May 5th: Paula Hounslea's Body Found (2012) Sometimes it seems like police know who the killer is but don’t have enough evidence to bring forth charges. At least, not enough to ensure a conviction. On May 5th 2012 a woman disappeared and, though it seems like police have a good idea of who might be responsible, the only people arrested had to be let go without any charges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Paula_Hounslea, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2158934/Daughter-woman-charred-bones-years-disappeared-arrested-suspicion-murder.html, https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/evidence-revealed-mystery-death-liverpool-7035646, https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/inquest-paula-hounslea-death-adjourned-6856142, https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-19330733, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/mhqz6t/the_disappearance_and_death_of_paula_hounslea_the/, https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/paula-hounslea-murder-her-daughter-was-one-882400, https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/paula-hounslea-death-body-of-mum-833116 Learn more about your ad choices.

May 3rd: Suzy Lamplugh Born (1961) Sometimes there is a clear answer to a case but, for one reason or another, the evidence isn’t enough to land a conviction. On May 3rd 1961 a young woman was born who would, at the age of 25, suddenly disappear while in the company of a mystery man. A man who, police are certain, they have identified but have never been able to convict for her abduction and murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Suzy_Lamplugh, https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/main-suspect-suzy-lamplugh-murder-27214138, https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/suzy-lamplughs-disappearance-familys-last-27219878, https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/disappearance-of-suzy-lamplugh, https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/suzy-lamplugh-killer-prison-deathbed-b2099674.html, https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1515149/suzy-lamplugh-estate-agent-disappear-trust-2018-search/, https://metro.co.uk/2022/06/13/prime-suspect-in-1986-murder-of-suzy-lamplugh-is-on-his-deathbed-16816058/, Learn more about your ad choices.
