Crimewatch UK, 4 Haunting Unsolved Disappearances (with Updates!)
In this episode we look at the unsolved disappearances of Suzy Lamplugh, Claudia Lawrence and Lee Boxell. We also look at the case of Mark Tildesley who’s body was never found.

It’s now nearly 12 weeks since Susie Lampo left her estate agents office to meet a client and never returned perhaps the unusual nature of the crime perhaps the fact that 25-year-old Susie was such an attractive outgoing girl kept the Press constantly interested in her case in fact the stories about what happened

To Susie are so many and varied that the facts have become somewhat obscured by rumor and gossip the Reconstruction you’re about to see is based entirely on what is known on police evidence and eyewitness reports it begins in cutney Southwest London on the morning of the day suie

Disappeared Monday the 28th of July Susanna was getting up in her flattened Israeli Road in Putney in the news the Queen’s private secretary has rejected claims by the Sunday Times that there have been differences between the palace and the Prime Minister over Mrs Thatcher’s policies in a letter to this morning’s

Time he says the Queen’s press secretary Michael sh did speak to Susie shared her flat with a lodger Nick Bryant hi s I’m off oh hi you’re up Hy would you like come te before you go I can’t I’ve got 8:30 meeting this morning

You going to be in SM yeah I expect so I’ll see you later oh by the way have you left the iring board up yes it’s in the sitting room great okay see you tonight bye bye have a nice Day just after 8 :30 Susie set off for work in her company car it was only a 10-minute drive from home to her office in the fullham road hello this is Susanna lamp from Sturgis in fulum did you receive our details that we sent through to

You oh good did you see anything Susanna had worked for Sturgis estate agents as a negotiator for just over a year the other two it’s a two bedroom house with her job involved taking on new clients and showing them round properties sometimes she’d have as many as six houses to show in a

Day okay on this Monday she left the office at 20 to1 and as was often the case she told no one where she was going or when she’d be back as well as her own keys and purse she took with her property details and keys for a house in shal’s Road number

37 exactly what happened after Susie left her office isn’t clear there’s no doubt she went to Char’s road but in fact there are three streets in Fulham which provide vital sightings in Char’s Road Three Witnesses saw Susanna outside number 37 the first witness was on his way home

He saw suie standing in the Gateway she seemed to be waiting for someone 10 minutes after that the owner of the house next door heard someone leaving number 37 that brief Glimpse led to this artist’s impression at about the same time Nicholas Doyle was on his way to the nearby North End Road

Market do remembers the man was carrying a bottle of champagne with ribbons on it from his description police later produced this identic picture of the man but strangely su’s car was never seen in chl’s Road a number of people did see it a mile away in stevenage

Road it’s a 5-minute drive from Sturgis and it was exactly 5 minutes after she left the office that the first sighting came at 12:45 as Wendy Jones was leaving home to go shopping she noticed the white Ford Fiesta parked immediately opposite her house just before 2 a taxi driver who

Lived close by also noticed the car by 3:30 Wendy Jones was back and the car was still in exactly the same place slightly overlapping the entrance to a neighbor’s garage then at a quarter 5 the garage owner Richard manah saw it too other Witnesses remember the car in

The same position it seems it was there all afternoon but in a Third Street in Fulham there’s conflicting evidence a sighting of Susie and her car the Fulham Palace road is about half a mile from stevenage Road at about 2:45 Barbara witfield a friend of Susanna’s was cycling to a

Business appointment she has no doubt she saw Susie driving towards her she waved but Susie was talking to her passenger and didn’t see her I’m sure it was Susie cuz I knew her very well um at the time I was convinced it was her car as well although it

Conceivably could be one that was just similar quite common I didn’t get a chance to look at him because she was turned towards him um and anyway I wasn’t I was concentrating on her rather than him by 3:30 that afternoon Sturgis manager Mark giron and his staff were becoming concerned by suzanna’s absence

In her desk diary they noticed an appointment for 12:45 to start off with I personally went round to 37 Char’s road to see if she perhaps got herself locked in or something like that after there was no joy there we phoned around between us loaded the local hospitals to see if she’d been

Involved in an accident with her car or anything like that we continued to do that actually for a few hours because obviously she could have gone to Putney or where she lived so we checked with those hospitals um finally before actually officially reporting her missing to the police we phoned her

