Nick Ross and Sue Cook present. Cases include the murder of Inga Hauser in northern Ireland, robberies in Stoke on Trent and the murder of Joan Macan in Hertfordshire.
For those interested, The BBC have released a documentary about the Inga Hauser case as part of their "Murder in the Badlands" series, looking at 4 unsolved murders in Norfhern Ireland, across 4 different decades. It's currently available on BBC iplayer.
I always thought these original reconstructions were so creepy (and well done). All these "don't have nightmares" episodes were the best. Not that unmentionable mess with Jeremy Vine (what were they thinking?). I remember the late 90s ones when I was a kid being good too.. it really only fell apart a few years back. I used to record them from about 2004 onwards, but didn't think to keep an archive, so thank goodness for diligent people like you!
Yes, they couldn't have chose a worse person than Jeremy Vine to present Crimewatch. He's fine on such programmes such as eggheads etc, but looked awkward on Crimewatch. I think from about 2006 onwards, Crimewatch wasn't really the same anymore, and even a few years before that it was nothing like the Crimewatch of old from the 1980s to the mid 1990s.
They made it too gimmicky. Getting rid of Nick was a huge error, him & Kirsty Young would have made a good team. They made it too young & hip-bringing in so many mainstream/young/pretty faces who had no real interest in the show & were sports presenters or current affairs presenters. That final revamp from outside locations was just horrendous & the woman they chose was hopeless. I am amazed that ITV, C4, or C5 haven't picked up the show.
It wouldn't feel the same on any of those channels though..and imagine having to sit through all those ads. Love unsolved mysteries too, and was lucky enough to download many of the episodes that was put on CZcams a few weeks back. Still, I have to say even though it's a close call between Crimewatch and Unsolved Mysteries, I would favour Crimewatch UK.
@@spike197047 That disaster with Jeremy turned it into Watchdog or something. I think it was still alright into the 2000s... think it started to lose its way around the time they got rid of Rav Wilding on CCTV. I don't understand why Crimewatch File isn't still used (especially considering interest in true crime in media and podcasts now). BBC seems to be missing a trick.
The Inga Hauser case is still incredibly controversial to this day. It was reported in the Irish Times that "the IRA carried out its own investigation into the killing 30 years ago. It is believed republican paramilitaries had considered passing information about the alleged murderer to the RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary) at the height of the Troubles, but did not follow through." As with the Loyalist paramilitaries, there were also a number of sex offending crimes linked to the IRA during that period.
@@margaretbanks8969the motive seems to have been sexual and as I remember, the suspects may have been responsible for other similar crimes. It basically seems that a violent sex offender happened to also be a member of the IRA. What appears to have happened is that he was some kind of lorry driver and happened to be on the same ferry as her. He offered her a lift and then murdered her.
As a young child i would religiously watch this series every Thursday, then go to bed totally spooked and toss and turn in fear that our house was going to be burgled in the night. Nick Ross' closing line never made any impact on me!
Was it really!!? There's a testament to the human (child's) memory. It must have given me a month's worth of scares in that case! 😂@@snookerworldchampionship2023
Wow I grew up sailing on the Galloway Princess (by then it operated Belfast to Stranraer) and was renamed Stena Galloway. Also sailed on her sister ship the Stena Caledonia many times. Didn't realise the Galloway had such sinister links... The ship still operates in Greece today. And RIP to Inga Maria - a terrible, tragic story.
Happy Friday Crimewatcher’s! Thank you redcard74. I haven’t watched it yet but interested to see the robberies in Stoke-on-Trent as that’s my area. 🕵🏻♀️
Northern Ireland is a funny place. So many murders remain unsolved. Parts of northern Ireland (the rural parts especially) are best described as being akin to something from deliverance / the wickerman. *Very close knit.* They cover for one another or turn a blind eye. The man and woman thing + hitchhiker story sounds like a red herring. Her rucksack not being visible to other passengers who observed her walking through the lounge or in deck suggests she had likely already fallen into the clutches of her killer They'd probably holed it away in their boot offering her lift somewhere - Inga not realising untill it was too late . Likelier she was, kept somewhere by those behind the crimes. The fact no one in either Northern Ireland or the republic encountered her (a sociable and good natured Person who took delight in getting to know others and chatting) suggests she was abducted on the ferry and holed away in the boot or somewhere on the ferry As someone who lived in NI for a few years in the mid 2000s. I always advise people visiting to be on their guard. Most people are normal there but it's important to remember their recent history and the mentality that created within a quotient of them The most charming and "helpful" there were often the most dangerous God bless you Inga
@@lyviejames9857 This was one of about three full Crimewatch reconstructions in the entire history of the programme that was based on a crime in Northern Ireland. That might say something about the rate of non-terrorist homicides in that country even back then. An ill-informed and contemptible comment to make about Northern Irish society.
I knew DCI Tony Brindley. We won a golf comp in 2002. Happy days. He's a nice chap and not arrogant like some police officers are. Hard to believe this episode of Crimewatch was nearly 33 years ago. It really did help to catch criminals.

