The Unsolved Murder of Journalist Jill Dando

Jill Dando was one of the most high profile personalities in England in 1999. She had been named BBC Personality of the Year and her career as a journalist was going from strength to strength. She was the host of ‘Crimewatch’ – a show similar to America’s Most Wanted, and she presented the television news daily.

Her personal life was also flourishing. She was engaged to Dr Alan Farthing (Queen Elizabeth’s personal doctor), and their wedding was set for later in 1999.

On April 26, 1999, Jill went to her house in Fulham, London. She was selling the property because she had moved in with Alan. She went to her own place sporadically to get mail. As she put her keys to the lock, a man ambushed Jill. He pressed a gun to her head and fired. Jill Dando was murdered in cold blood.

Now, almost 24 years later, Jill’s murder remains unsolved. A man named Barry George was arrested for the crime and was later acquitted. Was Barry really responsible? Could her murder have been the result of a jilted lover? Was Jill murdered as retribution for her role in Crimewatch? Or was she targeted for her journalistic involvement in the Kosovo War?

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the unsolved murder of ‘Crimewatch’ host Jill Dando.
