To ask if you’ve ever become obsessed with a murder case?

Lindsay Rimer-a 13 year old from Hebden Bridge murdered & dumped in a canal in 1994. Unsolved.

I am sure the McCanns and or their friends know a lot more about this. It reminds me of the cover up surrounding Nurse Helen Smith where again two doctors are involved.

I remember this clearly, her father seemingly did everything he could to find out the truth.

I am not sure if Jeremy Bamber is guilty or not (although I lean towards innocent). What is clear was there was a mis-trial and evidence has been withheld for over three decades. The application to the Court of Appeal in now in its fourth year - totally uacceptable.

I am obsessed with the murder (not a word to use lightly) of Nurse Helen Smith in Jeddah in 1979. I believe it was not properly investigated by both the Saudi or UK authorities to keep things tidy. Years later I encountered the coroner who investigated and let's just say I would not have brought a used car off him (he passed a few years ago).

It's one I always wonder about especially for the two sons left behind. They must want to get this solved too, just to find closure at long last

The White House Farm murders in the 80’s. So compelling and incredibly intriguing. Lots on-line about it, several books and several tv dramas. Very good one recently with Freddie Fox and Stephen Graham in main roles. Brilliantly done. Highly recommend.

least the cunt is locked up now

Yes, the Alistair Wilson case.

I did, Rachel Callaly

I always find the Stephen Lawrence murder terrible. Very nasty people, some of whom don’t seem to have been brought to justice, terrible response by the Met. His parents have remained so dignified throughout it all.

Rachel Nickell
Meredith Kuecher
Madeleine McCann (although she died accidently, but obsessed with her case and how the McCann's have got away with it all these years?)
Nicola Bulley (because I think she was murdered)

It was early 90's when we went

Lots and lots of things on display and the curator showed us round. He knew the history of everything, could see he loved his job!

We saw the stove and pot from Neilsons house as well as the bath.... the very pot he cooked his victims in

The original letter allegedly from 'Jack the ripper' was there

Lots and lots of guns made out of staplers, drills etc. and lots found at bottom of river Thames's

All kings of counterfeit money....and I remember crime scene photos of the Hyde park bombings too. There was a briefcase with a spring syringe intended to poison which I think was involved in the Krays court case. All very very interesting

I work in a men's prison now with all sorts!

Constance Marten / Mark Gordon and their baby. Don't quite understand what's going on with them now. Googled it, read what I found and am still a bit confused. Anybody?

Sophie: A Murder in West Cork

Outstanding programme making. If you're interested in the case, please watch it.

Ted Bundy. I think because he appeared so ‘normal’. I watch the Netflix documentary every year to keep me on my toes…I can see myself as one of those women helping him.

Sarah Payne is 1 I always think of. Her case had huge media coverage from the day she disappeared in July 2000. Her body was found in a field and I remember driving past the location about a week after she'd been found. there were hordes of people who'd parked up on the field opposite and were crossing to lay flowers. So many people they'd had to put up temporary traffic lights to let people cross. Paedophile Roy Whiting was arrested in Crawley where I lived at the time.
Also still think about Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, utterly shocking that 2 girls were killed together.

One that always got me was little Logan found in the river.

And then the review of his murderers. That poor boy. What things he saw and experienced in his young life.

I was thinking about Lesley earlier too, this thread has got me thinking back to cases in the news when I was a kid. So sad, and as you say, such a screw-up with the wrongful conviction of Stefan Kiszko.

Rhys Jones, murdered while riding his bike. My son was a similar age. The drama Little Boy Blue was heartbreaking. Often think of his parents.

The Charlene Downes case baffles me, terrible policing means we will probably never know what really happened to her.

The murder of little Lesley Molseed is very sad, they also convicted the wrong man for letting her real kill roam the streets for years.

Same here. That case total got me and still has. I feel so much for the parents. They made a mistake and paid for it so dearly.

I'm NOT getting into ins and outs of it to anyone who wants to turn my post into a war.. I won't engage. This post is about those cases we can't forget.

Played out in the court of media and public opinion is an utter nightmare for them.

I empathise because I have a personal story that people would judge knowing nothing about us.

Thank God mine played out in the private arena and not the public arena

Yes and he admitted to going back downstairs after everyone was in bed. They think the flashlight was possibly the murder weapon. And there were marks on her skin that fitted his toy train tracks. I can imagine the parents panicking and trying to cover it up when they found out even though he was actually too young to be prosecuted. There's interviews of him as a kid and he didn't really seem bothered about his sister's death at all-I know people grieve in different ways but you'd think he'd be terrified if he knew an intruder had killed his sister. I would be scared as an adult if it happened to someone another street away never mind my own house and family member.

The two men were cleared completely by the police.