They suspect Inga was murdered on the ferry. Her body placed somewhere refrigerated to slow down decomposition to skew the forensics of the time. Her remains removed from refrigeration and dumped in the forest shorty before discovery. The sightings of a hitchhiker were false. Apparently. She never left the ferry alive. She was murdered on the ferry sometime before passengers were due to disembark after fending off a vicious attempted sexual attack from a stranger. They should look into refrigerated freights or lorrys with Cold storage compartments / passengers with access to commercial cold storage or ferry worker who could've concealed her remains on the vessel. A nightmare for her family. Her killer remains at large. They've never faced justice. Her parents have both since passed away. Beware of an outwardly friendly and smiling Irish man offering lifts....
Rip Inga. What an amazing woman. And she knew what us clever people know that dogs are angels and we don’t deserve them. Rest sweet lady. Be safe and sleep sound. Xxxxx
Especially after helping all those allied airmen back from France during the war risking her life tremendously. I think we seriously owe it to her to find who did it.
She really should have moved somewhere more civilised, surrounded by other people and a decent size for a woman of her age. Anyone wanting to burgle her knew she was alone. Total pushover.

There was a 1994 arrest or the Joan Macan murder, but nothing about a conviction-so assume either they couldn't make the case stick, or he was found not guilty at trial & that it is still unsolved.
Hi: an article on the Joan Macan case arrest appeared in "The Herald" (a Scottish newspaper) on 28th July 1994, but, as you say, there's no allusion to a conviction. It read as follows: "MAN IN COURT ON MURDER CHARGE. A man appeared before Hemel Hempstead magistrates accused of murdering war heroine Joan Macan six years ago. Mr John Parker, 47, of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, was remanded in custody for a week. Mrs Macan, a widow, was found battered to death on the garden path at her cottage in Ashridge, near Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, on her 81st birthday in May 1988. She was a former French resistance worker who received citations for rescuing Allied airmen. She was also a dog breeder and Crufts judge." Puzzlingly, this next newspaper extract I found on the 'net appeared in "The Times" during 1988 and includes a familiar surname. The on-line edition didn't give the exact date, but going by the sports results that appeared, I calculate it to have been published on Monday 12th December. "Mary Anne Parker, aged 21, of no fixed address, was remanded in custody until Friday when she appeared before Hemel Hempstead magistrates on Saturday, charged with the murder of Mrs Joan Macon, a dog breeder. Mrs Macan died on her eighty-first birthday on May 6 at her secluded country cottage at Ashridge Park, near Tring in Hertford¬ shire. She had been hit on the head with a sharp weapon." Incidentally, I found the following two entries on forum threads dedicated to Labradors: "The dog I’m looking at here is Willowyck Lyn. Lyn was sired by Searchins Beaver, who was sired by Styleside Searchin who was sired by a show dog, Secret Song of Lawnwood. Incidentally, Secret Song was sired by Timspring Sirius. Sirius was bred by the late Joan Macan who at the age of 81 was murdered in her garden! Her body was discovered the following day. To my knowledge no one was ever brought to justice for this terrible crime!" "There used to be a lady who bred Labradors called Joan Macan. She was subsequently murdered under strange very circumstances, but that's another story."
Like Georgina Davis in 1986. They announced they had arrested a woman for her murder on the following programme, but the murder is still unsolved according to the Net, so they must have had to release her. Not enough evidence or the wrong person.
@@piotrgadowski3506 they decided there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute them. The case is an interesting one. Apparently during the troubles, various paramilitary groups such as the IRA conducted secret investigations into who killed her, and believed they had identified the murderers.