Mother just to check to see if she’d gone home she hadn’t gone there and obviously by that stage we were very concerned and phoned at about 5:30 to the police to report her Officially Missing be on the lookout for a wide Ford Fiesta registration Mark be Bravo

396 GF a alpha and November it’s concerned the abduction from at 9:00 police began a street search for su’s car it was still parked in the same place in stevenage Road full receiving go ahead I found this white Ford Fiesta B Bravo 396 golf ala November in stevenage Road

Can you inform the CID please the driver’s door was unlocked and inside was her purse but neither her own Keys nor the keys to 37 shal’s road have yet been found the driving seat was pushed back from Susie’s normal driving position this picture was taken on Saturday night just two days before she

Disappeared Susie Lampo has now been missing for 81 days well detective superintendent Carter one of the strangest things is that as we can see from the map she parked her car in stevenage Road and yet she was going to an appointment in charo’s Road why do you think that was

That is right it takes uh exactly 5 minutes from where she parked a car on Steven’s road to chery’s Road and we know that she arrived there or the car was definitely seen at 12:45 what about the sighting of her the third sighting at about 2:45 by a friend

Of hers in the Fulham Palace Road how do you account for that well miss Whitford is the only witness throughout this inquiry who actually know so of course her sighting has has to be taken very seriously it’s complete mystery it was the last time she was seen alive too

That is the last time yes what about the keys to 37 Char’s Road and the property details they’ve never been found have they no when she left the company she took keys to the property of number 37 on this distinctive yellow fob we still haven’t found that

So perhaps somebody might have seen that um could we have you a description again of the man that Mr Doyle saw I GA you’re much happier with the description you got from him than perhaps the one that got more publicity of Mr Kipper earlier on yes we we’re looking for a type I’m

Asking that people look for a type he’s aged 25 to 30 he has a dark complexion and we believe probably a broken nose he has dark hair which is swep back and he was immaculately dressed in a Charco dark suit do you think Susie knew him

Well the fact that the car was at stevenage and Sher and sherald’s she was seeing later indicates that she probably did know him yes now the other another important thing is that a couple were seen arguing fiercely in that area weren’t they by a man who hailed a cab a

Taxi cab later on yes between two and 230 a taxi was held by a man who has a full beard and a mustache and he told the taxi driver he just witnessed a couple having an argument now I’m appealing to that man to come forward and of course I would

Like to eliminate the couple who in fact were having the argument he might have Vital Information might he could well have Vital Information yes now this case has had so much publicity as I said earlier on a lot of people have come forward to help there’s been a lot of

Rumor and gossip really what do you think that tonight’s reconstruction might achieve that all this publicity hasn’t so far well it’s nearly 12 weeks since Suzie disappeared now I’m absolutely convinced that someone somewhere out there knows and can help us and I do earnestly appeal for that

Person to come forward we just need that one call Mr Carter thank you very much to B please call us if you have anything that might help it’s 0181 8055 here to the studio 0181 8055 or you can call the inquiry headquarters and that is 01741

6212 that’s London 741 6212 and ask for the incident Room 6 weeks before his arrest John Cannon made this video for a dating Agency in Bristol it was a control confident performance yes I have a dislike of inflated egos um people who are they look at me I’m great type I don’t like that right I I can’t handle

That sort of inner weakness so what was Canon looking for physically somebody like Stephanie be who’s that no it’s actually she’s um I think she’s in Dallas Crest or something but no no joking apart um some natural yeah nice pleasant somebody with character um I’m just looking now I’m in a sedimentary

Period yeah where financially and career-wise I’ve achieved what I’ve wanted to achieve yeah I’m just now looking for what the next thing to Achieve I But first us tonight Claudia Lawrence it is now nearly 3 months since Claudia you’ll remember of course the 35-year-old chef from New York vanished Without a Trace and despite detectives working around the clock her disappearance is still a complete mystery the police fear the worst that Claudia May indeed have been

Murdered but we simply don’t know and you can imagine it’s agonizing for her family tonight Claudia’s mom dad and sister talk about living in this sort of limbo desperate for any answers our film starts with frankly extraordinary images of Claudia’s home it’s just as it was

