Nick Ross and Sue Cook present. Cases include the kidnapping of a Tesco manager and his family in Ipswich, Suffolk. The murder of shop worker Sheila Egner in Nottingham and a very serious attack on a French lady in Guernsey.
90% of the 80s murders involved a cortina usually XD 90s the stolen car of choice was a cavalier, remember my dad had one of these and it got stolen . . .
Me too! My favourite car ever featured in a CWUK reconstruction was a car called a Ford Granada Scorpio. I know nothing about cars but as a child I saw a Scorpio parked across the road from my home within weeks of the one I'd seen on Crimewatch, and I fantasised that this was the one driven by the criminals sought on the programme! I so wanted it to be, however barmy that sounds! :-D
"The German" involved in the Tesco robbery was actually a lad from Sheffield that was actually English , he even talked with the accent in his normal life for whatever reason ???
Have to remember this was over 30 years ago. Crime detection techniques have improved massively and society has changed a lot. For one thing, armed robbery for cash pretty much no longer exists. There's so much less cash being used now and technology means it'd be unusable if stolen
@@redcard7475oh thats a shame thanks anyway its amazing you've gone to thr trouble to upload them all. the other ones you do have i trust you rightfully now have your own copies of the three missing ones thanks to Andy JS!
@@rtd8860 Huge thanks to Andy JS he has just uploaded December 1991! What a ledgend!! I feel like I have channed the luck of the Irish through to him haha jokes no i take no credit! Huge thanks of course goes to Andy JS and RedCard74! Ledgends!!
The first case is a *superb* Crimewatch File with Mark Heap. And it was predated by the Kelvedon bank raid shown in Crimewatch a couple of years before.
@@andrewsmith2757 Could be. But his offences sound far less violent than this one. I suppose being Guernsey it's possible a holiday maker did it and left sharpish.
Does anyone have any info on the Solihull body - a Google search does not appear to show any results. Sadly, it appears that Sheila Egner's murder is still unsolved. And thank you as always Redcard74!
There's nothing online about the body Brendan ... This is the case I was asking about on the March 1991 comments section. Haven't seen it since the original broadcast 27 years ago, but the clay head and flowery shirt had stuck with me and I've googled it once or twice in recent years to see if they ever identified him. No joy though
I know they did if him; a show called how do they do that said so infact. He was a solicitor. But alas there is no media at all on this case. So terrible things are being buried now.
@@tomgraham3206no one said it was a hoax. The commenter was talking about the show. You clearly heard the woman was learning to speak and write again.
It was just 1991. Hardly out of the 80s. It's not like society suddenly automatically changes as soon as a new decade starts. It's always gradual. The early noughties looked very much like the late 90s. The early 80s were still very much like the late 70s.
Nana Moon from Eastenders in the Sheila Egner reconstruction & Tony Hutchinson from Hollyoaks as the son in the Tesco family kidnapping/robbery reconstruction.
How do they know so much about each member of the kidnapping gang? Has nieces/nephews, not married, dog owner, keen mountaineer etc etc. Bloody hell, did they find his online dating profile or something? :D
Probably information they leaked out during the house siege & while holding the family elsewhere-of course it could have all been bs to thrown the cops off the track. I love the advice at the end to always call the police-yeah, like they haven't bungled countless kidnappings & got people killed/injured or let the crooks get away, advice is always to pay up-it isn't your money & Tesco can afford to lose it, nobody can replace your family.
I noticed that too. There's a Crimewatch File programme on here, called Double Identity about this case. That would explain it, though I haven't seen it for a while.
You're correct, MtG: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dZ6m6jhRWgk.html It appears that the "other woman" seen in the Merc was the victim's niece, Anita McKeown (referred to as "Anita Murray" in the notes to the video). www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-irishman-s-diary-1.157526 www.irishtimes.com/news/dundalk-man-guilty-of-manslaughter-of-ni-woman-1.124765 www.irishtimes.com/news/court-told-affair-led-to-murder-1.122868
Strange to see an armed robbery in the City of London there. Wouldn't be the easiest place to get away from (it was a Friday). Wonder if they got caught?