@@zeddeka Do you reckon the IRA murdered the killers, that's why no one has ever been charged. I know during the troubles, the IRA also acted as a vigilante group and would murder or torture people who had murdered, raped or sold drugs.
Remember seeing Inga Hauser 20th anniversary reappeal on CW in 2008. A lorry driver gave her a lift from the ferry and killed her shortly after arriving. No evidence was found of her being alive in Northern Ireland. Remains unsolved to my knowledge.
2018 reappeal led to two arrests in May, both suspects were released under investigation. www.psni.police.uk/news/Latest-News/01052018-murder-of-inga-maria-hauser--update/
A very different world back then-people would just travel with limited money & no way to get more easily & pretty much just drifted around with no rhyme or reason & thought nothing of hitchhiking despite the dangers. Apparently the IRA even conducted an investigation on this case. You can see how she would have fallen prey to a killer-getting lifts off random people, likely not having enough money to stay anywhere or even buy food if her diaries are accurate-did she turn to begging or even prostitution? Nowadays her family & friends could have sent her money via PayPal or whatever instantly, back then she would have had to wait for snail mail from Germany to cash a cheque or postal order which would have taken at least a week & possibly 2-3 weeks to arrive-if she had an address to send it to, which it seems she didn't.
Nobody has been prosecuted for her murder. There was suspicion about two people but there wasn't enough evidence. The case is an interesting one. The IRA and other paramilitary groups conducted secret investigations themselves in the 80s and believed they had identified the murderer
@@zeddeka I wouldn’t trust anything paramilitaries came up with. I’ve never seen any suggestion of paramilitary involvement so I don’t know what their interest in it would be.
@@SKisatourist2010 where's your evidence that a lorry driver done it? Put up or shut up. The villages close to where the body was found are extremely close knit and local paramilitaries would discourage people from going to the police. You're badly out of your depth here.
I’m in two minds about the efficacy of Crimewatch. It seems to fail miserably at its intended purpose of helping police to solve crimes. I haven’t been counting, but 1988 seems to have been a terrible year for unsolved murders. Both murders in this episode were not solved, at least in 2022 when I’m writing this. As a tool for 1980s historians to call out the police on their hopeless incompetence and gross corruption, however, it’s perfect. In the case of Lynette White, featured a couple of episodes ago, the CW reconstruction clearly showed a white male with a bleeding hand outside the flat where she was murdered. So the police arrest and force confessions from 5 black guys. Three of whom are found guilty and do time in jail before the whole case was declared unsafe. They eventually found the real culprit, who was given a lesser minimum sentence than the original three who didn’t do it. Go figure. So yes, Crimewatch. Compelling viewing, and helpful for recovering Lady Muck’s stolen teapots, but how useful for genuine crime is debatable. There’s no doubt though, the person posting these onto YT is doing a great service to society.
They occasionally used to give figures of how many crimes were solved over the years, and it was quite high. There can't be anything wrong with asking the public for help, which is what the whole programme was about - the crimes featured were the most difficult to solve, hence most from the 80s and 90s are still unsolved. Karen Price's murder might not have been solved if they had not shown a reconstruction of her face on Crimewatch. Even if one rapist or murder is caught it is worth it - it wasn't about audience figures or popularity.
I do have to say it does educate ppl as to why it's important to report crime, & you only need one piece of the puzzle.(27.07 & get paid for it) Your Lady Muck remark is bang on!!😂😂😂
It did help solve some crimes, unquestionably. But criminal investigations were severely limited back then because the technology was pretty primitive. You're right though - it is fantastic social history. Amongst other things, it illustrates the huge crime explosion that happened in the 1980s. A very violent period in Britain's history.
This is a long shot, but does anyone remember a case from I believe the 1980s featuring a gay man who was killed with the reconstruction featuring him walking home from the bar. The script used the phrasing along the lines of "he led an alternative lifestyle' as they used to do then for someone who was gay. It's stuck with me since childhood and I'd like to find the clip.
Seem to be a lot of famous lookalikes, in the previous episode Richard Thompson & Mick Fleetwood both made appearances via a photo-fit & security camera footage.
Bloody hell I remember that murder of the Dog breeder on the ITV News at the time. Why kill her just escape. No normal burglar would do that he must have been insane.
@@noongourfain If you wear a mask your far less likely to be recognised, killing someone because you're too lazy to be bothered to plan ahead and take one is ridiculous, you would expect anyone known to be more prepared, especially with advice available from those already imprisoned at your disposal whilst your inside, maybe it was someone she was really familiar with, a reason besides robbery or a reasonably young person that panicked, there again she might have recognised the vehicle. She did leave a million pounds £25,000 each to her house keeper and her son, which was very generous and a lot then and £200,000 to charities.
Where and why was INGA travelling and roaming sooo much. It’s like she knew what was to come, hence why she was dairying content in her dairy. Poor girl, if only she would have kept still n got to know here surroundings, damn I guess she’ll never know what could have become her.. r.i.p INGA
@@amycorbett4664 You won't arrive at the facts of the case with moral condemnation. It's just what the killer expects and why he/she would remain in hiding. You never hear professional interrogators telling suspects they are terrible people do you? It's counter productive. If you want a confession you have to make it seem like the right thing to do. And of course it is the right thing to do. Doing the right thing, even if...and especially because you have done the wrong thing, is to be commended. If you have an iota of guilt for the crime you have committed then you would want to unburden yourself, gain just a little bit of humanity back, as the consequences are great, and save your soul.
Young lady a bit niave a bit to trusting , R.i.p people will ruin there own life and kill someone just for having sex why don't they get a girlfriend or go see a working girl or use your hand unbelievable what a waste of life for a few min of pleasure for him and not fòr her or her family I'm gonna pray for you

