Escort vehicle this is the the car the butcher saw this is the car that pulled up the traffic lights near the butcher’s shop yes butcher isn’t sure exactly which no of the week it was no it could be either Tuesday Thursday or Friday uh our information at the moment uh we have no idea who owns this vehicle at all and it is important that uh we find that person and you didn’t think it was a patient she was going to see it’s unlikely because normally she was very well dressed when she went out in that particular evening right now for a few weeks before she died she hadn’t been making those regular visits on Tuesdays to the Griffin Pub had she where do you think she might have been instead well it’s possible that the black escort could be connected with this or we have also heard that she had other jobs that we haven’t found out about yet anyone who has employed Mrs Davis over recent months I would very much like to talk to right so you need any patients of genes in the recent weeks uh the driver of that escort black escort we saw and anyone else in particular that you’d like to trace yes uh outside the house at 7:00 a.m. on the Wednesday morning were two men wearing blue boiler suits these men had a van park nearby and they were seem to be looking at the house we have never traced those men and finally what’s vital is you need to know somebody who perhaps saw her between 4:15 and 6:00 on that Tuesday the 20th of May yes at 4:15 p.m. she came back from walking her dogs she was then seen coming back in her car at 6:00 p.m. I do not know where she was in between and I would like to find out perhaps somebody can solve the mystery thank you very much indeed this is the number to ring 0181 8055 0181 8055 if you can’t get through here or you’d rather phone locally police are waiting for your call at the cresant police station in Salford that’s 061 85 5151 061 85 5151 now to our Aladdin’s cave property that might be yours and our first 2 years crime watch VI have reclaimed hundreds of treasured family heirlooms and over a quarter of a million pounds worth here’s John blle thank you Nick well as it’s our second anniversary we have two collections tonight the first is of clocks here’s the earliest one which is rather a good late Regency mahogany case bracket clock I love this sort of swept Pagoda top look at this fine quality foliate carving I really rather like that typical 1830s from about 1880 much later in the century we’ve got a marry one here engraved and ex in the classical Manner and another type of marquetry is here in this case using marquetry of buou which is brass and torto shell to give this wonderful colorful effect but in the 1880s manner here in the Revival period that’s a pretty little chat same period but a different style supp if you really want the best one of the revivals then it’s got to be the one at the end a marvelous looking clock leaving a fair old gap on somebody’s mantle piece would be the garniture at the end which well nearly right this is actually quite an important set and would have had a pair of candelabra to match the panels of copper are silver guilt on a bronze type background now another unusual set is this here which has the metal encasing porcelain panels again from the turn of the century over here we’ve got a very good skeleton clock and that leads us on to our second collection for tonight which is stamps now curiously this is a stamp collection without a theme they range from the Vatican first covers to Penny Reds to most interesting of all some Polish prisoner of war camp stamps which were used in 1944 and 1945 now we believe these belong to one person who may have worked for the mobile Shipping Company some of the first day covers were sent to their offices in Peg’s house and there are copies of the in-house magazine filled with stamps now some of these some of this collection is extremely rare for example that block if it’s genuine is worth over £3,000 so while you’re busy trying to think of anyone who might help with that I’m going back to wind up the clocks well the number once again if there’s anything you recognize is 0181 8055 0181 8055 our final reconstruction involves a crime that’s callous and Reckless in the extreme it’s an UNS subtle armed robbery in which two people were shot at In Cold Blood it happened 5 weeks ago in a busy shopping street in Birmingham it’s 6:30 a.m. on Monday June the 2nd the national Westminster in Mosley was expecting some computers to be delivered to the bank and had asked the police to clear a parking space this man David Bishop a bank clerk arrived at 10: to 9: later he’d recall he’d seen a blue Ford Escort parked outside the bank the bank opened and it was business as usual in Alcester road for the rest of the morning then at A4 1 4 miles away a security Express van left its Depot in hansworth their first job that afternoon was a routine pickup from the Mosley National Westminster about the same time a blue Ford Escort was again outside the bank with no one in it despite the parking cones it’s 20 minutes later 25 to2 it seems someone was now sitting in the blue Ford Escort The Collection routine took 5 or 10 [Applause] minutes the bag contained 13,000 get on F off away from the from this Point passes by gave Chase that’s that’s the car okay we follow him a local businessman had also seen the shooting the robbers swerved into Oxford Road almost colliding with another car [Applause] [Music] [Applause] let’s see half a mile down Oxford Road and the escort was getting [Music] away the robbers then turned into Grove Avenue as the couple in the Metro approached the junction they saw the escort had come to a stop don’t get too close remember he’s got it good okay but maybe the gunman had got out [Applause] at this point the BMW took over the pursuit but the escort was getting out of sight in fact at Cotton Lane the escort turned into an empty lockup garage with the driver hiding the pursuing cars drove straight [Music] past a woman opposite was suspicious of the man’s furtive Behavior hey what are you doing it’s private property it’s private property this is hey stop that man can you stop that that man stop him no one helped and the driver made off in the direction of School Road MC Williams no one helped there but by Havens you’ve got some very courageous people in Birmingham chasing after them like that what happened to the security guards one of them had a miraculous escape the bullet passed through the seam of his trousers but the other man was seriously injured the bullet entered his left leg and unfortunately he’s still walking about on crutches in fact I had three shots being fired there yes the third shot we think hit a vehicle coming into town in towards Birmingham just by the driver’s mirror and again the driver had a miraculous Escape I know it’s not a very legalistic phrase but I mean frankly this guy man’s behaving like a Nutter isn’t he yes he is really have we got any description of him we must have from the people who were chasing him yes these have been made up um from Witnesses who saw them these are artist Impressions they are indeed yes this this man is about 510 6 foot aged 35 to 45 what is very noticeable about him is that he’s got a hairy chest and a heavy gold chain around his neck which is shown on the picture there right that’s the gunman what about the driver the driver is a younger man uh aged 25 26 only about 5’6 to 5′ 7 slim with a very pale complexion right you’ve brought some things with you that were found in the uh in the escort as a son on that day Monday June the 2nd uh if you look at the back you can see uh that it’s uh talking about the Brazil Spain match the Sunday previously has this jumper somebody left in yes which uh not particularly spectacular and uh two screwdrivers that were left in the bag they on exhibit bags here where was the car stolen from the car was stolen from pet Street in London Southeast 18 uh 36 hours before the robbery was committed from London so the robbers may not come from Birmingham at all could come from anywhere that’s right people might have seen this Chase through Birmingham it was after all fairly spectacular these three cars uh it started in oler Road of course the national Westminster Bank the car then swerved uh down into Oxford Road right into Grove Avenue that’s where we think as I understand it you think the gunman got out yes that’s right and the escort then went on round the corner and uh parked in that lockup garage there that’s right now where that car stopped in Grove Road you think the gunman might have got into another car is that right or at least there was another car seen there that’s right from witnesses that we’ve now interviewed we can put a a metallic green 7 series BMW as being parked in the scene with a lone male driver sitting in the car do we have any descript of of the driver in that car yes we do uh he’s about aged about 40 with a tan complexion dark hair a very pointed nose uh nearly hooked and he got a very noticeable gold bracelet or watch on his left wrist right it’s the sort of crime that frankly from experience of crime watch other villains might call in to help uh if it’ll tempt you there’s a ,300 reward £1,300 if you can help please do call us 0181 8055 is the number here or you can Woodbridge Road police station in Mosley on 021 44943 let me give you

was on and the Burglar Alarm was off he climed climed in through the dressing room window explored the bedroom and Under The Dressing Table he found this or one exactly like it it’s a Louis Von