Preserved as a crime scene and a moment in Time good afternoon name Peter Lawrence concerned about my daughter fine and what’s your daughter’s name [Applause] Claudia concern grows for a 35-year-old woman who’s been missing for a week police here in York are saying that The Disappearance of Claudia Lawrence is completely and utterly out of character she was

Last the investigation is now being formally classified as one of suspected murder we’re distraught and we need your help it’s just been a a living nightmare not knowing what’s happening despite the headlines and huge media interest we still don’t know why Claudia Lawrence vanished from York 11

Weeks ago for someone so close to her family her disappearance just doesn’t make sense you’re in shock you don’t believe it um you don’t believe it’s happening it happens to somebody else there are terrible moments uh I can sit at home on my own and I can just burst out

Crying detectives have pieced together Claudia’s last known movements right I’m off tomorrow in the hope they will give some clue as to what happened to her let’s start with Wednesday March the 18th the last day Claudia was seen she just finished her regular early shift at York University CCTV has a leaving the

Building at 2:30 in the weeks before Claudia disappeared she started to walk to and from work the roof to her house was about 2 miles and that Wednesday was no different she set off home on foot about half halfway back a colleague Sora her and offered her a lift Hey Jo Claudia was dropped off at a door by now it was about 10 to 3 there’s a question about what she did next about 305 a friend passed her walking back towards her house yeah she wasn’t on the local shop CCTV so where was she it could be

Crucial the next time Claudia’s on the radar it’s about 8:00 p.m. when she texted a friend then just before 8:30 her mom called hi yeah yeah good thanks I’m watching it now now we can’t be sure but we think she was at home when she took that call

She sounded cheerful and relaxed all right then yeah I will do bye but that phone call was the last time we know for sure that Claudia was alive and well the following morning she failed to turn up for work at 10:00 her manager called her mobile but there was no answer

Then at 12:08 her phone powered down it either ran out of battery or someone switched it off Claudia was supposed to meet friends that evening but didn’t turn up when she still didn’t answer her phone on Friday morning they got worried I found Claudia’s dad Peter uh because he has a

Key to the house and I asked him if he wouldn’t mind coming over to the house and letting himself in uh to make sure everything was all right really I was just worried to to death quite honestly um and even more so when I uh went

Through and found that she wasn’t in the house and uh nobody had seen or heard of it uh basically since the Wednesday um that’s was just weird I just find it hard to accept that people just vanish Into Thin Air and um that’s what I can’t

Get my head around there must be people out there that seen something suspicious or who know something that’s Happened so why didn’t Claudia turn up to work that Thursday morning there’s no sign of a struggle here in her house her passport and clothes are still here in fact the only things missing are a Blue Rock sack her mobile phone and probably a set of Chef’s whites the three things

She’d normally take to work with her which suggests she set off for the univers it is normal but never Arrived we know a cyclist saw a couple on melo’s Gate Bridge around 5:35 that morning about the time Claudia would have passed this spot the cyclist described the man as skinny 5 fo 5 to 5′ 6 wearing a dark hoodie dark combat trousers and smoking a cigarette with left Hand half an hour later near the University an early morning commuter passed a vehicle parked up on the verge the passenger door was open a man and woman near it looked like they were arguing we think the man was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up was it the

Same couple we just don’t know nor can be sure the woman was Claudia but if it was who was the man she was with could it be this man on CCTV early that same morning near the back of Claudia’s house his behavior seems a bit strange he disappears then one minute

Later he walks back there could be an innocent explanation but detectives need to know who he is and what he was doing police believe something terrible happened to Claudia Lawrence perhaps at the hands of someone that she knew whil much is still unclear what is certain is

That there are people out there with answers they need to share them somebody out there does know something and at the moment they’re not saying it’s almost unbearable not knowing you try and wonder what’s happened to her you don’t want it to be anything unpleasant so then you try and

Block that out of your mind I try not to think about it too much and that helps you cope I guess there’s just something missing there very important thing missing Claudia well I’m joined Now by detective superintendent Ray Galloway who’s heading up this big investigation as Claudia sister said there it’s it’s very