Hi: an article on the Joan Macan case arrest appeared in "The Herald" (a Scottish newspaper) on 28th July 1994, but, as you say, there's no allusion to a conviction. It read as follows:
"MAN IN COURT ON MURDER CHARGE.
A man appeared before Hemel Hempstead magistrates accused of murdering war heroine Joan Macan six years ago.
Mr John Parker, 47, of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, was remanded in custody for a week. Mrs Macan, a widow, was found battered to death on the garden path at her cottage in Ashridge, near Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, on her 81st birthday in May 1988.
She was a former French resistance worker who received citations for rescuing Allied airmen. She was also a dog breeder and Crufts judge."
Puzzlingly, this next newspaper extract I found on the 'net appeared in "The Times" during 1988 and includes a familiar surname. The on-line edition didn't give the exact date, but going by the sports results that appeared, I calculate it to have been published on Monday 12th December.
"Mary Anne Parker, aged 21, of no fixed address, was
remanded in custody until Friday when she appeared before
Hemel Hempstead magistrates on Saturday, charged with
the murder of Mrs Joan Macon, a dog breeder. Mrs Macan
died on her eighty-first birthday on May 6 at her secluded
country cottage at Ashridge Park, near Tring in Hertford¬
shire. She had been hit on the head with a sharp weapon."
Incidentally, I found the following two entries on forum threads dedicated to Labradors:
"The dog I’m looking at here is Willowyck Lyn. Lyn was sired by Searchins Beaver, who was sired by Styleside Searchin who was sired by a show dog, Secret Song of Lawnwood. Incidentally, Secret Song was sired by Timspring Sirius. Sirius was bred by the late Joan Macan who at the age of 81 was murdered in her garden! Her body was discovered the following day. To my knowledge no one was ever brought to justice for this terrible crime!"
"There used to be a lady who bred Labradors called Joan Macan. She was subsequently murdered under strange very circumstances, but that's another story."
In the January 89 episode it says a woman has been charged with her murder . Can’t find any reference to that so assume it never got to trial
Like Georgina Davis in 1986. They announced they had arrested a woman for her murder on the following programme, but the murder is still unsolved according to the Net, so they must have had to release her. Not enough evidence or the wrong person.
in may of 2018 2 men where arrested in connection with inga's murder
But there's no information about what happened next.
@@piotrgadowski3506 they decided there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute them. The case is an interesting one. Apparently during the troubles, various paramilitary groups such as the IRA conducted secret investigations into who killed her, and believed they had identified the murderers.

