00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Hi, and welcome back to The Unseen Podcast, a podcast

2
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 1>dedicated to missing people, unresolved cases and UK true crime.

3
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Today we're going to be exploring the murder of fourteen

4
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>year old Patsy Morris on Hounslow Heath in London in

5
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty. Despite a large investigation at the time, it

6
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>has never been solved. This episode discusses the murder of

7
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 1>a child and may contain descriptions of violence, so listener

8
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>discretion is advised. On Monday, the sixteenth of June nineteen eighty,

9
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the Morris family, who lived at Signa Avenue in Felton,

10
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 1>West London, were becoming worried. George and Marjorie Morris had

11
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>been waiting for their fourteen year old daughter, Patsy to

12
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>return home after school. However, she was late, and this

13
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 1>was not usual for her. Patsy attended school at Felt

14
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and Comprehensive and lived at home with her mom, dad,

15
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>sister and two brothers. She was just an normal teenage

16
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>girl and staying away from home without letting anyone know

17
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>was not something that she did. It didn't take long

18
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>for her parents to become so worried that they contacted

19
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>police to try and locate her. Police became involved given

20
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Patsy's age and the fact that she couldn't be found,

21
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 1>and they began a search of the local area. They

22
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>used mounted police officers and Special Patrol Group members to

23
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>help them look around the area of Signa Avenue where

24
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the Morrises lived. It was hoped that Patsy would be

25
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>recovered quickly after the search and that whatever had happened

26
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 1>had just been a misunderstanding or Patsy was just with

27
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>a friend. However, when she still could not be located

28
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>that evening and into the next day, concerns began to grow.

29
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Police officers continued to search into Wednesday, the eighteenth of June,

30
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was on that evening that a police dog

31
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>handler was searching an area of Hounslow Heath that they

32
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>discovered something in what has been described as a bush

33
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 1>or a copse next to our path. The dog handler

34
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>came across a body lying face down. The body was

35
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 1>that of Patsy Morris. The discovery that Patsy was dead

36
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>was devastating for everyone involved, and it meant that the

37
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>worst had so tragically come true. Her body had been

38
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>found around a quarter of a mile from her home

39
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>on Signa Avenue. All of the evidence suggested that Patsy's

40
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>death was not an accident and it was the result

41
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of foul play. They discovered that she had been strangled

42
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>with a ligature, her body was fully clothed when it

43
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>was found, and there had not been any sexual assault.

44
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>The fact that her murder had taken place was horrendous

45
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>for the local community and of course must have been

46
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>utterly devastating to Patsy's family. How had this happened to Patsy,

47
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>who had done it, and why? It was hoped, given

48
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>that her body had been recovered from next to a

49
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 1>popular path on the heath, that someone would have seen

50
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 1>something on that Monday when Patsy had gone missing. Police

51
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>began asking local people and those that live close to

52
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 1>the area to come forward with any information that they

53
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>might have. They were very interested in anyone who had

54
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>seen Patsy between Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon to come

55
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>forward with any information. Police also began to warm parents

56
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to not allow their children to walk across the heath alone,

57
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>given that whoever had committed this murder was still out

58
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>there and at that point they were working with limited information.

59
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Patsy's family stated that They always told her not to

60
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>cross the heath alone, and this was something they continually

61
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 1>reminded her of. The fact that she may have crossed

62
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>it on the day that she disappeared was a large

63
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 1>part of the puzzle for the police. They began to

64
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 1>investigate this element of Patsy's day to see why she'd

65
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 1>been walking across the heath and when this had happened.

66
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>They were working under a theory that perhaps Patsy had

67
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>been playing truant from school that day. They were therefore

68
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 1>very interested in any other children who may have been

69
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 1>playing truant that day to come forward to say if

70
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 1>they'd also seen Patsy. They spoke to her friends to

71
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>find out where she usually went if she didn't attend school.

72
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Patsy's family provided an explanation for why she had left

73
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>school that day. A family friend, Kate Atwood, explained, Patsy

74
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't take an overcoat to school on Monday. She got

75
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>soaking wet. I should imagine she came home at lunchtime

76
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 1>to get her coat, but found she left her key indoors.

77
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>She didn't realize that I was at home and she

78
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 1>could have changed her clothes at my house. She must

79
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>have gone over the heath the Cavalry barracks to get

80
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 1>a key from her parents. Her mother also works in

81
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 1>the kitchens there. She broke the cardinal rule of the family.

