    Just giving this a bump.

    The 2 part series begins on the Sky History channel at 9 o'clock tonight with the tale of George Davis. From my memories and subsequent reading of the case, the person really deserving sympathy is the armed robber's late ex-wife Rose.

    The James Hanratty case is featured at the same time next week.

    Sky History can be watched on NowTV. https://www.nowtv.com/stream/sky-history

    I think it's £9.99 for a month's subscription or £6.99 per month for a minimum of 6 months.

    This unnecessary carelessness misleads people not familiar with the case. I don't know how many further mistakes she makes in the remaining 55 minutes
    as I didn't have the patience or inclination to watch any further.
    Ditto.. I sent her a comment ,since she asked for opinions, I stated ‘not guilty’ and my reasons why. Then I asked if she could attempt to have Chief Superintendent Roger Mathews’s full report released into the public domain . She was negative about this and suggested I do it. (LOL) Doesn’t look like she is particularly interested in the Hanratty case, just rolling the blogs off the assembly line !

    As far as I'm led to believe Moste, Roger Matthews passed away sometime between 2022 and 2023. I could be mistaken of course.

    I don't know how many copies of the report were printed DJW but it's remarkable that the copy which I bought [about 9 years ago] should happen to be the exact same copy that was uploaded [by whoever] onto the Internet Archive website.

    If it is him, he was a very busy man to all accounts ,with his involvement in post career criminology. Writing books and so forth. Since it was a death from corvid and therefor not sudden, I wonder if it crossed his mind to have someone release his report into public domain.
