Jill Dando murder 20 years on

put a million reward up for a conviction someone will talk always do

that retired chief inspector had some front being so prominent in the programme. think i'd have been keeping my head down

At some stage that Day Jill was followed failing that Someone who knew her Tipped off the Killer .

I watched this on iPlayer, the whole thing was pushing the audience to conclude Barry George likely did it.

Hamish Campbell was given half the programme. Just seemed to decide 'it must have been a local nutter' and went looking for the local nutter. He felt the fact that Jill did not actually live at her address somehow made it more likely that a stalker type must have done it, as the hitman conspiracy suspects would not have known when she would show up at the house, while a stalker would just hang around until she did.

I'd have thought the opposite more likely: that someone with a serious motive would know enough to be aware of her movements, while the nutjob would be stood in the street for days unless he had lottery type luck. But Campbell seemed more into gut feelings than logical analysis.

Of course Campbell was the cop who set Operation Grange in motion, and directed that it proceed 'as if the abduction had taken place in Britain'. All lines of enquiry not relating to abduction dismissed out of hand, just like all non nutter possibilities were disregarded in the Jill Dando case.

At least Campbell retired before Grange got going properly or a Portuguese Barry George might be banged up by now.

You cant believe the BBC would tell you the truth on a subject like this surely? What did they say at the end? Something like "A case that might never be solved" and that's the way they want it.

Mental Illness always has to be considered ....

I remember it very well I was going to chitchester with my ex wife in my car  when I heard
It on the radio

The Police will never admit they got the wrong man

But I think they did


Maybe it will be solved in a 100 years time, who knows??????

they never got the ripper. But that was quite a while ago & forensic science has moved on a tad. Mind you how many co ck ups did the police make in the Yorkshire version? Jills unsolved murder is an embarrassment to the Met; but it isn't the only one. Maybe they just aren't clever enough? Or just maybe, they've been stuck too long in labs & in front of PCs & should try and use some old fashioned shoe leather & brain cells

I heard Savile mentioned .

georges wiki page makes interesting reading, you never know how much of what he might have said is true,
and why he would say it, indeed sometimes if he said it or was led to say it.

he has sued newspapers for libel, but no compo for his unsafe conviction.

george didn't get any compo cos to get any you have to prove you were innocent as opposed to being found not guilty or the conviction declared unsafe

needless to say it's virtually impossible to prove innocence short of a cast iron alibi and if he had that would never have been charged in the first place

just a ridiculous ruse to save the home office money

Remember they found hundreds of newspapers in his flat.Then wading through these hundreds of newspapers found articles about jill dando.From this they concluded he had a fixation about her.

The Plain fact is Either George was knocking about  the Street 24/7 with a gun , or he Did not not do it ,if he had been loitering witnesses would have said so ..