82
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>We always tell our children always go across the heath

83
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 1>in pairs. This theory as to why Patsy had left

84
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 1>school that day made sense given that the location where

85
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>she was found was part way between her home and

86
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 1>the Cavalry barracks, where her father worked as an army

87
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>chef and her mother worked in the kitchens. If this

88
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>had been what happened, and someone had approached Patsy while

89
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>she was crossing the heath, how had she not been

90
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>found During the initial search, police were interested in anyone

91
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>that was seen in the area around the time that

92
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Patsy would have been crossing. One line of inquiry that

93
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 1>they were looking into was the nearby golf club adjacent

94
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 1>to the heath. It was believed that someone who had

95
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>been playing golf that day might have seen something that

96
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.759
<v Speaker 1>could help. They also wanted to establish who exactly was

97
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 1>on there, given that they needed to narrow down any suspects.

98
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Detective Superintendent John George from Scotland Yard said, we have

99
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>established that nineteen people paid green fees to play on

100
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 1>the course and the day Patsy was killed, but we

101
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>have only been able to trace five of them. Of course,

102
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>they may have seen nothing, but we believe the child

103
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 1>died within sight of the golf course, and we must

104
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 1>know if any player Saara, either alone or with anyone

105
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 1>else who could have been the killer. A photo fit

106
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>was created of one of the golfers that they wanted

107
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 1>to speak to. This man was thought to be a

108
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>novice golfer and believed to live locally. He was known

109
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to carry worn clubs and an old bag. He was

110
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>described as between thirty three and forty years old, of

111
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 1>a medium build, with brown, slightly graying hair and a

112
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 1>thin mustache. He had a chubby face and a tanned complexion.

113
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 1>He was apparently scruffy in appearance and wore a blue

114
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Fred Perry T shirt. The police acknowledged that none of

115
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>these people may have had anything to do with the murder,

116
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>but they needed to speak to them about it. They

117
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>were looking to speak to anyone that they believed might

118
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>have seen anyone that day, and by August nineteen eighty

119
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 1>they had reportedly spoken to around twelve thousand people. And

120
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>taken about seven hundred statements. Police explained they were actually

121
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 1>very interested in speaking to five specific people who had

122
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 1>been seen in the local area. One of them was

123
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 1>the novice golfer. Another man that they wanted to track

124
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>down was a passenger on the one one six bus

125
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.639
<v Speaker 1>who had boarded it outside the Hunsar pub. This man

126
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>was soaking wet and looked extremely disheveled. This may not

127
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 1>have been surprising on that day given the downpour of

128
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>rain that occurred, but he caught attention as he had

129
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.399
<v Speaker 1>been lent money for the journey from the driver. He

130
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 1>traveled from Hounslow to Stains, a town around eight miles away.

131
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>He was described as around thirty five years old and

132
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>five feet ten inches tall. He had an average build,

133
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>greasy hair which was cut sharp and comb back. He

134
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>was weather beaten and in need of a shave, with

135
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 1>an open white shirt, dark suit and black shoes. They

136
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 1>also wanted to trace the driver of a van that

137
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 1>had been seen parked on Patsy's street in Signa Avenue

138
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>on the day that Patsy went missing. This van was

139
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a royal blue color, either a Marina or an escort.

140
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>He was fairly clean, with two or three lines of

141
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 1>writing on the driver's door. The driver was between thirty

142
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>five and forty and had been seen reading newspapers and

143
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>using a telephone radio handset. Another lead that police wanted

144
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.279
<v Speaker 1>to follow up with was reports of two children riding

145
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>around on bicycles around that time, and they hoped that

146
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>they too may have seen something of interest. They were

147
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to gain as much information as they could from

148
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 1>the local community, but unfortunately it was as though nobody

149
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 1>had seen anything that day, and they were still none

150
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:38.639
<v Speaker 1>the wiser about what had actually happened. During the following months,

151
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 1>the police continued to track down as many leads as

152
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 1>they could and speak to as many people as they could.

153
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>By May nineteen eighty one, Patsy's death was still unsolved,

154
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>and at the inquest, West London Coroner Dr John Burton

155
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>ruled that she had been killed unlawfully. This was something

156
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 1>that police and her family already had a stable, but

157
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 1>this official ruling ensured that this was still indeed a

158
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>murder investigation. The coroner stated, I hope the time will

159
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 1>come when a person may be charged with her death.

