British Murders Unsolved | Episode 3: Billie-Jo Jenkins (Hastings, East Sussex, 1997) | Feat. Naomi from REAL True Crime Podcast

Billie-Jo Jenkins was a bright and lively 13-year-old with her whole life ahead of her. But in February 1997, her world was cruelly cut short in one of the most perplexing and heartbreaking unsolved murders in the UK.


While painting the patio doors at her foster home in Hastings, East Sussex, Billie-Jo was brutally attacked and left for dead in broad daylight. The horrific crime shocked the nation, sparking a media frenzy and a police investigation that pointed to a suspect close to home.


Her foster father was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison. But controversy struck when he was acquitted after serving just six years, leaving Billie-Jo's family and the public grappling with unanswered questions.


To this day, her murder officially remains unsolved.
