1. Patrick Warren and David Spencer
On the evening of December 26 1986, just one day after the Christmas celebrations, Patrick
Warren and David Spencer,were out on a late night stroll in Chelmsley Wood, On the outskirts
of Birmingham. Warren and Spencer, who were best friends,
left on brand new bicycles which had been Christmas presents. The boys had been spotted by a police officer
earlier that afternoon playing with another group of children in Meriden Park where they
had been warned by the officer not to play on the frozen pond. After returning home, they told their parents
of their plans to visit one of Patrick's brothers that evening. Derek Warren, another brother, went looking
for them the next day when he found out that they had not arrived. The last known sighting of the boys was just
after midnight by a petrol attendant who gave them a packet of biscuits. Patrick Warren's brand new red Apollo bicycle
was found abandoned behind the petrol station near the bins. The petrol station attendant said they saw
the boys walking toward the local shopping centre. That woudl be the last time they were seen
alive. Soon after the children were reported missing,
Officers still speculated to reporters that the boys were playing some big “game”
or that they were simply staying with friends. They were not taking the missing children
seriously. Police offered 500 euros to anyone with information
believing that whomever the boys were staying with would quickly give them up, but no one
called in any viable leads. In an effort to raise awareness, the supermarket
“Iceland” Utilized the techniques of an American ad campaign which placed the pictures
of missing kids on the back of milk cartons. This would make the faces of David and Patrick
present in 770 stores across England however no tips were ever proven to be credible. One major possibility is that Brian Field,
who was living mere miles from where the boys went missing and would most likely he would
have utilized the same petrol station at which the boys were last seen. Field was later convicted rape and murder
of Surrey schoolboy Roy Tutill, which happened in 1968 but with no bodies and no direct evidence
leading to him, Fields has never confessed or ever been a prime suspect, largely because
he was never initially investigated. All the sex offenders in the area were questioned
and ruled out. To date the boys have never been found. Families houses have been searched and investigated. The property of Brian Fields has been investigated. Rewards have been offered. Ponds have been drained. There are no leads. The police consider this a "no body murder". 2. Suzy Lamplugh
Suzy Lamplugh was a 25 year old aspiring Real Estate agent, living in London. Described as a lover of life who had a propensity
of living every day to the fullest, Suzy was just starting what seemed to be a promising
future. After making an appointment with a potential
client on July 28th 1986, a Mr. Kipper, to show a property on Shorrolds Road in Fulham,
she was never seen again. Suzy’s Ford Fiesta was found parked by another
property up for sale on Stevenage Road, which was one and a half miles from the appointment
address Shorrolds Road. Police compared the DNA of over Over 800 unidentified
bodies but none were a match to Suzy. In 2000, convicted murder John Cannan is questioned
but never charged with Suzy’s murder. Cannon was charged in 1988 for the slaying
of Shorlyy Banks. By this time Suzy had been declared legally
dead even though no body had been found. While Cannan is locked up and being questioned
it is revealed that he goes by a certain nickname in prison, Kipper. This is the same name Suzy was given to book
the fateful appointment that would lead to her untimely fate. Kipper is another word for “herring” possibly
a mocking message that the false name was a “red herring” for investigators. After five female prostitutes were killed
in Soffolk, police interrogated the Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright in May of 2007 as he
actually had worked with Suzy in the early ‘80s. But he too denied involvement. To date no viable leads have turned up and
police have said publicly that they still Believe Cannan to be the killer, as it was
around the same time as his crime spree and Suzy, like Cannan’s targets, were professional
women. 3.JOSEPHINE BACKSHALL A religious and naïve housewife in need of
a job, JOSEPHINE BACKSHALL posted an advertisement in the local newspaper that used the phrasing
“anything considered”. Being a wife, and mother of three this 39
years old house-wife believed she was being recruited to model cosmetics. The man who reached out to her was referred
to as “Peter” by the woman. This man would go on to speak with Josephine
on the phone and subsequently photograph her on the front lawn of her house. JOSEPHINE told her husband that this man was
“of a good sort” and she seemed to trust him though she had to actual reason to. Josephine had made an appointment with this
man to meet and discuss her potential job. They went to a pub called “Fountain Public
House” in Good Easter at the late hour of 10:30pm. Three days later on November 1st she would
be found with her hands tied and her neck strangled. Surprisingly there was no sign of sexual assault,
though some things can leave no trace. She was found, fully clothed, in a pond in
on Bury Green Lane, in North Bishop’s Stortford. The only person to recall the two was the
