At 43:23 at the Avril Dunn murder section, the one at the bar who ordrers a Malibu and lemonade is Duncan Jackson. He was actually found guilty of her murder 14 years later. How creepy that he took part in her Crimewatch reconstruction - and even spoke to the actress who played her part....!
Who killed Lorna Hayles?! I feel really bad for her, she tried so hard to fit in and be friendly yet she hosted a party and nobody showed up, and it took a month for anyone to realise she was dead. so sad. people are horrible.
This is a case that the police need to re-open, and look into a lot deeper, the late-coming friends at her party, people at her workplace, and the people in the neighbourhood area itself, I'm sure that's where the answer lies.....
I wonder whether she lied about going to a fashion parade/party. She could have been going out on her own to try and make friends. I only say that because the police didn't have any proof that she was at a fashion event and she also fibbed about going for a job interview to keep up appearances. Really sad
Lorna seemed from the reconstruction to be an aspirational person desperate to get ahead and be looked up to; it's so tragic that someone like that only gets superficial acquaintances. Seemed like she deserved more from life than what she got...
For those interested in victims of the Sidney Cooke gang, Barry Lewis and Jason Swift, the definitive book 'Lambs to the Slaughter' was written with access to police files and off record briefings. It gives very depth info about the gang: Barry Lewis, like pretty much all of the victims (and indeed the people in the gang), came from similar backgrounds. The gang preyed on kids with very unhappy, chaotic home lives and broken homes, knowing full well that in those cases, parents were not acting as guardians and the kids were easier to get at. Barry's father was nowhere to be seen and his mother had given up caring for Barry to another woman on their estate, only seeing him at weekends. Worryingly, when the police were investigating Barry's case, they found a flat on his estate where the walls were drenched with blood. It wasn't Barry's and it's not reported whether they found out whom it belonged to. It underlines though just how out of control crime was back then. The police also traced other men who they believe may have been at the 'sex party' when Barry was killed as far afield as Wales, Newcastle, Durham and Aberdeen. They didn't have enough evidence to proceed but another paedophile ring in Wales was broken because of the evidence they collected. Jason Swift came from a tragic background. His father was totally absent, his brothers bullied him for 'being effeminate' and his mother didn't even report the postcards she'd got to the police, despite him being reported missing. Not one of his family went to look for him. In previous years, the police had taken him home after finding him in Soho. He was also found at one point wandering round Heathrow Airport, dreaming of getting away. It was reported that most of the time during his missing period, he was being 'pimped out' by Lennie Smith around Victoria Station. The tragedy is that Lennie Smith's flat was just a few metres away from Jason Swift's sister's house. Jason seems to have been desperate to find the love he never got at home, and money to get away from his family. Jason also spent time in Southend, which is significant. It later emerged that Lennie Smith and Sidney Cooke had links to paedophiles running an appalling paedophile ring in the Shoebury area of Southend, preying on vulnerable kids from a local estate and inamusement arcades. The ring involved some local police, teachers, bus drivers and pub owners, and one unnamed man 'at the top' was said to be paying the local paedophiles to procure kids for child porn films. Drug trafficking and theft was also a major part of the ring. There's an excellent podcast about that ring, by an award winning local investigative journalist. It's called 'Shoebury's lost boys'. Tragically, it seems that the Sidney Cooke gang was just a small part of the almost industrial scale abuse of kids in 80s' Britain. Some of the Cooke gang later talked about nightclubs in London where drugged up kids were being used in sex shows, and Lennie Smith was later arrested for taking a child he was supposed to be babysitting to a sex club. We've subsequently seen other huge scandals from that time with the Lambeth kids homes abuse and the Medomsley Road Borstal scandal in Consett. Both institutions which had been infiltrated by sadistic paedophiles and nothing was done.
Sad, but his sister took him into her home, and he stole money from her and chose to go back with the paedo's. He should have stayed with her, and rebuilt his life. He chose his own demise.
How could THAT (whichever member of the gang was getting depicted here) have been carrying poor Barry and never been challenged?! Defies belief. Someone could have stopped it
Domine , it is extremely sad that there were plenty of lost opportunities to save his life but the witnesses (wrongly) assumed they were probably father and son , TBH he looked mixed-race and perhaps eyebrows were not raised but the outcome may have been different had he been darker skinned , the alarms whether in suspicion or good intention would've been raised, it is such a tragic and sad case and his poor friends too probably felt guilty and no doubt were distraught
@@dominewimbury2039 I think the abductor being depicted here was the gang member who was murdered in prison in 1993 or so. The photofit certainly looks like him.