Difficult to imagine that somebody just vanishes off the face of the Earth Without a Trace what do you think happened well it’s now 11 weeks since Claudia disappeared there’s been no proof of life I’m treating this investigation as one of suspected murder now there there’s something you want to

Talk about tonight that you haven’t spoken about in public before you think it could be the key that there are areas of Claudia’s life that are delicate to say the least and definitely complex tell us what it is you want to see as the investigation has developed it’s apparent that some of claud’s

Relationships had an element of complexity and mystery to them I’m certain that some of those relationships were not known to a family or a friends I need to know the details of those relationships in fact I do know details of some of them and I would urge anybody

That was involved in a relationship with Claudia or knew of one that that a friend a colleague a neighbor was involved in please if they’re going to be discreet and if they want to actually allowable us to deal with it in a controlled way in a confidential way

They need to pick up that phone and give the call tonight you see some people might think they’re protecting Claudia and they’re protecting Claudia’s reputation but it’s far far more important than that if indeed we are talking here about murder I mean you you do want to hear from people who even

Have suspicions about other people that would be useful to you at this stage absolutely I’m not here to to judge claud’s relationships I’m here to investigate them I need people to share that information with me um we saw frankly I think those images of Claudia’s house are quite haunting it

Seemed to me to be very tidy do you think that she stayed there and the night in question the evidence would suggest that she left the following morning what we don’t know is whether she stayed there the previous night or that she was at somewhere else if people

Know that information please share it with me all right I want you just to take people through those key sightings because they could be very important the first one was around about 5:35 a.m. we showed it on our construction take us through it again just to remind people

Of the details the first sighting is on melo’s Gate Bridge at 5:35 a gentleman cycling past and he sees a man in a black hoodie and a cigarette in his left hand and and what about the second sighting then the second sighting and we don’t know it’s the same couple right in

Fact on neither occasion do we know it’s Claudia but the the gentleman driving past and he he’s a coupl in an argument on University Road we need to know who that man was and that was early on the morning of Thursday the 19th of March you also have this very interesting CC

TV footage it’s taken from relatively far away but it could be crucial that’s right this is CCTV and it’s of the property just in which Claudia’s house is located that man is walking around the back of the property of Claudia’s house and he actually comes out about a

Minute later it’s 10: to 6:00 in the morning on the morning that Claudia should have been at work we know she wasn’t at work she could have been at the house on that occasion we need to know who that man is we certainly do need to know Ray thank you very much for

Updating us it sounds to me like the phones are already very very busy it might be calls to you they might be important we reckon that someone out there knows what happened to Claudia if that person is you please call now I you just saw what not knowing is doing to

Claudia’s family it is destroying them there is also you may be interested to know a £10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest or conviction there’s our number up on the screen 0500 600600 you might want to remain anonymous as Ray said that’s fine too you can call the independent charity

Crim Stoppers I’ll give you their number it’s 0800 treble 5 treble 1 if you want to take another look at the Reconstruction just to Bone up on the details it’s online bbc.co.uk SL Crimat Is It was about this time last year that the papers were headlining The Disappearance of 7-year-old mark tilsley from wokingham despite a huge police inquiry there’s still no trace of Mark it’s it’s a long shot perhaps hoping for new Witnesses a year on after all hundreds of people have already tried to

Help but TS Valley police have asked us to use the anniversary which was 2 weeks ago now to film a reconstruction and see if we could still jogger memory and provide a new and vital clue Mark’s home is in wokam 10 miles from reading in Barkshire the fair was back in wokingham this weekend on the same ground at Wellington Road where it’s been each May or June for 50 years Mark’s home too was in the center of wokingham the fair was a 5-minute bike ride away it’s 50 m away on Friday the 1st of

June last year at 7:20 in the morning aori stops for a hitchhiker on the a30 walkingh yeah the driver Shane Northway picked up his passenger 20 mi east of Salsbury just outside Stockbridge he remembers the man well he had a bit it was little bit of Oda there

And you could see been sleeping rough he had there was dirt around the color of his shirt his M was really filthy on the inside red lining where you going mate I’m making my way around country looking for Work he was in the with me for about 2 and 3/4 hours and I eventually dropped him off just past the fair ground in woken him he can drop me off here mate if you like it do I’ll just pull down the road Out The Way of the traffic all

