Unless you like Preserve them cryogenically isn't he can apply to old cases to try and progress them in early 2005 Jennifer was living a transient life on the streets of Eastbourne It hadn't always been like this a few years before Jennifer had been living in a house in London with her partner and three children She's just a normal mother You know She just she loved to play with her children. She would sit down on the floor and play with them She was a good mom She just loved her kids But shortly after the birth of her third child her mental health suffered and she struggled to cope I Think she was on the verge of an nervous breakdown. We tried to help her but Jennifer was too proud She had postpartum. He said after the third pregnancy, you know having kids like You know, you can go through stuff mentally like You know postpartum And with every child is different She's too proud By now she had become a well-known character in Eastbourne Pushing her belongings around in an old buggy wearing a distinctive long gray coat and sleeping where she could She did seek support from charities such as the Salvation Army So people would have known her from charitable organizations such as that Detectives were able to piece to Detectives were able to piece together her last known movements on the evening of the 21st of January 2005 Jennifer had spent the day with friends and address in Upton Gardens. She'd come and gone from the address during the day After having a bath at her friend's house Jennifer left the address at around midnight And headed back Onto the streets at one o'clock in the morning.

It's unlit At five in the morning Jennifer's body was discovered by cleaners in the furthest shelter along the Seafront towards Beachy Head So this is the beach shelter where Jennifer was found The beach shelter has been partially reconstructed. So it's not exactly how it would have been in 2005 but when Jennifer was found by the cleaners she was completely inside the shelter where you see the benches now Jennifer was found with multiple stab wounds Her belongings were all piled on top of her and she had been satellite That sounds personal. I don't know how anybody could have done that. It's incomprehensible She was no threat But he took her life from her and took mine too to a certain extent Despite a major police investigation and a nationwide appeal on crime watch. Well Please don't let Jennifer's killer get away with it. Three children have lost their mother Police were not able to find her killer The biggest challenge this investigation was probably Jennifer's lifestyle There wasn't an address was to go and search she didn't use mobile phones There wasn't a financial footpath. It was difficult to track down people that may have had contact with Jennifer She was living like a, you know, she was living a homeless type lifestyle who's no connection She was she was what's that where she was off the grid There's no way you can even develop like a trace of what happened We didn't know if this is somebody who knew Jennifer or whether it was a stranger This was a very very complicated case to try and solve the investigation was reopened in 2011 and then again in 2017 when developments in forensics gave detectives a new line of inquiry We have now got new DNA at the scene Which is very significant for this investigation, but we need to find the person who's DNA that is We really need the public to come forward with help us on this January saw yet another anniversary of Jennifer's murder It is the 18th her mother Margaret has endured I think about her every day, but on her anniversary.

Thanks so much for coming on the program today Um, can you just stop by telling us a bit about edward? What was he like as a person? Yeah, so edward was 53 when he went missing from sacriston A local minor in the colliery report missing by his sister on march the 25th 2002 Despite numerous inquiries and searches over 300 people spoken to he essentially vanished without a trace On that basis the murder investigation was launched. We still think it was a murder today And he was a quiet and unassuming man, wasn't he? You're really trying to understand what happened He was he was um and that in itself is one of the reasons why we really need to find out what happened because of the fact He was quiet and unassumed. Absolutely. Well, let's go through some details because we've got a still that was taken from some cctv This is from the day he disappeared. So this is the the edward on the morning that he disappeared Just talk us through what what we can see here. Yeah, certainly So we know that edward visited Lloyd's bank in sacriston between 10 and 10 30 a.m On the day he disappeared with drew all of the cases that come on this show like cold cases that have that are like That can't be solved or or the cops are having a hard time solving And I have no clue at all was 160 pounds in cash And we know that that took place about three hours before his last ever sighting Now you've pieced together what you can of his final movements In fact, we've we've got a map that just helps to illustrate it in a bit more detail So let's let's talk through this. What've we got here, Lee? Yeah, so we can see the the bank visit there on the left-hand side And then the the very last sighting uh was on plowsworth rule just inside the red lion pub at about 13 45 hours uh or just before and We're really keen understand what happened After that sighting and you can imagine their family even more so Yeah, absolutely. They're just looking for answers aren't they it's it's been a long time without them Um, can you just give us a bit more of a detailed description of edward? Yep, certainly. So