The Crimewatch Years 1991 Murders 

My friend Christina Requina..... I'm still speaking your name in 2023. You won't be forgotten. Big love Col xx

The way they described John Green as “not a very ambitious man, living rent free in his mother’s basement.” He was Gen Z before Gen Z was cool.

Genuinely shocked how many of these cases remain unsolved

Penny bell murder is another strange one. The husband was in an 11 year relationship with a man prior to his relationship with penny. He collected a HUGE 200k payout from her life insurance and also obtained her estate. He seemed extremely apathetic in the interview, almost void of emotion. He smirked at one point. His daughter gave an interview years later saying he eventually disowned her. “The tragedy of Penny Bell's murder didn't end on June 6. Ten years later, when Lauren was 19, her father, Alistair, told his daughter he "couldn't do love anymore" and asked her to leave the family home. Her brother had left some years prior for boarding school. "I feel more scarred about the breakdown of my relationship with my father than I do my mom," says Lauren. "My mom didn't have a choice of not being here. But when your only parent left, the person who is supposed to love you unconditionally, turns around and tells you they don't want you anymore… it wounded me beyond belief. And I wish it had been that kind. He was acidic in the way he did it. He told me he wished he'd never met my mother because then he wouldn't be in this situation. I feel convinced my life is better off for it now, but it was devastating at the time.” Honestly, only a psychopath would disown their own child. Only someone completely cold. If you can disown your own flesh and blood, what could you do to your wife? He either paid someone or did it himself. I’m sorry but I would put money on it.

The Steve Johnson murder is particularly sad. A young family was left without their husband and father. And for what?? Nothing. A motiveless murder. Disgusting.

i love the way you edited the videos to include the introductions to the reconstructions

Thanks for all your dedication and hard work!

Poor Jo Ramsden. It looks like she was an only child. Those poor parents. 😢

Tom had parkinsons yet he went to a friends house to do some odd jobs - what an amazing bloke, hats off to him !!!!

Murders for such trivial reasons..a little money some not even any money. Imagine taking a life for no reason. Yet so many killers presumably just went on with their lives. Horrendous. Rest in peace every victim and peace to their families

Alan Leppard’s girlfriend was also murdered just nine months after his death. Both are unsolved.

How difficult it must be to identify a killer who is totally unknown to the victim. Attempting to connect strangers, 1 who can't help & another with no wish to help must be far harder than finding a needle in a haystack. My thanks to the British police for keeping us as safe as they do.

The Vera Anderson murder occurred in a place not far from where I live, scary to think it’s never been solved.

Re the Alan Leppard reconstruction, if Brenda saw people knocking the door from a bedroom window the first or second time, I would have asked from that window what they wanted, I do this anyway from my own bedroom window, I never initially go downstairs to speak to anyone at front door first nor does my wife, not until we have assessed the situation thoroughly. It is something I advised on and learned to do as a neighbourhood watch co-ordinator and still do now.

The Detective in the Fred Maltby murder investigation was also in charge of the Beverley ‘Angel Of Death’ Allitt case too.

Sad to think some of these are still unsolved.

Nana moon? Also the mum in citizen Smith it's amazing how many actors have had parts in crimewatch alot of them have had roles In feature films

He lived and breathed young boys... nuff said

rip Christine/Maria Requena

I’ve watched so many of these episodes, I love this show. I just have one question: did all the cars in England sound like that? Indiana asking.

It amazes me how many people hear blood curdling screams, unusual thumps in elderly peoples houses and people in general distress and they don't call police. If I had heard the older man screaming to someone they can't come in, I would have certainly called police and had a peep behind the door.

Thank you for these! From a very appreciative American.

I fell asleep after this and ..., I *HAD* nightmares...

Bloody hell ronalds cleaner acts as though she sees a dead body every week 7.41 she probably carried on with the cleaning and phoned the police after her lunch break

The case around 1hr 11 is crazy and also a few months after it his girlfriend talking on the reconstruction moved into a flat and was murdered too.

Some gruesome murders here and sadly many unsolved.

Back for more. Such a cracking episode. Worth another watch....

Alan Leppards partner Brenda was also murdered 8 months after Alans death. Both still unsolved.

The guy who murdered Julie Dart also kidnapped Stephanie Slater, didn't he?

Is that Eastenders' Nanna Moon playing Sheila Egner in that reconstruction?

6:12 Creepy!!!

ron harrison - a nonse if ever i saw one. Explains his early retirement and why (as a headmaster) he'enjoyed teaching the boys'.

Poor Geraldine’s family. I bet they never celebrated Christmas again. 😢

Wish I had a neighbour like Chas. legend.

I’m so glad I don’t have mousy colored hair. I’d be hauled in for every crime that happens.

Been watchin the murder episodes thought 90 was bad but 3 hours fuck me 91 have a police strike or something

Thanks for these

The woman in the shop Nana Moon from EastEnders

Why didn't that guy walking his dog go and help Tom or at least find out if he was OK ? The mind boggles.....

£1.00 tip very unusual!! generous Ron

For real? Slag lane? Scragg taxis? Not to make light of a disturbing situation, but they are hilarious names.

Slag lane? You couldn't make it up...

The lovely wife that went to check up on her husband because he didn’t phone home would have been accused of being controlling these days 🙄

If only we still had detective work like this great job guys

I wonder what Andrew Elphick did to upset someone. He was very good looking.

