CASE SUMMARY
In 1994 two women in the UK town of Grantham were tragically strangled to death. With the murders taking place just a few months apart in place with a very low rate of serious crime, people began to wonder if the killings were committed by the same offender.
Approaching 30 years later, nobody has been charged with either murder and the original lead detectives from both investigations still maintain opposing views as to whether the crimes are linked or not.
A huge thanks to Roger Billingsley and Stuart Clifton (lead investigators on both cases) for their time in contributing to this video, in addition to Sara Fowler for providing her insights. Thanks also to Tom at MercuryPerpMedia for helping with the excellent drone footage seen in this video.
