12: The Hitchhiking Murders

12: The Hitchhiking Murders

On Saturday 14th March 1970, a farmer who lived at Knowles Pit Farm had left his home at around 9:30pm. He was on his way to feed his sheep some hay and had quickly left the house to do this errand. Knowles Pit Farm was located close to Mere in Knutsford, a town in the county of Cheshire around 14 miles South West of the city of Manchester. As Ted Whittaker, the farmer, went to feed his sheep he noticed something unusual in a small group of trees. It looked like clothing had been left in the trees at first glance. When Ted got closer to the area however he discovered that it was not just clothing that he had found it was in fact the body of a woman lay face down in the trees. The body would turn out to be 18 year old Jacqueline Ansell-Lamb. 7 months later the murder of Barbara Mayo in very similar circumstances would lead some to believe that these cases were possibly linked to the same killer.
