00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Hi, and welcome to The Unseen Podcast, a podcast dedicated

2
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>to missing people, unresolved cases, and UK true crime. Today,

3
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be covering the nineteen sixty three murder

4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>of twenty three year old Linda Cook. Her murder in

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the Yorkshire town of red Car has remained unsolved for

6
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>over fifty years, and there are many mysteries surrounding this

7
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>case which have never had an answer. This episode contains

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>descriptions that some listeners may find distressing, so listener discretion

9
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>is advised. Red Car is a seaside town located on

10
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 1>the Yorkshire coast, around seven miles away from Middlesbrough. Like

11
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.359
<v Speaker 1>many of the UK's seaside resorts, red Car grew in

12
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>popularity during the Victorian era as tourists flock to the

13
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>areas to relax and to heal many chronic illnesses that

14
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>it was believed that the sea air could fix. Entertainment

15
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>pavilions and large hotels with ballrooms were built to support

16
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>the growth in popularity, and when the Victorian era ended,

17
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>red Car and the area of Teaside in general became

18
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>known for the production of steel. This dominated the post

19
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 1>war era. By nineteen sixty three, Red Car was firmly

20
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>in this era, and it was a working class town,

21
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>with many people working within the steel industry or within

22
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Red Car itself. Many young couples were also enjoying many

23
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of the freedoms at the early sixties afforded them. Twenty

24
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>three year old Linda Margaret Koke and twenty five year

25
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>old Clark Michael Cook or Michael as he seemed to prefer,

26
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>were one such couple. By nineteen sixty three, they had

27
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>been married for around three years and Linda was working

28
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 1>as a receptionist for around three different doctors in Red Car.

29
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Those that knew Linda knew her to be a fun,

30
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>loving and confident person who clearly had a good reputation

31
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>in the job role that she had. Her and Michael

32
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>were leasing a flat from Linda's employer above the doctor's

33
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>surgery where she worked on Kirkleapham Lane. While Linda's life

34
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>had been going the way that she'd planned before this point,

35
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 1>by nineteen sixty three, it was clear that there were

36
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>some growing issues with her marriage to Michael. Michael would

37
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>later explain that by the end of August nineteen sixty three,

38
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>they had hit a troubled patch it had got to

39
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the point where they decided to move out of the

40
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>flat that they were leasing together. It had become so

41
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 1>serious that Linda had decided to resign from her job

42
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 1>and moved to Leeds to live with her father. Michael

43
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 1>had moved to another flat on Queen Street in the meantime.

44
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 1>He would later state that during that time they'd continue

45
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to speak and be on relatively amicable terms. On Saturday,

46
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the twenty first of September, Linda and Michael had agreed

47
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>to meet at the flat where they lived together. They

48
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 1>had some belongings that they needed to sort out and

49
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 1>move out of the flat, and so they did that. Afterwards,

50
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Michael stated that they had a coffee together. After they'd

51
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>finished coffee, Michael said that Linda left at around twelve

52
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty pm and he watched her walk down the high

53
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 1>street and then go inside a shop for Michael. He

54
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>said there was nothing unusual about this interaction. Michael was

55
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>not the last person to see Linda that day, though,

56
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and at around two thirty pm. Around two hours later,

57
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Linda was spotted leaving a hotel in Red car After

58
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>leaving the hotel, she went into a nearby shop and

59
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>bought some corn beef. Since splitting from Michael around six

60
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 1>weeks earlier, Linda had become friends with another man, who

61
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 1>later explained she was staying in his flat with him

62
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 1>from Friday, the twentieth of September and was planning on

63
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>staying with him until the Monday, when she left for Leeds.

64
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 1>This man stated that he saw Linda at the flat

65
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 1>until around eight pm on that Saturday, when she told

66
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>him she needed to leave and go to the doctor's

67
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>office because she had some business that she needed to

68
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>finish up. He explained that he also left the flat

69
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>at about eight thirty pm and went out for some

70
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>drinks with friends. He said he returned back to the

71
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>flat at around ten forty five pm. Linda was not

72
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 1>there when he returned. Green Lane is located in Mask,

73
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 1>a coastal village around three miles from red Car. The

74
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>lane runs alongside the Middlesbrough to Saltburn Railway and has

75
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>been known as a lane which court in couples often