owner of the public house who recalled the unusualness of the shifty companion of Josephine
who was so tall that his head brushed against the hanging Beer growlers. Upon autopsy it would be revealed that her
last meal was Chinese food, through from where it it unknown. Her car, a Ford Cortina Mk 3, was seen at
9:15 on the side of Collingwood Road, Witham with the hood up. Her watch stopped at 8:15 PM although on what
date is unknown. Though an arrest was made in 2014, he was
released on bail and has never been re-questioned. Police reached out to the public for help
but so far have received no credible leads. 4. Jill Dando
During the second half of the 1990s, English television presenter and journalist Jill Dando
was one of the BBC’s best-known personalities. She was the host of numerous TV shows, including
Crimewatch, a documentary series that presents dramatic reconstructions of unsolved murders. Ironically, Dando became the victim of an
unsolved murder herself, with her murder showcased on Crimewatch in two different episodes. On the morning of 26th April 1999, Jill Dando
left her fiancé’s home. Travelling by car, she went shopping and then
to her own house in Fulham. As she approached the front door, she was
shot dead. Her body was discovered around 14 minutes
later by a neighbour. Jill was rushed to Charing Cross hospital,
but she was declared dead on arrival. Forensic investigations found she’d been
shot by a 9mm caliber automatic pistol, with the gun pressed against her head at the moment
she was shot. Pressing the gun against her head would have
silenced the fatal shot and prevented her killer from being splattered with blood. Police struggled to find any evidence leading
to her killer. Though they believed her murder was the work
of a deranged fan . Eventually, their attention focused on Barry
George, a local man who was obsessed with celebrities, guns, and women. George was a lonely stalker with a collection
of 4,000 photographs he had taken of women he saw on the streets. He claimed that he was the cousin of Freddie
Mercury and allegedly held a grudge against the BBC because he believed they covered his
“cousin” too negatively. Despite his insistence that he was innocent,
George was initially convicted of Dando’s murder in 2001 based on flimsy evidence about
a speck of gunpowder residue found in his pocket. On August 1, 2008, after a second appeal,
George was exonerated and released from prison. The residue in his pocket, the court reasoned,
might have come from somewhere else. Furthermore, the murder weapon had never been
recovered, and George had been ruled intellectually incapable of being able to carry out the crime. To date, the crime still hasn’t been solved. It led to widespread speculation. One theory was she was targeted as part of
a revenge crime for a story she investigated on Crimewatch. Others believed she’d been the victim of
a professional assassin, hired by someone who wanted her dead. Another suggested she’d been killed by the
Serbian Mafia. This was the time of the Kosovo War, and Dando
had presented a charity appeal on behalf of Kosovar refugees. She later received a letter from a “Serb
source” condemning this. Also, the NATO bombing of the Serbian TV headquarters
had taken place three days prior to her death. It was theorised that she was killed by Serbian
extremists in retaliation for the charity appeal, or even for the bombing. The case remains open and unsolved. 5.Gareth Williams
A Welsh mathematician who dropped out of his graduate studies in order to join England’s
secret Intelligence Service agency, code-breaker Gareth Williams was known for being intensely
dedicated to his job on the clock and uncommonly private while off the clock. Wiliams’ work primarily concerned researching
and tracking cash flow from Russia to Europe. After not being in attendance at work for
seven days, concerned colleagues contacted police out of concern for Williams, age 31,
as he was a man of habit and never absent, especially without warning. By the time police performed a welfare check
on August 23rd 2010 at Williams flat in Pimlico, London, which was an SIS safe house, he had
been dead for seven days. Williams was found stripped of clothes in
a red “North Face” duffel bag, which was padlocked from the outside. The key to the lock was placed inside the
bag under his body. The heater had been turned up and the rate
of decomposition rapidly increased due to the warm air, greatly reducing the ability
to test for toxins or swab for DNA. It was determined by the coroner that Williams
had died of lack of oxygen or an abundance of carbon dioxide, a result of breathing out
in the bag but not having fresh air to breath back in. The coroner would speculate that the lack
of bruising and the manner of death indicated that he may have been alive when put into
the bag. There was no DNA on the handles of the duffel
bag or on the edges of the tub; no fingerprints or even smudges. This further indicated a clean up after the
fact. Williams was Last seen alive on August 15th,
but not reported missing until August 23rd. There was a five hour window of unaccounted
for time between when Willams sister notified GCHQ of Williams not answering any calls and
when police were actually called, which some believe to be indicative of a cover up. Dr Fiona Wilcox, the medical examiner on the