Absolutely horrific ... the Barry Lewis (Solved) Alison Day (Solved & Susan Maxwell (Solved) Caroline Hogg (Solved) Sarah Harper (Solved) Maartje Tamboezer (Solved) Jason Swift (Solved) really touched me rip x
1985 is a very bizarre time. A child staying at a caravan on his own...no adult raises alarms, child goes missing, sends postcards and roaming the streets of London. Yet no family member went to the police (or adult) He’s 14. 14! Wtf!
Neil Billy bob oh shut the fuck up. Imported crime? So all British people have suddenly become saints and no one breaks the law? If you watch enough crimewatch you will see that the majority of crime is done by white English people hahaha. Oh and the murder rate is down now. Compare it to the 90s and u will be surprised
@@TheOne-fe8wk a lot is in fact overseas crime. Personally I think that's one of the reasons the BBC killed Crimewatch. Most photofits were foreigners and I think they became embarrassed. Yes you've still British wrong uns but the mass immigration Blair experiment has failed
John Cooper killed the Thomas siblings in Pembrokeshire, Wales. He was the man who’d appeared on Bullseye. The Pembrokeshire Murders was released in 2021 on ITV and it was excellent..
So true. His life was absolutely heartbreaking. He was living in a shelter by himself by the time he was 13 because his home life was so bad. Always the same story. Kids from chaotic families make easy prey for these offenders.
Very very weird indeed.... “The charred body of the 53-year-old, known by patients as Dr K, was found in the kitchen of her flat in Coniston Close, Hall Green, on January 22, 1986. Almost four years earlier, a close friend of the doctor, London solicitor Thomas Gleeson died in a fire in the bedroom of the same house. The body of the 40-yearold was also charred beyond recognition and could only be identified by shirt buttons and part of a shoe which survived the blaze. At an inquest into his death on March 1982, Dr Kaczmarsjka said she had known him for 17 years and he had been staying at her home when the fire broke out. The inquest decided that he had died from smoke inhalation and a verdict of death by misadventure was recorded. “
just poor council estate kids who sadly fell prey who i think like Barry fell prey to Cooke and his gang. Thank god they was never released. Cooke is 96 and still in jail.
Thanks for doing all of these compilations. I was wondering if you could do a Crimewatch Years for the updates that Nick and Sue would give each episode - these are usually very well done in the 80s.
I remember the Sarah Harper one as she was from Morley, Leeds. I remember driving past a sign for Morley with my Nan and Granddad not long after she disappeared and remember us talking about it and how terrible it was that a little girl could go missing after walking 2 minutes to the local shop.
Very much how the 1980s actually were. Unemployment was massive and the country was grey and depressing. Britain had the highest rate of violent crime in europe at the time. It was country filled with derelict buildings, violence and a lot of misery. The Specials' song "Ghost town" was written about 80s Britain and it was very accurate.
Horrific. God rest in peace. May you forever be remembered for your smiling, happy photos before life took you into the paths of those evil individuals. I remember Jason’s photo and the posters that were posted everywhere in 1985. Hearing what happened to him chills me to the bone. I hope he is at peace because what he went through was diabolical. I’ll never forget that poor lad’s face as it was plastered across newspapers and television for a long time. Rest in peace Jason, Barry and Mark and the other kids. God bless always xx
@@noongourfain The other names were actually released. They're also detailed in the definitive book about the Sidney Cooke gang, 'Lambs to the Slaughter' and are as follows: - Michael Maughan, a young lad from a traveller family who went missing after a trip to the west end with his sister. Bailey mentioned killing "a gypsy boy" when interviewed. - an unknown lad that Bailey couldn't remember the name of. - Desmond Ingram from Highbury, a 14 year old who went missing on his way home from school. Desmond subsequently showed up, but his parents hadn't bothered to tell the police (!) and the police didn't seem to check before announcing it to the public (!) It underlined the problem with how missing kids were recorded back then. - Paul James, 16, an epileptic lad who disappear after leaving his home in Brixton to go to the west end. - Michael Monaghan, 16, disappeared from a kids home. It was later reported that Monaghan was alive and living as a homeless person but the police were unable to verify it. With regard to Vishal Mehrotra, evidence has come forward that he may have actually been taken by another paedophile gang operating in Surrey. One major suspect fled to India. Martin Allen also fits the M.O. of the Cooke gang, but the police had a number of other suspects, one of whom committed suicide shortly afterwards.