160
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 1>Patsy's mum, Marjorie, stated that she believed the police were

161
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 1>doing all they could to try and catch Patsy's killer

162
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 1>and hopes that someone would come forward with information. She said,

163
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I would ask him to give himself up. It's ten

164
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>months now and it doesn't get any easier for us.

165
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It has been a trying time. The police have certainly

166
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.879
<v Speaker 1>done everything they can and put some hours into it.

167
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 1>I praise them for it. Despite doing everything they could,

168
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.639
<v Speaker 1>leeds began to dry up in the case, and the

169
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 1>hope of tracking down her killer was becoming all the

170
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 1>more remote given the time that was passing and the

171
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.440
<v Speaker 1>lack of evidence. It appeared that this is the way

172
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Patsy's case stayed for decades until two thousand and eight,

173
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 1>when a couple of things occurred to bring the case

174
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 1>back into the headlines once more. One was that a

175
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 1>man walked into a police station in Norfolk and confessed

176
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 1>to killing Patsy in nineteen eighty. The police took this

177
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>confession seriously to begin with and arrested the man. He

178
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>would eventually be released after they found out that he

179
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 1>was suffering from a mental health condition and that this

180
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>confession was a false one. This must have been a

181
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 1>blow after they finally believed that they had a solid

182
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>lead in the case after all these years. Also in

183
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight, Scotland Yard began reviewing new evidence

184
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 1>in the case after they received information that Levi Bellfield

185
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>had confessed to a cellmate to killing Patsy when he

186
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 1>was just twelve years old. Levi Bellfield is a serial

187
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>killer who has been charged with the murders of three

188
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>women in Marsha MacDonald, Amiie de Lagrange and Millie Dowler,

189
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:09.519
<v Speaker 1>and the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy. In nineteen eighty,

190
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Bellfield was twelve years old, and it was the following

191
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>year that he was charged with his first conviction for burglary.

192
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Bellfield attended the same school as Patsy. Felt mcomprehensive, however,

193
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>it's known that he attended there after Patsy had already died.

194
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>He did live in the area, though, and they found

195
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 1>out from friends that the pair of them were friends,

196
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>or at least knew one another. This therefore may not

197
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>have been above the realms of possibility. This came as

198
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a surprise to Patsy's family in two thousand and eight,

199
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 1>as they were not aware that they knew one another.

200
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Patsy's sister Nicholas spoke to the press saying we did

201
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>not know him. It was a shock when we found

202
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>out they knew each other. Friends told us about it.

203
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It's horrendous the crimes he has committed and the pain

204
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.960
<v Speaker 1>is suffering he's put on other families. We understand what

205
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>they have gone through. People say it heals over time,

206
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>but it never does. Patsy's dad, George, also told of

207
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.799
<v Speaker 1>an odd thing that occurred shortly after Patsy died, which,

208
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 1>in hindsight with this new information, seemed strange. He stated

209
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.919
<v Speaker 1>that he had received a phone call from a teenage

210
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 1>boy with a death threat. They didn't know who this

211
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>teenage boy was or how it was connected to the murder,

212
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.240
<v Speaker 1>and following a full investigation of these claims about Bellfield,

213
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>they could find no evidence that he had anything to

214
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>do with the murder. This was an interesting lead and

215
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 1>one that cannot be ruled out. However, it does not

216
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 1>mean that it's a solid lead. Bellfield was not the

217
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>only one that was looked into, and another serial killer,

218
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Peter Tobin, was looked into also as potentially another suspect.

219
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Tobin has been looked into for many crimes across the country,

220
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 1>as part of Operation Anna, and Patsy's was certainly not

221
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.879
<v Speaker 1>the only one that they looked into in relation to him. Again,

222
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>like Bellfield, no evidence was found to link him to

223
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the murder. Since then, Patsy's murder has remained unsolved, and

224
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>it is still that way today. It has now been

225
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 1>forty four years since it took place, and despite extensive

226
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>inquiries and investigation, no other information has been released about it.

227
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:32.399
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely a case that needs more attention, and while

228
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the link to Bellfield did get it more into their headlines,

229
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>it was not definitive and more people still need to

230
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>come forward to get this solved. The Met Police has

231
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>confirmed that there's no longer an active investigation going on

232
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>in Patsy's murder. However, they will always welcome tips. If

233
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 1>you know anything about Patsy's murder in nineteen eighty, you
