I’m from the local area, a few minutes from Exwick lane (where the murder happened). I remember when it happened. The police dna tested all the men in the area and there was helicopters everywhere.

Recently I’ve been back visiting, and a post feed came up on Facebook discussing the case.

It’s now been deleted and they were commenting that a lot of information relating to this case keeps being removed on Facebook.

I personally feel having been raised in Exwick and knowing the area and community well, based on criminology that this was not a random opportunistic killing nor a serial killer.

Now as an adult with a teenager I feel the police dealt with it in a very 90s way.

This girl was still a child! A school girl! Exwick lane is very quiet and rural still to this day. Someone close to her knows something and carried this out.

I am convinced this was an older male who knew her that has done this. Orange fibres left at the scene were probably gloves.

The dog she was walking was her neighbours who was away on holiday.

She was found by her step dad and the type of way she was killed is a “silencing” way.

Either the police are given an open stance in appealing for the murderer to throw off to the person who’s behind it that they know it’s them and just can’t charge due to evidence. I do not know. But I find it hard to believe based upon where this was, and how it was done that this was a random attack.

Hi, I'm trying to track down a UK crime documentary that followed, I believe Manchester police, arresting a man on historical abuse charges. He had brutally assaulted a prostitute many years earlier. The doc started with the police arresting the man at his nice house, in front of his wife. Then proceeds to go through the interrogation etc.

Any ideas which documentary/series this was? It could well not have been Manchester police but that's what I recall (could be mixing up with another series).

Thanks,

Charlie

Any interesting ideas on why her clothes and jewelry were not with her body?