Pedos and child killers need feeding to crocodiles alive only its cruel to the Crocodile they do not deserve such cruel treatment! So take them and rack them instead.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 mate, you need your head looking at if you can say things like that as you clearly know nothing about Jason's life. Jason Swift came from a tragic background. His father was totally absent, his brothers bullied him for 'being effeminate' and his mother didn't even report the postcards she'd got from him to the police, despite him being reported missing. Not one of his family went to look for him when he disappeared, *including his sister*. They told police that "London was too big". In previous years, the police had taken him home after finding him in Soho. He was also found at one point wandering round Heathrow Airport, dreaming of getting away. It was reported that most of the time during his missing period, he was being 'pimped out' by Lennie Smith around Victoria Station. Between being trafficked to Croydon and Southend to be used for sex, he seems to have spent most of his time in Lennie Smith's flat. Smith seems to have convinced him that they were in some kind of relationship, which allowed him to manipulate Jason. Jason is also believed to have had mild learning difficulties which made him even more vulnerable. The tragedy is that Lennie Smith's flat was just a few metres away from Jason Swift's sister's house. Jason seems to have been desperate to find the love he never got at home, and money to get away from his family and the terrible life he had had. Jason also spent time in Southend, which is significant. It later emerged that Lennie Smith and Sidney Cooke had links to paedophiles running an appalling paedophile ring in the Shoebury area of Southend, preying on vulnerable kids from a local estate and inamusement arcades. The ring involved some local police, teachers, bus drivers and pub owners, and one unnamed man 'at the top' was said to be paying the local paedophiles to procure kids for child porn films. Jason had been trafficked there. Maybe next time do some research before coming out with nasty poison like that, when you clearly don't know anything about the case. Jason was a child who had been treated appallingly by all his family.
@@zeddeka You don't think 14 is old enough to be accountable for your actions? It is old enough to know right from wrong and when I was 14, NO-ONE could have persuaded me to hang around with paedos. Remember what James Bulger's killers were capable of doing AGED 10! Mary Bell murdered two kids when she was 11. This is well old enough to know what you are doing. There was a kid in the US recently who shot his teacher and he was six. They said they knew he was a danger and was not being correctly monitored. Kids know what they are doing from a very young age.
Two weeks ago, "Crime watch uk stories", put up a video revealing how Avril Dunn's killer appears in a CW reconstruction. Cool as a cucumber plays darts with the actress & chatting to her at the bar.
All the child murders shown her were solved. The young boys were all murdered by Sidney Cook & associates of a pedophile ring. The girls Karen & Nicola were killed by Russell Bishop. Susan Maxwell, Caroline Hogg & Sarah Harper were all victims of Robert Black. Maartje Tamboezer was murdered by John Duffy & David Mulcahy who also murdered the two women Alison Day & Anne Lock whose cases also featured in this video.
Barry Lewis and Jason Swift were the victims of the notorious Sidney Cooke paedophile ring. Three of the young girls were killed by serial killer Robert black. maartje tamboza were killed by the "railway killers" - Duffy and Mulcahy
I feel very sorry for the family of Kevin Hicks, the 16 year old who went missing in Croydon in March 1986. His case was due to appear on Crimewatch but was removed when the Suzy Lamplugh case happened. Part of the now well known media bias - they massively prioritised cases if they involved female, white, preferably middle class people. Kevin hasn't been seen since and the police believe he had been groomed and murdered. His case was part of a string of disappearances and potential murders in the Croydon area in the 80s involving teenage boys, including Reece Collins and the more famous Lee Boxell case.
@@joshuaedwards4536 wasn't the driver who gave a lift a school inspector they said? surely a person who deals with children would have called the police over it? the sick individuals turned out to be a padeo ring who got kids drugged them like the one shown in reconstruction then raped them it was horrific what they did to them
@@labazs1964 if that's the case, then that truly is disgusting and unacceptable, especially someone in such a trusted position, something that would never happen today, it just seems strange back then that nobody seemed to see it as odd or strange that a man is carrying around a young boy in his arms, kids can walk by themselves at such an age, and dont need any assistance, he also appeared to be sleepy, due to whatever substance was administered to him, the man wouldnt allow anyone near the boy, silent and acting defensive, all this was in the pre-mobile phone era, such a shame that those sick disgusting less than human being committed atrocious acts upon innocent children, time and time again, may those innocent souls rest in eternal perfect peace, and may those sick paedophile murderers roast in hell fire endlessly.....♨️♨️🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:25:56 This is so sad. This poor guy. He lived with a wealthy doctor family for 4 years then was returned to poverty. He wasn't happy there. That's why he left. His sister obviously didn't care about him since they never reported him missing or called the police when he called there. Why didn't he go back to the doctor family? So, so sad. What a waste of a potentially great life.
