On the 23rd of December 1992, 14 year old Johanna Young headed out from her home in Watton in Norfolk. Watton is a quiet rural place with little happening particularly on this evening when it was foggy and -3. Her parents became concerned when she didn't return to do her paper round the next morning and immediately police were out searching for her. Two days later her body was found in a water filled pit around a mile away. Police were and are still convinced a local person had to be involved but who killed Johanna?

On September the 7th 1974, 30 year old Tom Hewitt had been at his garage on Bright Street in Bury. At around 11:30am, a co-owner of the garage turned up and found Tom with severe head injuries. He later died from his injuries. Despite appeals, a reconstruction and a £10 000 reward, Tom's case is still unsolved and his family deserve answers.

On the 3rd of January 1978, 19 year old Jill Brown went to work as she usually did in Dovercourt in Essex.
