Shame on the woman that basically came across the scene of the man hurting the woman and did nothing...what kind of person does that..poor excuse for a human being, If afraid she could have literally reported it rather than confront the guy. so so wrong. She may have saved the woman's life.
Omg... forensics have come a long way, looks so odd everyone picking up evidence without gloves and chucking it in the back of a car! Suzy Lampugh, I remember that case so clearly when she went missing, I've often throughout the years checked up to see any progress on her. Sadly her parents passed away without knowing what happened to their daughter. They do have a charity called the Suzy Lampugh trust which helps women. This is the case that hooked me on true crime.
where I live in Australia there was a murder in 1968 - a young woman named Lucille Butterworth was picked up by a man as she waited for a bus. She was about 19. She has never been found but the police know who did it....a man who later went to prison for the murder of another woman. They know he killed Lucille, (he actually told another prisoner he did it) but because they haven’t found the body and because he won’t confess to the police they haven’t got the proof that they need for a conviction.
Christ, the quiet dignity of the parents of that murdered young woman, heart-breaking; what to do with criminal psychopaths, unhuman beings that are wired up all wrong, malevolent and narcissistic but not mentally ill ? Well, execute them for a start, and the world will sleep the sleep of the righteous.....
I live in Bristol and remember this case so well. My girlfriend of the time used to go late night shopping in the weeks leading up to Christmas (late night opening pre-Christmas was a fairly new concept then) and there was a feeling that this could've happened to any of our partners. Also used to drink and socialise in Clifton Village at the time and knew Richard Banks' face as an occasional drinker in my local. In my opinion John Cannan was the British Ted Bundy (charming, good-looking, intelligent) and would've continued killing indefinitely had it not been for the bungled incident n Leamington Spa.
I was on my Duke of Edinburgh award exercise and when we were dropped off at a location to make our way to camp, we were stopped in the minibus and told to take a different route as a discovery had been made.