Right when the man got out he headed back up Wellington Road towards the fairground it was a busy time on the main road and someone must have seen him bye-bye Mark see you later Mark’s mother left home at 5:15 that evening to go to work she hasn’t seen Mark since

Bye Mark left the house half an hour later telling his father he was going to the fair he was a quiet Shy Boy often to be seen on his bike in the Town Center the tiger jacket he wore that day was eye-catching and distinctive eyewitness accounts confirm

That Mark was at the fair by 6:30 that evening two witnesses recall that a man appeared to be watching Mark Police are also certain that an hour and a quarter later Mark was still at the fair now on the dodin it’s possible but the man who was with him was the same man who earlier had been watching him he was about 6t tall with scruffy hair very similar to

The man dropped off earlier in the day by the Lorry driver except this man had Glasses about 8:00 p.m. Mark leaves the fairground with the same man though he left his bike behind Mark appears to have left the fair quite willingly correct for two points challenge or tell me your so it was this man David Hine who may have been the last person to see Mark tilsley that

Friday evening if it was Mark he was in langur Road apparently with the same man he’d been with at the fair Mark has never been seen again his mother still refuses to believe the worst I still say someone’s got him and he’s they living rough or something

Because it’s a mother’s instinct I know he’s all right well we still hope so detective superintendent Tony Miller is now in charge of this investigation now How likely is it that The Hitchhiker the man there at the fair and the man we’ve just seen in langar Road are one and the same

Man in fact quite frankly we can’t say positively what I can say is I’m fairly sure that the man seen at the fair and the man in langra Road are one and the same you will recall the description given of the man who had the lift by the

Lorry driver it’s not dissimilar to the man at the fairground in fact in fact he was about 45 to 60 years of age he had gray hair Browning and indeed he was described as having a long nose this was a feature about him and also a beard

Growth which indeed matched the man who was given the lift now the man seen at the fair had Spectacles on so if we look at our video fit we can see what he might look like with glasses on right now The Hitchhiker in the Lorry wasn’t wearing any glasses was he indeed

He wasn’t and indeed the man in langra Road wasn’t but other than that the descriptions are very very similar so what you want to do is for the man who was hitchhiking that ride in the Lor that day to at least come forward so you can eliminate him indeed we would yes

Well if we can recap on his movements that day the Lorry driver picked up the hitchhiker on Friday the 1st of June and that was just west of Stockbridge and at 7:20 in the morning they then traveled up the a30 and along the M3 and reached

Woking him at about 10 to 10 again that morning and the driver dropped him off in Wellington Road near to the fair there now do we know where he went after that we don’t but perhaps we could start by going back to the commencement of that journey and you will recall that he

Had a tachograph in his hand we can see it there as the viewers can see the reason I take you back there is because indeed this man may have been a lorry driver if he was uh other persons may have given him a lift from woking him if

In fact they did we’d like them to come forward we should say that anybody who hit left with one of the tachograph is saying to a Lor driver that that he’s another lry driver indeed that gives the indication yes uh in addition to that there was a conversation by this man

With the Lorry driver to the effect he was looking for casual labor fruit picking I’d like to hear from anyone who gave employment of that nature to a man of that description so somebody might remember picking up somebody with a tachograph because that was quite distinct indeed they might as we’ve

Emphasized with if nothing else we want to eliminate this man from the inquiry right now you’ve traced so far about 400 people who are actually at the fair on that day how many more people do you think you need to to see how many more people were there I can’t answer how

Many people were there but what I can say is I want to speak to every person who went at the fair that evening indeed let us be the judge of what they saw as to whether it’s of evidential value please come forward and contact us and

Just once again we’ve seen the jacket in the film let’s have one more look at it youve brought it a fact simil of the jacket in with the tiger Motif indeed that’s uh the jacket very similar to the jacket that Mark was wearing and that might indeed attract the attention of

Persons that night right so to sum up you need to find The Hitchhiker on that day the one who hitched ride in the Lorry anybody else who was at the fair that day to come forward who hasn’t come forward already and the man in langra Road who seen in

Langra road towards the evening indeed we would in addition to that I would also like to say as a parent as I’m sure many of the viewers are parents we can only imagine the anguish this family have faced over the last 12 months we will pursue the inquiry relentlessly