Dr Barnado's is the name of a charity that runs care homes. You're right about how his family neglected him though. His father was totally absent, his brothers bullied him for 'being effeminate', his mother didn't even report the postcards she'd got to the police, despite him being reported missing. Not one of his family went to look for him. In previous years, the police had taken him home after finding him in Soho. He was also found at one point wandering round Heathrow Airport, dreaming of getting away. It was reported that most of the time during his missing period, he was being 'pimped out' by Lennie Smith as a child prostitute around Victoria Station. The tragedy is that Lennie Smith's flat was just a few metres away from Jason Swift's sister's house. Jason also spent time in Southend, which is significant. It later emerged that Lennie Smith and Sidney Cooke had links to paedophiles running an appalling paedophile ring in Shoebury, preying on vulnerable kids from a local estate. The ring involved some local police, teachers, bus drivers and pub owners, and one unnamed man 'at the top' was said to be paying the local paedophiles to procure kids for child porn films. Drug trafficking and theft was also a major part of the ring.
I live a ten minute walk from where Diane Sindall was murdered and in 1999 my flat window overlooked that exact spot. Every day I drive past the monument to her on my way to work. So cruelly taken. All the poor girl did was take a wrong turn after breaking down. Rest in peace
That stretch of road have not changed much at all in the last 33yrs. The run down alleyway were the body was discovered all those years ago remain exactly the same state today as it was then, it probably still have the same bits of rubbish that was there on that dreadfull day. Its a painfully sad reminder commuting to and from work almost every day.
@@ajs41 Parole has been granted but hes not been released yet and the justice secretary is meant to be looking into it.Certainly as a double killer he should never be released
And perhaps Dr K came onto a younger man who did not like her advances and lost control and killed her. Else he was just a Madman looking for victims must be one of those 2 scenarios. And as we all now the evil late Robert Black killed Susan and the other poor little girls and as he drove a van the cars mentioned here were not involved.
She did use dating agencies and it appeared to be someone she let in. She did lie about her name, it said, so she may have lied about her age, too. If a man answering the advert expected a younger woman, it would have been awkward, but not enough reason to kill her.
I think those "they came on to me so I killed them" are the kind of fantasy arguments desperate lawyers come up with. Doesn't really happen in real life.
in the alison day case all 3 police theories were wrong,as the killers were waiting for her on the platform of hackney wick they marched her down the train tracks to the canal

@@sami-zc1nl you're so right there, Sami, and it may sound almost controversial to some people, about capital punishment on those who unnecessarily take innocent peoples lives, but I have no issues with it, the only problem is that many people in the past lost their lives, due to a serious miscarriage of justice, and thats where the problem lies, as long as the court case trial was fair, genuine and not corrupted, crooked, or certain powers and authority was used to convict an innocent person, then maybe some of these cases do warrant such drastic actions, I know I'd be very upset, annoyed and devastated, had it happened to any of my loved ones.....
Seems a bit odd that all these people noticed Suzy's white car . John Cannan is the prime suspect. All these years on if his guilty he needs to come clean and confess and to where she is buried. He needs to give her family and friends closure. Sadly her parents have passed away . Hope they have been reunited with their beloved daughter in heaven and are all resting in peace..
@@mrkipling2201 The boyfriend probably couldn't leave or wasn't allowed to leave his work place to meet Alison. He has no doubt lived with a horrible sense of guilt ever since and doesn't need judgement from anyone. Alison did nothing wrong by catching the train, she was just minding her own business and she had the misfortune of meeting those two psychopaths.
I think she should have just stayed at home! It was xmas and a freezing cold night, and the holiday time. She should have stayed in with her parents, enjoyed xmas time with them, and met him the next day. He was working anyway, so their rendezvous could have waited until tomorrow and during the day light.