76
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>visit together due to to its semi rural location. At

77
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>around seven am on Sunday, the twenty second of September,

78
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>a milk delivery driver was on his rounds in his

79
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>milk wagon and was heading down Green Lane. As the

80
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>driver continued on, he explained he saw something on the

81
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>grass verge. As he approached, she realized it was a

82
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>woman's body lay prone on the floor. He later stated

83
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 1>it was on the side with the hand propped up

84
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>against the railings. The long grass nearby was undisturbed and

85
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>her clothes were neatly arranged. The woman was wearing a

86
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>pink woolen two piece suit with a tight fitting skirt

87
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and black heels. She looked from a distance as though

88
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>she'd been undisturbed, and from the descriptions that I can find,

89
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>it didn't look like a violent incident had occurred before

90
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>her death. This discovery was alarming and was of course

91
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>reported in immediately to the police. An identification was quickly made.

92
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 1>The woman was Linda Margaret Cook. A post martin was

93
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 1>conducted by Professor Cyril John Paulson, a professor's Forensic Medicine

94
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 1>at Leeds University, and he established that her cause of

95
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>death was asphyxia due to throttling and an obstruction in

96
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the throat. While the scene did not look violent, it

97
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>was certainly a murder. Linda had been strangled, but with

98
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>manual strangulation, not with a ligature. There were also no

99
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>signs of violence or sexual assault. Police were extremely interested

100
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>in finding out where Linda had been before her body

101
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>had been discovered around three miles away, what had happened,

102
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 1>and who had Linda been with before this point. They

103
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>were also aware that the lane was often used by

104
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>courting couples and was within sight of the railway route

105
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>between Saltburn and Middlesbrough. This informed the first appeals that

106
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>police made to the public about Linda's murder. Detective Superintendent

107
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 1>William Tennett, who was in charge of the investigation, explained

108
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 1>that any courting couples who may have visited Green Lane

109
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.439
<v Speaker 1>that night or early morning could come forward in strictest confidence.

110
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 1>They also wanted to know if anyone was on the

111
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 1>train on Saturday night to come forward if they saw

112
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>anything unusual in the lane while they passed by. Police

113
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 1>explained that the trains sometimes stopped by the spot where

114
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Linda's body was eventually found, and they passed by every

115
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes or so. There was even a theory put

116
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 1>forward that it could have been possible for the killer

117
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.519
<v Speaker 1>and Linda to have exited the train when it stopped

118
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 1>at this location. However, I'm unsure how far this theory

119
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>was investigation or if it was based in evidence. The

120
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>evidence that police did have, however, was not much. Linda's

121
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 1>handbag appeared to have been found at the scene, and

122
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>police found a diary inside which contained the names of

123
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>multiple people. These names were certainly a line of inquiry

124
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 1>for police, who tried to trace each one. There was

125
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>trace evidence which was examined by doctor Ian Barclay, director

126
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of the Home Office Forensic Science Lab at Harrogate. He

127
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>found traces of carpet fibers that had been found on

128
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Linda's sheepskin jacket. These fibers were examined with the technology

129
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 1>available in nineteen sixty three. However, they were unable to

130
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 1>identify their source. While they could not be identified, the

131
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 1>fact that carpet fibers were found on her coat indicated

132
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that she had been somewhere where her coat had been

133
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 1>touching the ground or even a car mat fiber. This

134
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>also gave rise to the hypothesis that Linda could have

135
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>traveled to the location in it car and this car

136
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 1>could have been stolen. This line of inquiry didn't go

137
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:09.399
<v Speaker 1>too far, though, as there hadn't been any cars reported

138
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.399
<v Speaker 1>stolen in the local area during the time that Linda

139
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>was murdered. Police also seemed to draw a blank on

140
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Linda's timeline before she was murdered. There were several documented

141
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>sightings of Linda that day, by her husband who saw

142
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 1>her at lunchtime, the witness who saw her leaving a

143
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>red car hotel at two thirty pm, and then by

144
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 1>John Alexander Selby, whom Linda was staying with before leaving

145
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>for her father's house in Leeds. During a later inquiry

146
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>until Linda's death, Selby was asked about his movements that

147
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 1>night and when he last saw Linda. Here is where

148
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a discrepancy in the initial reporting of Linda's movements

149
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:01.159
<v Speaker 1>by the press and the more recent reporting. During reporting

150
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>at the time, Selby said Linda combed her hair and

151
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>did her face and left the flat at three point

152
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>fifteen pm, not eight pm, which has been reported in

153
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 1>other places. He did confirm that he left the flat

154
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 1>at eight thirty pm in all of the reporting. Selby

155
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>said in this article, I went out at about eight

156
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty pm and met some friends for a drink. I

157
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 1>returned to the flat at about ten forty five pm.