@@zeddeka Do you reckon the IRA murdered the killers, that's why no one has ever been charged.
I know during the troubles, the IRA also acted as a vigilante group and would murder or torture people who had murdered, raped or sold drugs.
I love Sue Cook she's so elegant 😍
Absolutely!
According to Google/BBC PSNI seem confident of solving Inga Hauser's killer/s
TB89 just looked and they weren’t charged in the end
Remember seeing Inga Hauser 20th anniversary reappeal on CW in 2008. A lorry driver gave her a lift from the ferry and killed her shortly after arriving. No evidence was found of her being alive in Northern Ireland. Remains unsolved to my knowledge.
2018 reappeal led to two arrests in May, both suspects were released under investigation. www.psni.police.uk/news/Latest-News/01052018-murder-of-inga-maria-hauser--update/
A very different world back then-people would just travel with limited money & no way to get more easily & pretty much just drifted around with no rhyme or reason & thought nothing of hitchhiking despite the dangers. Apparently the IRA even conducted an investigation on this case. You can see how she would have fallen prey to a killer-getting lifts off random people, likely not having enough money to stay anywhere or even buy food if her diaries are accurate-did she turn to begging or even prostitution? Nowadays her family & friends could have sent her money via PayPal or whatever instantly, back then she would have had to wait for snail mail from Germany to cash a cheque or postal order which would have taken at least a week & possibly 2-3 weeks to arrive-if she had an address to send it to, which it seems she didn't.
Nobody has been prosecuted for her murder. There was suspicion about two people but there wasn't enough evidence. The case is an interesting one. The IRA and other paramilitary groups conducted secret investigations themselves in the 80s and believed they had identified the murderer
@@zeddeka I wouldn’t trust anything paramilitaries came up with. I’ve never seen any suggestion of paramilitary involvement so I don’t know what their interest in it would be.
@@SKisatourist2010 where's your evidence that a lorry driver done it? Put up or shut up. The villages close to where the body was found are extremely close knit and local paramilitaries would discourage people from going to the police. You're badly out of your depth here.
I’m in two minds about the efficacy of Crimewatch. It seems to fail miserably at its intended purpose of helping police to solve crimes. I haven’t been counting, but 1988 seems to have been a terrible year for unsolved murders. Both murders in this episode were not solved, at least in 2022 when I’m writing this. As a tool for 1980s historians to call out the police on their hopeless incompetence and gross corruption, however, it’s perfect. In the case of Lynette White, featured a couple of episodes ago, the CW reconstruction clearly showed a white male with a bleeding hand outside the flat where she was murdered. So the police arrest and force confessions from 5 black guys. Three of whom are found guilty and do time in jail before the whole case was declared unsafe. They eventually found the real culprit, who was given a lesser minimum sentence than the original three who didn’t do it. Go figure. So yes, Crimewatch. Compelling viewing, and helpful for recovering Lady Muck’s stolen teapots, but how useful for genuine crime is debatable. There’s no doubt though, the person posting these onto YT is doing a great service to society.
They occasionally used to give figures of how many crimes were solved over the years, and it was quite high. There can't be anything wrong with asking the public for help, which is what the whole programme was about - the crimes featured were the most difficult to solve, hence most from the 80s and 90s are still unsolved. Karen Price's murder might not have been solved if they had not shown a reconstruction of her face on Crimewatch. Even if one rapist or murder is caught it is worth it - it wasn't about audience figures or popularity.
It was worth a try mate, what else could they do?
I do have to say it does educate ppl as to why it's important to report crime,
& you only need one piece of the puzzle.(27.07 & get paid for it)
Your Lady Muck remark is bang on!!😂😂😂
It did help solve some crimes, unquestionably. But criminal investigations were severely limited back then because the technology was pretty primitive. You're right though - it is fantastic social history. Amongst other things, it illustrates the huge crime explosion that happened in the 1980s. A very violent period in Britain's history.
Poor Inga an her family still after all these years killers haven't been caught family must be going through hell to this day😢 R.I.P Inga
Huh. The John Doe was simply named Alan Smith. Strange theees no more info. Just like Vincent Smith, a John Doe found on the shore of lock lohman.
That one is bizzare