case ruled the death as “ unnatural and likely to have been criminally mediated.” She chastised Scotland Yard for failing to
classify Williams death as a murder, instead only classifying it as “suspicious and unexplained
“. Her ruling says that she hired two forensic investigators to replicate the scene and in
400 attempts they could not get into the bag and then still be able to lock it from the
outside. From the beginning the inter-agency scrambling
lead to missing items and scene contamination. Prior to the police investigators cataloguing
the scene, all the houses locks and door handles were removed. Unfortunately their strongest lead was DNA
present on Williams’ hand. For many months the dna was investigated as
the lab coded it as being unidentifiable, but it would be later found that this supposed
“key” piece of evidence was simply contamination from the CSI team that first responded to
the body. As that was the only DNA sample found besides
a Williams, the realization would be a blow to the investigation as no other leads existed. To outside observers it would seem obvious
that Willams death was obviously not an accident at all, but some background evidence focused
on by Russian apologists attempts to throwinto slight question the highly private spy’s
sexual proclivities. Williams old landlady testified that her husband
and she were awoken by Williams screams one night and after rushing to his bedroom the
landlady found Williams tied to the bed and unable to escape. He apologized profusely and said that he had
tied himself up just to see if he could escape and that he would never try something like
that again. Whether this act of tying oneself up was sexual
in nature or the research of a spy about to be “operationally deployed” is unknown. The self asphyxiation angle is furthered by
rumors of Williams visiting websites that featured bondage and some
Critics of Willams say that that predilection could’ve led to an interest in erotic confinement,
which could’ve led to Williams attempting to tie himself up on the bed, as the landlady
found , which could’ve led to him trying to confine himself into a bag. However this angle is vehemently ruled out
by the medical examiner who insists that this is not a case of auto erotic asphyxiation. Was he participating in some bondage type
play and went too far? Dr. Wilcox, the coroner, does not believer
so. She stresses that he was a “scrupulous risk
assessor” citing that had he intended this as an auto-erotic act he would have had a
knife for escape as he was not suicidal. There were multiple cars registered to the
Russian embassy parked in his neighborhood just days prior to his death, and as Williams
work was primarily centered around Russian criminal activity, he was understandably a
target. Additionally, the method of killing is consistent
with Russian intelligence modus operandi: poisoning with an unknown biochemical agent. As a mathematics genius and more specifically
as an adept code breaker, Williams was primarily involved with the tracking of the money laundering
of the European mobs as it pertained to Russia’s secret transactions. Boris Karpichkov, an ex-KGB agent that served
for more than ten years and ranked as KGB major and who is now in the UKs version of
witness protection and has a new identity, tells the real story behind Williams death. While it most certainly wasn’t caused by
Williams sexual proclivities, it did involve the KGB blackmailing him with scandalous photo,
in order for him to become a double agent. Allegedly, Williams was befriended by a fellow
GCHQ colleage nicknamed “Orion”, who was actually a double agent for the Russians. Orion introduced Williams to a third party
name “Lukas” with whom Williams supposedly had a friendly connection. This Lukas wined and dined Williams, but later
Spiked his drink and took him to a separate location where he was filmed next to a man
and a women who were supposedly in a scandalous position, the specifics which are unknown. Once Williams had come round, The compromising
footage was then used as blackmail for Williams to also become a double agent but this attempt
was unsuccessful and the two parted ways, but before leaving Williams made it clear
that any more attempts to blackmail him would result in Orion being reported to MI6 as a
Russian double agent. On August 16th Lukas came back to the flat
and somehow drugged Williams in order to kill him. This would prevent any further threats to
the valuable Russian mole in GCHQ, who to this day is only known as Orion. Outrageous and fear inducing assassinations,
used to deter other detractors of the Russian cause, are common way to die for anyone associated
with the Russian KGB. Alexander Litvinenko a Russian agent who received
political asylum in the UK, was killed in London just four years earlier using a rare
radioactive isotope. Inspector Sutton postulates that “If the
motive for Gareth’s death was around his job, then poison becomes much more likely.” The former KGB agent Karpichkov speculates
that having Williams body displayed in such a scandalous way was meant to send a message
to future people refusing to become double agents. Despite all the evidence to the contrary,
and most likely bowing to pressure to close the sensitive case, London police determined
in November of 2012 that Williams, alone, probably got into the bag himself and couldn’t
get out again. A special thanks to all our patreons without