The Solihull body is the case I was asking about in the March 1991 comments section ... Can vividly remember the flowery shirt and clay head. It's stuck with me for the past 27 years! :)
Me too Ian ... I think that's why this case stuck with me. It was also just after the Karen Price Crimewatch file, so as a 13 year old at the time, I was fascinated by this kind of detective work.
@@ianbousfield5007 The clay head almost certainly created by Dr. Richard Neave from Manchester University, who also reconstructed the skull that led t the identification of Karen Price.
@@CuriosSpiritual Did you say on another thread further up this page that you live right next to where it was found?? ... So did they ever identify him at least?? Or get any further than they had here?
These are bringing back some unwelcome memories lol. The kidnapping reconstruction terrified me at the time. The main guy (the continental European) was like a baddie from an action film lol
Think there was a Crimewatch File about the first case and the German robber was found to be putting the accent on. He was in fact from Yorkshire and was acting out something he’d seen in a film.
Remember watching this live at the time. Especially recall the feature jogging peoples memory regarding events of 1975. Obviously I had no recollection of this as I had just turned 11 in Oct ‘91 but still found it fascinating
I think Red card said that he only had up to 1994 (correct me if I'm wrong). I've found another channel that has CW from 1995 onwards: m.ru-vid.comvideos
Robberies of building societies ( never banks) and always in London, horse and hound pubs, marijuana hauls and sawn off shot guns: the sudden short lived obsessions of the early 90s.
One of the ways society has changed. Cash is used much less so kidnaps and armed raids of places where cash is stored is pretty much non existent now. Technology has also improved so much that the cash would be unusable
Local shopkeeper says he barely has £150 cash by the end of the day in his till, where 10 years ago it would have been 8-10 times that figure. Not even worth it for a local wannabe to risk the jail for that sort of money.
what a way to end up burnt out on a rubbish dump in West Birmingham, West Birmingham for heaven's sake! They forgot to mention in 1975 the police fitted up the Guildford four and Birmingham 6!
Now often here the bubnles arrive to flush the foods that should be taxed and in that perhaps wait to see if taxation is applied if so no worries if not to.tje next case that been u to wash clothes rest and be rewarded .if that is no then stop
@@trishg151Crime has plummeted massively since the 80s / 90s and is actually at its lowest ever levels now. Certainly still some very nasty things going on, but I'm not sure making appeals to the public on Crimewatch would be of much help, given that so much of it is now online. Things like burglary and car theft have declined massively. We don't really have many serial killers these days, and kids don't get abducted off the street. Can't remember the last time I saw a securicor van or heard of a bank robbery.
If the BBC were still producing this sort of programme, which can only really be produced by a real public service broadcaster with their reach, people would be less reluctant to pay their licence fee. It used to be more than worth the money. Remember “Pefect Day”? - something that could not have been managed by any other broadcaster. Everyone watched Crimewatch - it was like a real national effort to put villains away.
It's been back on in the mornings for years. But it's very different because crime is very different - not least because crime has absolutely plummeted since the 80s / 90s and as of 2023, crime was at its lowest ever level. Crimewatch now tends to focus on giving advice on things like online fraud, and old unsolved cases. So many of the types of crime featured on 80s / 90s Crimewatch don't really happen now, and if they did they'd be caught very quickly using today's technology. There's much less need to make appeals to the public like old Crimewatch. In short, it's not the 1980s anymore. You just couldn't make a programme like 80s Crimewatch anymore.
This is prw decipline via a real knockout . These males had only the beliefs they have answered of truth. Weather in crime or etc . This in me is an inability to stop. Often seemingly a voice of evils . That in 3d was a knockout . Weather that was the right or wrong apllybthe thoughts as I fall ooo . ?
