Her Fiance's ex-wife needed to be investigated more. His divorce was finalized only a month before their engagement was announced. Hiring someone to shoot your husband's new beau in the head when you can barely escape her face on TV and in papers does not seem out of the realms of possibility.

Ohhh interesting. Was there some overlap in dando relationship with this man and his ex wife? Divorces can take some time to finalise and a engagement usually happens say around the 18month mark of a relationship. Maybe he cheated with dando and the ex wife is a woman scorned. Could be could be. Was she looked into?

It was a reconciliation agreed separation. He remarried not long after Jill's murder and has two sons. Life carried on as normal as possible, the killer assembled the gun and bullet, this is far more convoluted than people think. It was most likely done from somebody's workshop, making it virtually impossible to track or trace. Not purchased nor manufactured. Shows a well planned and premeditated attack. Jill probably knew her killer too. Because it took her too long to reach her front door from setting her distinctive car alarm that Richard Hughes heard. The only mistake he made was leaving the perforated spen cartridge at the scene. He used a hard contact execution.

The fact that Jill was killed while briefly visiting the house she no longer lived at plus the sound she made when seeing the perpetrator that made it seem like she knew them makes me feel like the murder was planned by someone close to her. How would they know that she was going to be at her house VERY briefly? Wouldn’t they have hung around her fiancés house instead? Somehow they knew she would be at her house for just minutes. Seems like someone gave them some very inside information. Has anyone looked into the fiancé or his family? Maybe an ex of his?

As the mother of a, now grown up and 26 yrs old; son with Autism, I must "vent", and say that the police, (and actually general public), MUST understand that Autism is a disability that is SO BROAD and with different kinds of impairment! For a person who doesn't know someone with Autism, they can easily look guilty of things they HAVEN'T done! It is just because the subtleness of communication between humans, is DIFFICULT for them to understand and convey. They are often BRILLIANT in certain areas, (especially Asperger's people, who are HIGHTLY functional ), and due to that brilliance, they can often be overlooked as "just stupid, dumb, arrogant or in Barry's case... a Nutter".

So go ahead and make all the new laws you want, it makes no difference to Scarface. “Hey, let’s go rob this bank over here.” “Ok, just let me go register my illegal firearm at the gangster gun registry” “Ok Killer, I’ll just grab a mocha chino while I wait for you.” How dumb can you be?!? Gun laws, along with any other law, are only good for law abiding citizens!! Hello?!?!? Also, I can build a Mac11 firing 45acp in a couple hours, made from the bed frame rails and a spring from my mattress I’m laying on right now. Not to mention breach loading/mussel loading fire arms can be made in minutes. Regulate that! You can’t.

@@jplxlabelle1681 well of course people who had guns illegally didn't hand them in, but I think it's important to realise just how uncommon gun ownership was, and still is, in Britain. Gun crime is also very rare in the UK. We don't have a lot of shootings, even the big gangs don't have access to many firearms. Until this week, there hadn't been a mass shooting in the UK since 2011 - both the Cumbria Massacre in 2011 and the shootings in Plymouth this week were carried out by people using guns they held legally. No law is 100% effective, but the extreme rarity of gun crime in the UK shows that, at least in this country, gun control does work. However, it's also important to note that the difference in gun culture between the UK and US is an important factor in that - the same kind of gun control laws aren't necessarily going to work in a country with a completely different attitude and culture around firearms. I don't think a lot of Americans realise just how uncommon guns are in this country, even amongst criminals. That's exactly why the choice of weapon of criminals here tends to be knives.

I was in my early twenties when this happened. It was, and I believe still is, widely suspected to have been an establishment hit. There were some thoughts that there might have been some information she had on one of the royals or a cabinet member. And, looking at the state of it twenty years on, this doesn’t seem that outlandish anymore. To be completely honest, I cannot actually think of any other reason - as you say, she was respected and well liked. And this sort of thing had happened to nobody else on Crimewatch in its history, so I find the idea that some random crime lord did it rather dubious. I mean, why not Nick Ross, in that case?

Our geography teacher played a criminal on Crime Watch. He got it through an agency that deal with casual actors; basically like the Territorial Army of the acting world. Obviously, it being back in '92 there was no way of seeing it as it had been on telly a month before. Still, you saying that the actors didn't want to be confused with the real deal made me think of it. :D

I worked in photo labs for 10 years from 1990 to 2000. During that time we helped catching pedophiles. We would also often get rolls of film of just women walking down streets or of their shoes and feet. We would tell the police but they would just have a word with the person as it wasn't a criminal offence back then.