Edward was five foot eight in height uh, mostly brown hair pale skin non-luckly as eddie live with his sister minor as I say Quite an unsuming as you said earlier. There are some unusual elements to this case I feel like eddie just skipped town. He ain't want to deal with it no more He just got about it. He was like, all right. I've had enough. So aren't they let me go draw this 160 Let me get to where I'm going and I figure it out there. Can you tell us a bit more about that? Yeah, so sometime uh between the visit to the bank to draw the 160 pounds and being reported missing the money the bank book And his house keys ended up back in his warm address and we're really keen to understand how that happened and what allowed that to happen Oh, so he didn't take the money. Okay. Okay Yeah, of course, it's trying to put all these pieces together to build up the complete picture There were extensive searches conducted at the time. What did you glean from them? Yeah, so over 300 people were spoken to as part of the inquiry. We uh, we scoured the local countryside mineshafts forests No sign of edward sadly whatsoever and ever since then we've been convinced that it was a it was a murder And as you said, it's been 20 well 21 years tomorrow since edward disappeared How can the viewers that are watching this morning at home help? So sacrifice to honestly, this is my thought process on these these officers that's coming on here 21 years this one the last one was 20 how long 18 years If y'all couldn't figure it out in in the first two out two years We'll make y'all think we got something to say about it I think that what they're trying to do is trying to get somebody to come through with a guilty conscience that knows something Which is you know, they got to try they got to exhaust every single avenue I'm pretty sure like it has worked before but it's my first time watching so I'm just you know There's a very small closely knit Mining community people are born there Live there work there. We're convinced somebody in that village knows what's happened Allegiance has changed. There's been a bit of time passed We really hope somebody will come forward and shed some light on everything we've talked about Just so we can give the family the closure that they deserve Yeah, they need some closure and sadly edward's sister passed away without knowing what happened to him So as you say the family really needs some justice and some answers lee. Thank you so much As we said 21 years since edwards disappearance Do you have any details that could help solve this case? If you do please get in touch with us using the details below I'm almost sure like what what age audience watches crown watch Because I'm almost you said 21 years ago. There's people that wasn't even born when that happened that you're trying to appeal to Which like I said, you know, let leave no stone unturned In 2022 female joggers were being approached and assaulted by an unknown man in bristol But police set up a covert operation to find and stop him In march 2022 Police in bristol began receiving reports of a series of sexual assaults All in the early hours of the morning and all in the bishopsworth area We had four reports of different women All on their own Um, some of them had headphones in so they didn't see the perpetrator coming up behind them The victims when they came to us were extremely traumatized Um, you know really distraught really upset about what happened. This was a stranger attack Really really frightening When the victims all gave similar descriptions of their attacker police suspected they were dealing with a serial offender It seemed to be escalating And if we didn't act quickly I was absolutely certain we would have had a more serious offense occur in that area Police began trawling through cctv taken and that was my next question like how deep is the You know slobbered how deep is the assault? Like what kind what was done? The areas where the attacks took place And they found this He suddenly starts following all victim. He sees her He follows her as she runs up the hill He puts a face mask on and then runs off after her and then it goes he runs up the hill following all Found this He suddenly starts following all victim. He sees premeditated pervertism Pervertism He's her he follows her as she runs up the hill He puts a face mask on and then runs off after her and then it goes off her camera That was it enough to give us a clearer description of actually who this person was What he looked like how he ran how he behaved Detectives had seen enough and decided to try and catch the attacker red-handed Due to the escalating behavior, we took the decision to Put out an operation and put people out in plain clothes in that area that night The team focused their efforts on a bus stop and junction where the man had been seen regularly That particular evening the team consisted of approximately eight people they went out as it got dark and Carried out the the covert tactics and around waiting watching After a few hours officers spotted a man loitering around the bus Very few buses go through there at that time in the morning And from the images from the cctv and the way he walked They became suspicious of this mail So the decision was made one of the officers would approach this mail And the mail actually started talking to the officer Asking them for a lighter and as they talked to him His story didn't quite add up of why he was there and and what he was doing And you know the officer's opinion and suspicion was was raised that actually we think that's him That's when we decided that we would arrest him Well not red-handed, but you know what I'm