Please if anyone has any information additional to what we’ve asked for please come forward and contact us thank you very much indeed and if you think you know anything that might help us to find Mark here’s the number again 01 8185 or you can ring TS Valley police at reading on

0734 585 tre1 that’s 0734 the code for reading 585 Tr1 For Now on the 10th of September 198 8 15-year-old Lee boxel vanished a massive campaign was launched to find Lee and his parents held on to the hope that he would one day walk back in the door of their home in Chim in Su but 25 years on

And detectives have a new theory about where Lee went that day and what may have happened to [Applause] Him he Lov loved music and he loved football and he’d even uh got a little little type recorder where he’d um uh act out part of uh being a news reporter hello good evening and goodbye he was a very kind boy very shy done his paper around which all boys

Do we love him and we still love him if he’s out there this is Mr Lee Buel so news for today this is Sutton just on greater London’s Southern border with s it’s close to where teenager Lee boxo lived with his parents and younger sister he was a popular 15-year-old school boy

Obsessed with football but in September 1988 he failed to return home after spending a satday yesterday morning with a friend he was last spotted here on Sutton High Street Lee and his friends spent a couple of hours that morning September the 10th hanging around the town center

See they’d gone their separate ways at 1: p.m. and Lee’s parents had expected him home around 5: we thought he went to the football 5:00 went 6:00 and so on I would was worried my husband just thought well maybe missed the bus train but I was really worried we was ringing the place

And hospitals and everything trying to find out what’s happened to him police in London say they’re now extremely concerned for the safety of the 15-year-old school boy Lee boxel the theory that Lee may have gone to watch a football match on his own was plausible and police launched a campaign

Involving star players calling on football fans to come forward if they’d spotted Lee but throughout there was confusion about which game he would have gone to and despite the publicity there wasn’t a single positive sighting of Lee in or around any of the football Grounds but Lee had been seen at 2:20 that afternoon on Sutton High Street which meant it was unlikely he would have made it to any of the football grounds for the 3:00 kickoff despite no further sightings his parents tried to remain positive we always hoped that he would

Be alive and well and would come home is the Nightmare and especially now it’s cold I think if he’s out there is he cold you know if he’s is he sleeping Ral is he you know I think all all different scenarios of what Could Happen what he

Would be like now but detectives also had to look at the possibility that Lee had been murdered and following new information officers began to formulate a theory centered around this church in Chim back in 1988 an Annex of St Dunston’s church was used by local youngsters as an informal youth club

Nicknamed The Shed it was well known locally as a place to hang out and over a decade hundreds of kids would have passed through its doors including Lee the original Club was burnt down a few years ago and replaced by this building now officers urgently need to

Speak to anyone who spent time here back in 1988 so they can confirm their belief that Lee was here the day he disappeared Lee doesn’t appear on any database is he’s never opened or accessed a bank account he’s never come to notice of police in his own name or

Any other name and I believe he came to some harm that day or shortly afterwards now your investigation is looking at a pedophile connection isn’t it yes that’s a significant line of inquiry we know young people used to gather at the shed and we know there were pedophiles in that area committing

Offenses at the time Lee went missing and had he gone there that s Saturday afternoon he may have discovered something that led to his Disappearance Lee’s bedroom remains exactly as it was the day he went missing his school uniform is still hanging on the Wardrobe but now his parents are beginning to face up to the possibility that Lee didn’t simply vanish that day but was killed we want somebody to come

Forward and put our minds at rest to what happened to him we can’t begin to grieve until we know for sure that Lee is not alive I we obviously we hope he still alive but that hope is fading after 25 Years well I’m joined Now by DC I Nick skola um that youth club it would be fair to say would it Nick that some of this young boy’s friends might not even know that it was somewhere that he went pretty regularly yes that’s right we have to remember this was a time before

Social networking science before everybody had mobile phones and indeed his friends didn’t appear to know that he went there it was the shed was a a place where young people could go and drink and smoke if they want to do it with no real supervision and he would

Have known an entirely different group of people there and it’s that group of people I’d like to get in contact with us now additionally we were given some old photographs taken in the shed at that time and I’d be really interested in seeing any other photos that people