Retro Pixels thank you. Says they were coked up and they even had the balls to go and rob another place straight after. Nutjobs, all out of prison now somewhere living their life’s. Madness
@@JC-ss7xy The killer should not have been released. The poor man was earning an honest living and being shot in the back, and they didn't even get any money.
Is astonishing to me they bring exhibits from murder scenes to a TV studio. I know this was before forensic science but surely they understood evidence needed to be respected. Video of them would have been enough.
There was the case of the old woman who went to post a letter at lunch time, in a village up north, and was murdered, going through a cut between houses.
The scumbags gave barry 6 year old poppers and horse tranquilliser and then he was raped by up to 8 men before he was murder like mark tildesley and jason swift information from the Coroners report ... (Leslie Bailey) was their in all three rapes
its just strange that a white man should be carrying any boy especially a black boy 3 miles down the road. Alarm bells should have been ringing. That of the police. Bastards. I hope they all rot in hell.
Does anyone know if the guy who jumped out on the old woman and did the “war dance” (or what looks like pulling a face at her) ended up being confirmed as John Duffy and David Mulcahy? They were the killers of the girl and I want to know if that was just some random weirdo or if it was one of them. And why? Lol
In all my days iv never seen a person carrying a child like that down a rd ,but if I did I’d be more than concerned why he was been carried at that age 😢
pardon my ignorance, but does "anorexia" in this region in this time period refer to anorexia nervosa, or simple anorexia (as could be a consequence of chemotherapy, a stomach disorder, etc)?
People certainly made plenty of money out of stolen credit cards those days, apparently even if cancelled in the UK they could still be used in Europe and not much cctv about either. People started to have more expensive items like watches, vhs recorders, cameras and video cameras as well as stereo sound systems.
The case is solved, and there was no connection there. They were murdered by serial killer John Cooper, who killed and raped several others and is perhaps most well known because he appeared as a contestant on "bullseye"
The bloke from the pub that killed Avril, the question I have is if he was responsible for the two sex attacks that happened locally before he murdered Avril. Scumbag
A guy named Sullivan confessed to the Diane Sindall murder but was apparently a serial confessor and then retracted this one. He'd apparently confessed to crimes he never did. Anyone know if he served time?
Yes, I know about this one. www.blackkalendar.nl/content.php?key=33487&termRef=Peter%20Sullivan I was working as a Care Supervisor in Wirral at the time. After this murder, all the work schedules were changed to ensure that our Care Assistants - most of whom were female - could get home in daylight.

misscritique66 Londoners will usually call hackney east London. Technically it is north-east London. What’s weird is we have a north-west postcode(Willesden, Stonebridge camden Etc) but we don’t have a north-east postcode. But hackney is pretty north if you consider the fact Islington (north) is next to Camden with with north west and hackney is east of Islington. So long story short it is considered east london by everyone BUT technically it’s north-east London and could be considered part of north London
What the hell is going on, over there? Why arecthey killing children so much? And why in the hell do they allow their children, to walk those driwy roads by themselves?
This was nearly 40 years ago. In the 1980s, Britain had the highest rate of violent crime in europe. The country was going through a very turbulent time with massive unemployment and poverty. But the recent enquiry into historic sex abuse has shown that (like many, many other countries) child abuse was rampant. A mixture of public naivety, incomprehension, deference to authority and Shame culture, mixed in with a lot of historic poverty that led to chaotic and dysfunctional families, led to a lot of child abuse and people getting away with it.
the unpronounceable doctor has the cannan m.o. there is footage of him at a dating agency and mr kipper was carrying champagne when he was seen with suzie lamplugh.
Would he be interested in a wrinkled old Polish woman who smoked her head off? Suzy was ultra glamorous. She would also have been a lot older than Cannan. Doesn't look like his type.

For those interested in victims of the Sidney Cooke gang, Barry Lewis and Jason Swift, the definitive book 'Lambs to the Slaughter' was written with access to police files and off record briefings. It gives very depth info about the gang:
Barry Lewis, like pretty much all of the victims (and indeed the people in the gang), came from similar backgrounds. The gang preyed on kids with very unhappy, chaotic home lives and broken homes, knowing full well that in those cases, parents were not acting as guardians and the kids were easier to get at. Barry's father was nowhere to be seen and his mother had given up caring for Barry to another woman on their estate, only seeing him at weekends. Worryingly, when the police were investigating Barry's case, they found a flat on his estate where the walls were drenched with blood. It wasn't Barry's and it's not reported whether they found out whom it belonged to. It underlines though just how out of control crime was back then. The police also traced other men who they believe may have been at the 'sex party' when Barry was killed as far afield as Wales, Newcastle, Durham and Aberdeen. They didn't have enough evidence to proceed but another paedophile ring in Wales was broken because of the evidence they collected.