saying on suspicion That that face right on the game 27 year old craig pierce all lived locally and had no criminal history He refused to talk so officers began searching through his mobile phone and computers On them they found evidence of more crimes We were able to identify that actually he'd filmed numerous victims on his mobile phone Clearly following further people other than the known victims we had So we started to try and piece together his behavior his offending and try and identify for the victims Police also found evidence piercele had been secretly filming up women's skirts And detectives were able to identify and inform one of his victims How was they able to do that kind of detective work was they know how how do they do that And detectives were able to identify and inform one of his victims The victim had been filmed by craig piercele from behind Where he'd filmed under her skirt And had then continued to follow her so we were able to Identify the locations And managed to identify her home dress and that's when we went. Oh, okay. So yeah identified her location I'm looking like how did I identify for her and spoke to her Identified and informed her that she'd been a victim of upskirting She was absolutely mortified by that Had no idea that she'd been a victim of crime Had never seen craig piercele before I'm gonna be honest with y'all entire life Like I'm talking whole life Her nobody get Get convicted of that crime Like this is like I thought that was like a I don't know what I thought but like I didn't I didn't know I was extremely shocked by what we were telling her I'm shocked that dude was doing this A trawl of piercele's computer Also revealed evidence that he'd been trying to obtain indecent images of children This painted a horrible picture of an individual that was a predator Towards women and lone females But also showed this hidden Um predatory behavior towards children Piercele was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison and was Added to the sex offenders register for life Craig piercele was in my opinion a dangerous individual He is a predator a danger to to women When I leave the house, I find that I am anxious I still find the sound of running footsteps behind me extremely frightening Ever since that day, I feel like my entire life has plummeted It's hard to put into words the way he has affected me in my life I can no longer walk down the road on my own Even if this is in the middle of the day without this crushing feeling of fear Without the the victims coming forward being brave And reporting these incidents to the police Craig piercele would still be out in the community and I have no doubt that he would be continuing to offend Such fast work there to find their suspect now earlier We spoke to the front line singers a vocal group made up of police officers, paramedics, nurses and other Key workers who came together during the pandemic We asked the founders James Beanie and Gina Giorgio What motivated them to start this up in the first place? Okay, here's where the comedy comes in.

That's right So the the original Stranger World video that we released during the lockdown was for NHS charities together And then The fact that they just went from my bad The fact that they just went from somebody being convicted of upskirting to this is wild To BGT, we sort of properly recorded the the single Stranger World at Abbey Road Studios Which was an amazing experience Wow, Abbey Road Studios, that's where Jordan, that's where Jordan did his last project Obviously for his first project For the group And yeah, that was released for Frontline 19 Which is a charity that offers psychological support So people on the front line who have obviously suffered Such an all gone through such a difficult period during the pandemic And Gina, tell us the importance then of what you are going to sing for us today So the song is called Strange Old World and it is exact We get a damn song and I'm going to have to mute it, y'all know how it goes See about that, how strange the world is and the unexpected things that it throws our way But it's about standing together as a community to get through it Oh, well, thank you so much to all of you for coming today We're really looking forward to hearing the song at the end of the program Oh, we're going to wrap it up with that song Okay Now this series, we've heard remarkable stories of those involved on the Frontline and the legal system And now it's time to hear both the physical and emotional journey of Adir Enke Apata My name is Adir Enke Apata When I was growing up in Nigeria, I went into the University of Lagos The best in the country I was looking forward to becoming a microbiologist But there was a part of me that was hidden I got discovered to be having a relationship with the same sex person like myself So you're a community member? And wrong with that, salute to the community And I was taken to a Sharia court and if the judgment was passed Wait, what? I was such a sex person like myself Wait, wait, wait, wait There was a part of me that was hidden because the best in the country I was looking forward to becoming a microbiologist So in Lagos, you were in school to become a microbiology But you got caught for having, you know, same sex relations and things of that nature And they took you to, wait, what? There was a part of me and I was taken to a Sharia court And if the judgment was passed, I was going to be sentenced to death So I had to suddenly flee Nigeria for my safety That's why I ended up in the U.S. Okay, Nigeria, they don't play about that But the penalty, like the punishment was death? I was then dispersed to Manchester I started