Might have tucked away in their attics now when Matthew was talking to you there you mentioned pedophiles you think that that’s relevant do you we do yes we know there were pedophiles living in the area at that time and committing offenses and if Lee’s disappearance is linked to

Something that he saw on that Saturday afternoon in 1988 in the shed or in the surroundings of the shed um their evidence will be vital they made themselves have been victims I’d urge them to come forward I mean you mentioned there 1988 you know 25 years ago that’s a long time have

There been significant developments recently that have really interested you well we’ll always continue to explore every possibility in lose disappearance um but last year in September we searched the church yard at St Dunston’s Church in CH including using ground penetrating radar and that continues to be an important part of our

Investigation but we have many other lines of inquiry as well and we are committed to uh exploring all information that comes into us we heard Lee’s mom there just talking in the film about this shy kind boy those are still her memories really tonight is the night

For people to come forward now the time is right that’s right over the years people have phoned the national missing person’s help line and cry Stoppers with Anonymous information with the page of time I’m really hopeful they can come forward again and give us more information um they themselves might now

Have children who were the same age as Lee was when he disappeared and I’d really encourage them to ring Crime Stoppers so we can give Christine and Peter the the answers they deserve and if there’s no good news for them and if Lee’s dead if anyone knows where his bu

Is I’d ask them to tell us so we can return Lee to them people need to do the right thing on this thank you very much n would you I mean you saw there in that film just how long these family have been agonizing over what happened to their boy please

If you can help I would urge you to come forward tonight 0500 600600 for the Studio Don’t have nightmare sleep well good Night

  1. Well know who killed Mark it was Sidney cook, it was just the fact they crushed his jaguar before police could search it stopped him been linked with some evidence

  2. John Cannan is sitting in his cell with a smug grin on his face. There should be a law whereby prisoners whom a court adjudicates are withholding information should have all privileges stopped. They are interfering with the families' human right to a freedom from torture (Article 3: Human rights act 1998)

  3. I remember the Claudia case but I dont remember the reconstructions being like that. I think maybe something they tried but got rid of reverting back to the old style.

  4. As my late mother always said to me monsters do exist, but not the ones we thin about under our beds. Heartbreaking cases for all the family members and victims 🙏

  5. Very interesting content. I hadn’t even heard of Mark’s case. There’s a video on YouTube by Aaron Stoner, who goes into great detail about the Claudia Lawrence case. He’s spent hours studying CCTV footage and he believes Halliwell is responsible for her disappearance.

  6. So Cannan had dna of multiple women who had gone missing or murdered etc, and that's not enough evidence. I wonder what his excuse was for it being there.

  7. I remember all of these cases and really had hoped at least one of them had been solved by now 😢 I can’t imagine what their families must be going through – the not knowing must be hideous x

  8. I’ve long believed that it was a big mistake to have ever abolished capital punishment here in the U.K. as every murder since, starting with the Moors Murders, has been ever more horrific when the official court documents and evidence are released, the offenders are hailed in some circles and it acts as an effective encouragement to commit ever more horrifying murders and the same also applies to the U.K. treason laws – both urgently need to be reinstated, as we need an ultimate sanction against evil of all kinds, because not doing so erodes all respect for the rule of law

  9. its sad how all those people vanished without a trace . mark Tidesley looked a lovely a very bright young boy how can anyone would harm that little boy. those sick evil scum who prey on young boys and women should never have being let out amongst society . when I was young in school we were always told never talk to strangers and get in to cars with them. when hitchhiking .or take food from them. so why would Mark TIDESLEY talk to strange men and engage with them knowing there are strangers unless that that man he met at the fair enticed him with false promises and intimidate so he could lure him away to his fatal end.

  10. Breaks my heart. Recall all of these cases from my early twenties to now an old woman and still nothing ever found. What a nightmare for the parents and families of those missing and the what happened to them is haunting. Hopefully one day they will be brought home and put to rest.

  11. The regulars at Claudia's pub were very closed off, even aggressive towards the press. It is absolutely certain to me that at least some of them know what happened to Claudia.

  12. As someone else said, check out Arrin Stoner's in depth analysis of the Claudia case, it is super detailed and very well done. Best analysis of this crime on YouTube.