Jason Swift came from a tragic background. His father was totally absent, his brothers bullied him for 'being effeminate' and his mother didn't even report the postcards she'd got to the police, despite him being reported missing. Not one of his family went to look for him. In previous years, the police had taken him home after finding him in Soho. He was also found at one point wandering round Heathrow Airport, dreaming of getting away. It was reported that most of the time during his missing period, he was being 'pimped out' by Lennie Smith around Victoria Station. The tragedy is that Lennie Smith's flat was just a few metres away from Jason Swift's sister's house. Jason seems to have been desperate to find the love he never got at home, and money to get away from his family. Jason also spent time in Southend, which is significant. It later emerged that Lennie Smith and Sidney Cooke had links to paedophiles running an appalling paedophile ring in the Shoebury area of Southend, preying on vulnerable kids from a local estate and inamusement arcades. The ring involved some local police, teachers, bus drivers and pub owners, and one unnamed man 'at the top' was said to be paying the local paedophiles to procure kids for child porn films. Drug trafficking and theft was also a major part of the ring. There's an excellent podcast about that ring, by an award winning local investigative journalist. It's called 'Shoebury's lost boys'.
Tragically, it seems that the Sidney Cooke gang was just a small part of the almost industrial scale abuse of kids in 80s' Britain. Some of the Cooke gang later talked about nightclubs in London where drugged up kids were being used in sex shows, and Lennie Smith was later arrested for taking a child he was supposed to be babysitting to a sex club. We've subsequently seen other huge scandals from that time with the Lambeth kids homes abuse and the Medomsley Road Borstal scandal in Consett. Both institutions which had been infiltrated by sadistic paedophiles and nothing was done.
Sad, but his sister took him into her home, and he stole money from her and chose to go back with the paedo's. He should have stayed with her, and rebuilt his life. He chose his own demise.

Brilliant book, some of it is genuinely stomach churning and not necessarily about Cooke and his gang.

It’s sad as Jason said in his postcard that he was ok and not to worry but you get the feeling that she didn’t give a monkey’s!
How could THAT (whichever member of the gang was getting depicted here) have been carrying poor Barry and never been challenged?! Defies belief. Someone could have stopped it
Domine , it is extremely sad that there were plenty of lost opportunities to save his life but the witnesses (wrongly) assumed they were probably father and son , TBH he looked mixed-race and perhaps eyebrows were not raised but the outcome may have been different had he been darker skinned , the alarms whether in suspicion or good intention would've been raised, it is such a tragic and sad case and his poor friends too probably felt guilty and no doubt were distraught

1985 is a very bizarre time. A child staying at a caravan on his own...no adult raises alarms, child goes missing, sends postcards and roaming the streets of London. Yet no family member went to the police (or adult) He’s 14. 14! Wtf!
Grittier and tougher.
@ Not sure it is that different, think about all the girls in Rotherham and Oxford who were abused and no-one cared very much.
@@dk401 I don't necessarily agree with that, I think in many ways it's more grittier and tougher today.
Neil Billy bob oh shut the fuck up. Imported crime? So all British people have suddenly become saints and no one breaks the law? If you watch enough crimewatch you will see that the majority of crime is done by white English people hahaha. Oh and the murder rate is down now. Compare it to the 90s and u will be surprised
@@TheOne-fe8wk a lot is in fact overseas crime. Personally I think that's one of the reasons the BBC killed Crimewatch. Most photofits were foreigners and I think they became embarrassed.

Awww Barry Lewis...Sidney Cooke, that evil bastard.
And Jason swift
bastards
And he only spent 9 years in prison for an earlier murder, it's digusting.
Cheers for uploading all of these mate!
The Jason swift story always breaks my heart he was absolutely failed by his family all he wanted was a better life the poor boy
So true. His life was absolutely heartbreaking. He was living in a shelter by himself by the time he was 13 because his home life was so bad. Always the same story. Kids from chaotic families make easy prey for these offenders.
Alison Day Reconstruction is the most scariest case witnessed.
Mulcahy and Duffy who were serial killers and later both convicted.
Very very weird indeed....