Alan Leppards fiance Brenda was herself murdered nine months later, on December 28th, 1991. She had been poisoned and drowned in a bath. Despite the gap between the killings, it is classed as a double murder. Brenda's cause of death was registered as Unlawful Killing by a person or persons unknown. Alan had already been divorced four times. Could he have financially gained from these divorces which caused friction. When he was murderd, did Brenda inherit it all? With Brenda gone what happened to the estate then... did it transfer to some children that Alan may have had around the place. I would love to hear your views on my thoughts.

The old man Fred maltby’s killer was caught he murdered twice for money there’s a Crimewatch file episode about it

Any motive for John Green's murder?

Peter Tobin comes to Mind for those hitchhiking girls

Who's the female Presenter on this programme? And is she the same woman who was later murdered pn her front path?

The Fred Maltby murder reconstruction was totally off. The guy who did it was older and appeared to act alone…don’t know who those 2 were in the video

Rip Jo she was found murdered a year later❤

3:05:34, this is a good neighbor; he's protective of his neighbor!

From about 2 hours and 33 minutes, there's a policeman and a videofit of the murderer. Surely someone else noticed a similarity?

Wow.. absolutely nothing on Ron Harrison online! Really thought that would have been solved, seems so obvious who they could have been to someone that knew them.

The penny bell case.. The husband was gay and she was having an affair with a family friend.... Such a shock that these people are murdered

Anyone know the song playing at 2:27:22? It only goes for a couple seconds and I am unable to make out any lyrics.

dogs should not be fed chocolate ffs, most dog owners should have them taken away...

U could see the cop was quite upset over the pretty barbara chick that got murdered all them yrs later He will not give up ,wonder if hes still trying now?

Nick Ross has gone on record for saying how his later co-presenter Jill Dando's killing couldn't be a professional hit because of how "amateurish" it was. Yet here, in the cases of Peter Rossini and Alan Lappard, he acknowledges the crimes were professional but also says the killers left amateurish clues. Doesn't seem consistent. I'm not sure he's as criminally aware as he thinks he is.

if these crimewatch episodes are anything to go by it sounds like having a secret gay life in the u.k. can be quite a dangerous pastime. i've noticed several of these stories seem to be based on that.

Is it possible the same person killed leppard and bell

A young woman hitchhiking? In this day and age absolutely unthinkable. Talk about putting yourself in harm’s way.

Could Jackie and Barbara be Peter Tobin victims?

1 hr 17 mins in. The wife arranged her husbands murder.

Steve wright the Suffolk strangler was 25 when this happened wonder if they got the christines killer

About 4 or 5 of these murders have been carried out by the throat being cut. Seems quite strange and gruesome to me. That many murders by the same method??

The man in the car in the Barbara Mayo reconstruction is a little bit creepy.

56:36 Slag lane, and they found a dismembered prostitute there. Sounds like the murderer left her there for kicks.

2:38:10 That was the day before Oasis' first ever gig

Barb mayo case … I wonder if the Yorkshire ripper had any part in this

35:41 35:42 the music back then was brilliant 🎉

I know this is old but wat baffled me is she buys and sells cars she arranged to go see a motor up north so she got money on her y wud 1 hitch hike is beyond me in any day and age 🤔

Some murders are unsolvable, unless the perpetrator confesses.

Michael Sams murdered Julie Dart and kidnapped Stephanie Slater, who was an estate agent. He got a whole life sentence

Where is slag lane quite fancy a visit there😮

Shadrack from Emmerdale 2:45:00

Cracking episode

Ron prob had some boyfriends ✌🏻 boysschools- taxi with boys - bank meee we know in 2019 what happens at schools for only boys

The laundry mark 0 8 23 0 would have to be the date. Whatever else could it be?

I wonder if the makers of Crimewatch watched the 1970 reconstruction as inspiration to start the program in 1984??? Hmmm.......

1:58:40, you don't seem to broken up about your wife's murder, guy! you sound as if your talking about grocery shopping or some other mundane thing!

But even if it were a "lovers tiff",surely a man threatening a woman,is worth calling the police for.....

Moss Side looks bleak af

Ronald Garrison murder - had to "retire" from boys school on medical grounds. Then worked in a Church helping under privileged youngsters. Has two teenage boys in car heading to his place. And one of them calls him a nonce 4 mins in. No loss.

The polite, demure term "courting couple" makes me laugh.

The first story I question the taxi guy story

Jill a presenter of this show was murdered...never solved///sadly so many unsolved

Di Chris Allen out here looking like Chris Tate !

2:36:24, I always crack up when I hear people say "He (or she) liked to live his life to the full." Who doesn't life his life to the full; every one does!

What was Ron doing with those young boys?

Feeding a dog chocolate? 😳

The Windmill pub guy was sad but cracking the way a witness described him cracked me up. He was spinning around and his shoe fell off. absolute quality.

1:44:10 10 05 pm its daylight. Silly mistake

54.29 feeding chocolate to that wee dog could be poison. The wee dog liked her as he could smell all the men body fluids which dog love😮

What a creep

Slag Lane😂😂😂😂 Classic TV @ it’s best.

Pre Crimewatch was 1970 and in many ways we're back in those days now CW has been ended. Police 5 existed in 1979, that's all.

The bloke from Galop looks like the efit 👀

2:45:08 more like she was the local bike