sleeping off And sleeping off for me was, it was an experience that any human being should have really Because to the extent that I would sleep at people's backyards, Sheds, even bus stops And begging for food It is against the law to work if you're still seeking asylum And when I walked, I got caught working And I got sent to prison for that I am sorry for that I broke the law at the time But I was so desperate I needed to feed myself That was when I was facing deportation You definitely couldn't get deported You was, deportation for you was life and death I couldn't afford to pay for a solicitor And so I had to start researching And whilst I was in detention center, a lot of people told me then That I should go and read law It took me 13 years to get granted refugee status But when I was told I was relieved I just started crying It didn't really sink that I could become a barrister one day When I was called to the bar, that was one of the When I was called a barrister, it didn't really sink That I could become a barrister I never knew that was what y'all called like judges out there Like because when initially when she said it until I seen the headpiece until she said that After she was talking about her Starbucks employee making coffee I'm not even lying to you. I'm like barista, what? One day, when I was called to the bar, that was one of the most memorable days of my life I'm trying to help other people in the same situation that I was in Who are fleeing persecution also So I'm from the charity called African Rainbow Family We have five centers in the UK We have over nearly 900 people that we support every year My hope is that those that have been granted their stay Would continue to help the other people coming so that they also can get the freedom that they deserve We need safety and sanctuary for people who have been persecuted back in their countries in the UK African Rainbow Family has actually helped so many people To secure refugee status in the UK I feel it's important for me really to share the knowledge that I have in helping other people to be able to be safe And just so that other people will not find themselves in the same way that I was Because being homeless being I mean, anyway, that's the goal man help other people to other people can walk You got thrown on that fire so other people can You know Stay heat resistant You sank so that other people can flow. That's the one. That's the best one Care of the future It's not It's it's not something that I want any other person to go through Now it's time for the last of this series Wanted Faces First you recognize this man. He's called Ron Domey. Although. He also uses the name Alex Brussels He looked guilty whatever whoever he is officers in Bedfordshire wants to speak to him in connection with a serious offense He's of slim build has blue eyes and shaved dark In connection with a serious offense he's of slim build has blue eyes In the comments, is that green or blue? Is something wrong with me? He's in shaved dark hair He speaks with an Albanian accent and has links to lutein in Bedfordshire Edmonton, Ealing and Acton in London Next Adam Lloyd He's known to have used a number of other names including Fatima, James, Perry and Lee and the surnames Haynes, Lloyd and Slender He's been recalled to prison But has disappeared the 27 year old is slim build with dark blonde hair and a small one centimeter scar under his left eye Also has a large tattoo of a rose on his chest and a crown on his wrist Or have a look at this man or just Jebus you officers in south york should believe He may have vital information about a murder the 39 year old has a receding hairline and wears a close shaved beard Vital information about a murder the 39 year old has a receding hairline and wears That's emotional distressment There's a close shaved beard originally from Albania, but also speaks italian He has connections across england including the whole of yorkshire humberside Bedfordshire, Leicestershire and also Essex And finally for the run have you seen Steve Shannon officers in Merseyside want to speak with him about some firearm related offenses The 28 year olds of slim build with dark curly brown hair and brown eyes All the faces from this series are on our website and if you have any information do get in touch Our final film this series is the incredible police work that went into identifying and catching a gang of some of the country's most ruthless thieves Every single one of us in that investigation knew that these were very very dangerous people They were cynically committing crime in our communities And they had to be stopped Thames valley is home to some of the most picturesque towns and villages She's in England, but in 2019 the area was thrown into turmoil As a spate of ATM attacks took place We were dealing with some sophisticated criminals who were using techniques and tactics which are generally used by organised crime groups The gang blew apart ATMs with explosive gases to get to the cash Generally these offenses can be completed within three or four minutes by skilled criminals The ATMs that were attacked were in small convenience stores sometimes in residential areas One victim grabbed her infant child and ran from her home thinking that That something significant like a bomb or a gas explosion had taken place You can't understate the risk to the community and the public when you're talking about igniting flammable gases with petrol Extremely reckless and very dangerous They would also use stolen 4x4s Ram them into shops and drag out the cash machines with huge lorry straps But one attack in Bledgingdon Didn't go according to plan Traffic officer