“The charred body of the 53-year-old, known by patients as Dr K, was found in the kitchen of her flat in Coniston Close, Hall Green, on January 22, 1986.
Almost four years earlier, a close friend of the doctor, London solicitor Thomas Gleeson died in a fire in the bedroom of the same house.
The body of the 40-yearold was also charred beyond recognition and could only be identified by shirt buttons and part of a shoe which survived the blaze. At an inquest into his death on March 1982, Dr Kaczmarsjka said she had known him for 17 years and he had been staying at her home when the fire broke out.
The inquest decided that he had died from smoke inhalation and a verdict of death by misadventure was recorded. “
Very odd . Just a coincidence or something more sinister?
I would love to see her case solved.
Scary as most of those were by serial killers! That photofit in Suzy's case is totally John Cannan.
Definitely.

It’s him all day long.
Poor Jason. Not much of a life for him. Poor kid. 😢
Tragic beyond belief!!!!
terrible. thilthy bastards.
just poor council estate kids who sadly fell prey who i think like Barry fell prey to Cooke and his gang. Thank god they was never released. Cooke is 96 and still in jail.
41:21, this this has always been a sad story: Avaril just visited people she knew because she just wanted to talk with someone!
To think she was killed by someone she knew and trusted and was 'friends' with, is even more heartbreaking.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 yea it is. I agree with your statement!
Very sad indeed.
Didn't her killer appear in the recon?
Thanks for doing all of these compilations. I was wondering if you could do a Crimewatch Years for the updates that Nick and Sue would give each episode - these are usually very well done in the 80s.
I remember the Sarah Harper one as she was from Morley, Leeds. I remember driving past a sign for Morley with my Nan and Granddad not long after she disappeared and remember us talking about it and how terrible it was that a little girl could go missing after walking 2 minutes to the local shop.
Lesley Molseed went out for a loaf of bread at Sunday lunchtime.
The 80s crimewatches are so dark and gritty
they are proper grim.
IT was and i thought america was the home of serial killers
Ikr
Very much how the 1980s actually were. Unemployment was massive and the country was grey and depressing. Britain had the highest rate of violent crime in europe at the time. It was country filled with derelict buildings, violence and a lot of misery. The Specials' song "Ghost town" was written about 80s Britain and it was very accurate.
Don't have nightmares.🤣🤣
Barry Lewis case will never stop haunting me. That poor boy. 😦😦😦

Horrific.
God rest in peace. May you forever be remembered for your smiling, happy photos before life took you into the paths of those evil individuals. I remember Jason’s photo and the posters that were posted everywhere in 1985. Hearing what happened to him chills me to the bone. I hope he is at peace because what he went through was diabolical. I’ll never forget that poor lad’s face as it was plastered across newspapers and television for a long time. Rest in peace Jason, Barry and Mark and the other kids. God bless always xx
And 6-8 more lads, who's names were never released, cases never investigated due to corruption and misconduct.
@@noongourfain The other names were actually released. They're also detailed in the definitive book about the Sidney Cooke gang, 'Lambs to the Slaughter' and are as follows:
- Michael Maughan, a young lad from a traveller family who went missing after a trip to the west end with his sister. Bailey mentioned killing "a gypsy boy" when interviewed.
- an unknown lad that Bailey couldn't remember the name of.
- Desmond Ingram from Highbury, a 14 year old who went missing on his way home from school. Desmond subsequently showed up, but his parents hadn't bothered to tell the police (!) and the police didn't seem to check before announcing it to the public (!) It underlined the problem with how missing kids were recorded back then.
- Paul James, 16, an epileptic lad who disappear after leaving his home in Brixton to go to the west end.
- Michael Monaghan, 16, disappeared from a kids home. It was later reported that Monaghan was alive and living as a homeless person but the police were unable to verify it.
With regard to Vishal Mehrotra, evidence has come forward that he may have actually been taken by another paedophile gang operating in Surrey. One major suspect fled to India. Martin Allen also fits the M.O. of the Cooke gang, but the police had a number of other suspects, one of whom committed suicide shortly afterwards.
Pedos and child killers need feeding to crocodiles alive only its cruel to the Crocodile they do not deserve such cruel treatment! So take them and rack them instead.