Was Inga’s killer ever brought to justice?
Not as far as I'm aware
No but there is a prime suspect in the case as per the Badlands documentary

This is a long shot, but does anyone remember a case from I believe the 1980s featuring a gay man who was killed with the reconstruction featuring him walking home from the bar. The script used the phrasing along the lines of "he led an alternative lifestyle' as they used to do then for someone who was gay. It's stuck with me since childhood and I'd like to find the clip.
That sounds like a famous case of a German gay who was killed by an Irishman when he tried to screw him. It was featured on several episodes.
@@RS-of8od oh yes please! Would really appreciate that 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was pregnant with my daughter when this was on, she was born September 3rd that year

Bloody hell I remember that murder of the Dog breeder on the ITV News at the time. Why kill her just escape. No normal burglar would do that he must have been insane.
Burglars kill because they are previously known and the victim can Identify them or they are insane.
@@noongourfain If you wear a mask your far less likely to be recognised, killing someone because you're too lazy to be bothered to plan ahead and take one is ridiculous, you would expect anyone known to be more prepared, especially with advice available from those already imprisoned at your disposal whilst your inside, maybe it was someone she was really familiar with, a reason besides robbery or a reasonably young person that panicked, there again she might have recognised the vehicle. She did leave a million pounds £25,000 each to her house keeper and her son, which was very generous and a lot then and £200,000 to charities.
There was a double glazing salesmen that stabbed two female dog breeders to death in Norfolk in 1998 for no apparent reason.

Amassed a small fortune. One an a quarter million pound isn't a small fortune nick. How much was you on in the day.
It certainly was a small fortune in those days. You forget - this is over 30 years ago. You could buy houses for less than £20,000.
My grandad bought his first house for 4 grand so yeah money was worth a lot more than what it is today
Weird thing to comment on. It was a small fortune in the 80s

We already had freedom of movement, but not as bad.
If you hurt Inga-Maria Hauser now is the time to confess, you will feel better and regain the respect of humanity. RiP Inga.
Someone who murders a young woman doesn’t deserve respect.
@@amycorbett4664 It would be much better for them to confess than not confess. Her family needs to know why and where etc.
@@amycorbett4664 You won't arrive at the facts of the case with moral condemnation.
It's just what the killer expects and why he/she would remain in hiding.
You never hear professional interrogators telling suspects they are terrible people do you? It's counter productive.
If you want a confession you have to make it seem like the right thing to do.
And of course it is the right thing to do. Doing the right thing, even if...and especially because you have done the wrong thing, is to be commended.
If you have an iota of guilt for the crime you have committed then you would want to unburden yourself, gain just a little bit of humanity back, as the consequences are great, and save your soul.
Young lady a bit niave a bit to trusting ,
R.i.p people will ruin there own life and kill someone just for having sex why don't they get a girlfriend or go see a working girl or use your hand unbelievable what a waste of life for a few min of pleasure for him and not fòr her or her family I'm gonna pray for you

What is a fruit machine? Never heard of such a thing here in America.
@@robertb9902 Oh ok thanks! because there are pictures of cherries! Lol that's pretty funny. Americans are literal. If it's a fruit machine it should make fruit or at least sell it. Pictures just won't do.
In Australia they are called 'pokies ' presumably because the gambler becomes automatous and just keeps poking the buttons .
The older type machines were called ' one armed bandits ' in the UK back in the 60's and 70's . This was due to the fact it had a handle on the right hand side that was pulled every time you put a coin in .
Why didn't you just Google it? You could have found it out in less time than it took you to type that out.
No one cares about what it means or doesn’t mean in america.