158
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>The coroner, mister B. Wilkinson, replied, you were expecting her

159
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>back at the flat. Were you not surprised or worried

160
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>when she didn't turn up? Selby replied, I thought she

161
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.559
<v Speaker 1>may have gone across to her mother's or that her

162
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 1>father may have tried to bring about reconciliation. The fact

163
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 1>that Selby mentioned that Linda may have been reconciling with

164
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>her father gave a hint of something more going on

165
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>at the time that has not been indicated by other reporting.

166
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 1>This statement could mean that her father was trying to

167
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>bring a boat reconciliation between Linda and her husband. It

168
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>could also mean Linda and her father had fallen out.

169
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>This is less likely, but the fact that there is

170
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>ambiguity here certainly doesn't help. It's a tantalizing suggestion which

171
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 1>is not elaborated on in any of the articles that

172
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I can find, and I have read nothing about her

173
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 1>father seeing her that evening in any of the reporting.

174
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Police were unable to find out where Linda was for

175
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.919
<v Speaker 1>most of the day after two thirty pm, when she

176
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>was spotted by a witness. Aside from the evidence given

177
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.159
<v Speaker 1>by Selby, there is no indication that she was with

178
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>anyone else that we haven't heard of, and the frustrating

179
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.519
<v Speaker 1>part is there is little information reported on as to

180
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 1>whether she did go to the doctor's office as she

181
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>told Selby, and if she did, when did she leave.

182
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 1>This could have also been an important lead, given that

183
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 1>this would have narrowed down her timeline. It was evident

184
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that local police were frustrated by the lack of cooperation

185
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>from the local community. Detective Superintendent William Tennant said at

186
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 1>the time has come to my notice that persons have

187
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>been heard boasting they know something but don't want to

188
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>become involved. He explained he believed local people were withholding

189
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 1>information from the investigation, which could be crucial. During the

190
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.840
<v Speaker 1>early days of the investigation, much was made of the

191
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 1>fact that a man was helping them with their investigation

192
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>of his own volition and was being cooperative. There is

193
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>not much reported about who this man was, however, and

194
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>no charges were ever brought against them, whoever they were.

195
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>The investigation hit many a brick wall along the way,

196
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 1>with little evidence as to where Linda was during that

197
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Saturday evening and with little physical evidence to examine. As

198
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Speaker 1>a result, Scotland Yard were asked to become involved in

199
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the investigation and detectives from London came to support with enquiries.

200
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.879
<v Speaker 1>It reported that in three months of the investigation, four

201
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 1>thousand people were questioned and around two thousand statements were

202
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 1>taken from people in relation to the case, but despite this,

203
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>it did not appear they got any closer to finding

204
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>out the truth of what happened to Linda Cock On

205
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the twenty first of September nineteen sixty three, months and

206
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>years began to pass with little information being provided about

207
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the case, and unfortunately, now in twenty twenty five, this

208
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>is how Linda's case remains. The most recent article I

209
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 1>can find comes from twenty fourteen from Teeside Live, which

210
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>basically states very similar facts which were reported during the

211
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty articles. There does not seem to be much

212
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>more progress made on the investigation since it began. This

213
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>begs the question is there any evidence surviving where DNA

214
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>technology be used to find out more. This may be

215
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 1>the only route at this point that the case may

216
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>be solved, as witnesses from the time may be few

217
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and far between as the time ticks on. This is

218
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>one of those cases where it's difficult to even speculate

219
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>as there are so few details. It's clear that Linda

220
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 1>met with someone that night, either someone she knew or

221
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>someone who met her that evening, and that this meeting

222
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.399
<v Speaker 1>went awry. This person has been living amongst the public

223
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:34.279
<v Speaker 1>since then, undetected, and this is always such a scary thought.

224
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.759
<v Speaker 1>If you know anything about the murder of Linda Cook