Poor Jason. No parents to give a shit about him. Aged fourteen FFS! An innocent child 😭😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
His sister gave him a home and he stole £75 when she went out, and chose to wander around mixing with the wrong people.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 mate, you need your head looking at if you can say things like that as you clearly know nothing about Jason's life. Jason Swift came from a tragic background. His father was totally absent, his brothers bullied him for 'being effeminate' and his mother didn't even report the postcards she'd got from him to the police, despite him being reported missing. Not one of his family went to look for him when he disappeared, *including his sister*. They told police that "London was too big". In previous years, the police had taken him home after finding him in Soho. He was also found at one point wandering round Heathrow Airport, dreaming of getting away. It was reported that most of the time during his missing period, he was being 'pimped out' by Lennie Smith around Victoria Station. Between being trafficked to Croydon and Southend to be used for sex, he seems to have spent most of his time in Lennie Smith's flat. Smith seems to have convinced him that they were in some kind of relationship, which allowed him to manipulate Jason. Jason is also believed to have had mild learning difficulties which made him even more vulnerable. The tragedy is that Lennie Smith's flat was just a few metres away from Jason Swift's sister's house. Jason seems to have been desperate to find the love he never got at home, and money to get away from his family and the terrible life he had had. Jason also spent time in Southend, which is significant. It later emerged that Lennie Smith and Sidney Cooke had links to paedophiles running an appalling paedophile ring in the Shoebury area of Southend, preying on vulnerable kids from a local estate and inamusement arcades. The ring involved some local police, teachers, bus drivers and pub owners, and one unnamed man 'at the top' was said to be paying the local paedophiles to procure kids for child porn films. Jason had been trafficked there. Maybe next time do some research before coming out with nasty poison like that, when you clearly don't know anything about the case. Jason was a child who had been treated appallingly by all his family.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 he was a kid and needed some decent adults around him
@@zeddeka You don't think 14 is old enough to be accountable for your actions? It is old enough to know right from wrong and when I was 14, NO-ONE could have persuaded me to hang around with paedos. Remember what James Bulger's killers were capable of doing AGED 10! Mary Bell murdered two kids when she was 11. This is well old enough to know what you are doing. There was a kid in the US recently who shot his teacher and he was six. They said they knew he was a danger and was not being correctly monitored. Kids know what they are doing from a very young age.
Age 6 has always been too young an age to let them wander around in the streets. Fools.

I feel very sorry for the family of Kevin Hicks, the 16 year old who went missing in Croydon in March 1986. His case was due to appear on Crimewatch but was removed when the Suzy Lamplugh case happened. Part of the now well known media bias - they massively prioritised cases if they involved female, white, preferably middle class people. Kevin hasn't been seen since and the police believe he had been groomed and murdered. His case was part of a string of disappearances and potential murders in the Croydon area in the 80s involving teenage boys, including Reece Collins and the more famous Lee Boxell case.
Ye I heard of Rachel Nikkel but not Jasmine Basset & her child.same reason as u pointed out.

Seems a bit odd that all these people noticed Suzy's white car . John Cannan is the prime suspect. All these years on if his guilty he needs to come clean and confess and to where she is buried.

This was nearly 40 years ago. In the 1980s, Britain had the highest rate of violent crime in europe. The country was going through a very turbulent time with massive unemployment and poverty. But the recent enquiry into historic sex abuse has shown that (like many, many other countries) child abuse was rampant. A mixture of public naivety, incomprehension, deference to authority and Shame culture, mixed in with a lot of historic poverty that led to chaotic and dysfunctional families, led to a lot of child abuse and people getting away with it.

Weirdo alert
01:36:57 This is creepy as fuck
are they really bare handed handling evidence on a tv show???
I thought that too a lot was the real evidence!
No DNA then maybe that's why
Ironically the guy was caught through DNA. Creepily he appeared in the reconstruction
They got the evidence they needed off it and put it on file, or it's a replica and not the real one.
At 43:23 at the Avril Dunn murder section, the one at the bar who
ordrers a Malibu and lemonade is Duncan Jackson. He was actually found
guilty of her murder 14 years later. How creepy that he took part in
her Crimewatch reconstruction - and even spoke to the actress who played
her part....!
Jason Lightoller really?!? That’s insane!!!
Dave B Yes absolutely. If you Google Duncan Jackson Avril Dunn you will see him 15 years after this reconstruction
😱
Yes, the nerve of the guy to take part in the reconstruction. If obviously thought it would look suspicious if he didn't participate. He was caught via DNA evidence in 2000.
@@countkostaki He even bears something of a resemblance to the videofit shown later on.
All Sydney Cooke monster