responding to that alarm call and calls from members of the public Got sight of the vehicle that was in possession of the ATM pursued it He lost sight of it for a short period of time But then was able to locate the vehicle abandoned in a service road close to a caravan park And within that he found the ATM intact Crucially also in the vehicle was a balaclava Forensic work meant that that balaclava could be linked to the key offender in that organised crime group And that was really strong evidence for us Jimmy Sheen is a career criminal and we're talking about an individual that previously Served the prison sentence for discharging a firearm in a public place and injuring people He has absolutely no compunction in committing any sort of crime Hey, Siri, what does compunction mean? Absolutely a feeling of guilt moral scope Oh a feeling of guilt or moral scruple scruple that prevents or why wouldn't he just okay? I guess That's w vocabulary for this gentleman. No cat. It's quite intimidating and threatening to people that get in his way Sheen is not someone that you would want to cross Police intel began to link the ATM attacks to this one group and with the heat on they switched to another type of crime Stealing high value agricultural and plant vehicles Fundamentally a very expensive expensive one on my area a place called Cassington where they stole £400,000 worth of brand new tractors Quite an audacious theft where they drove all six of them out of the location in one night That's crazy though. I ain't never seen anything like that. This is the first time I've ever heard of a crime like this Only in the uk is they still in tractors With evidence of offenses piling up against them the police needed to disrupt the gang's activity So they recalled jimmy sheen to prison for owning a vehicle Which was a breach of his parole But that still left the other members of the group who were perfectly capable of continuing and committing serious Equisitive crime on their own and they chose to do so Intelligence led the police to a stolen black Mercedes at a caravan park near kidlington So on the 10th of june 2020 a drone team was sent in to investigate What they showed me was quite remarkable Not only had they located the vehicle But the activity around it over a period of sort of 10 minutes showed me Men in black beanie hats, balaclavas, heavy jackets and gloves They had captured what was quite clearly the group preparing to go out and commit another serious offense So for me then the pressure was on because we didn't know where they were going and we had no control of that vehicle At one at some point you got to be like, okay, we got enough You know I'm saying because the life of crime is going to the life of crime normally Gives extended because of greed You get what I'm saying, especially robbers and whatnot like they enough is never enough You get what I'm saying? So they just like continue and continue to and sometimes they just addicted to the rush of it. That's why they can't really stop so Greed is going to get you pop you doing these type of crimes. You've got to know you they're they're looking for you I didn't get another urgent phone call and I'm told that that vehicle has Been on the wrong side of the road on a blind bend has been involved in a very serious road traffic collision Key piece of evidence in the form of a mobile phone was thrown from the vehicle by the driver despite his injuries But thankfully a sharp-eyed firefighter spotted that and that became a real key piece of evidence One of the men in the criminal's car died Following on from the crash gang member Jimmy Loveridge was arrested and charged for death by dangerous driving and sent to prison The police launched operation jackknife to bring the rest of the organized crime group to justice Detectives conducted a search with our forensic teams of the Mercedes and what was recovered from them was pretty startling So in there we had uh balaclavas We had chains we had a large machete Clearly equipped and ready to commit a serious crime willing to use violence The fact that we knew this vehicle had been on this particular site and it was likely to be Some key evidence that we needed to recover as soon as possible So we were able then to obtain uh two search warrants on a caravan site near Killington They discovered 18,500 pounds in cash Homemade balaclavas and stolen vehicles But it was at the back of the site that yielded crucial evidence for I feel like these are like a part of the group the oddie boys. I know that wasn't Germany, but didn't it like branch off to the uk as well the police gas cylinders Along with that were things like disc cutters and other stolen tools Which we also knew were hallmarks of the earlier atm offending We recovered critical evidence in the form of a number of mobile phones Detective inspector Lorna Briggs led the team analyzing the phone data So we're looking at lots of different things in terms of the phones photos taken from them To try and identify who they belong to Contacts in there voice mails any messages that have been sent phone calls But also when the phone's off that can tell us quite a lot. Can we match that up to offending? When does it come back on again? Is that after the offending and that very much formed the focus of this investigation in relation to phone work So what we had to do is turn that intelligence into evidence The phone that was recovered from the crash belonged to Jimmy Loveridge On it was a video of him showcasing the six stolen tractors They're all identical same machines all 2020 brand new There's also suggestion on the videos that they're actually Stealing toward her man dying for one.
