There was a well-publicised case in London in 1985 when a mother claimed that her daughter and another child had been abducted in a park.

This is the best link I can find, which doesn't say much about the others.

Another fake abduction in 1984.

I didn't know until now (see the link) that Louise's father was later jailed for killing his brother.

Some good fake kidnappings on this link:

... my personal fave is the chap who got his mates to stage a kidnap so he could go out on the lash with them.

Reminds me of a time when I told ex Mrs Andrew I was having a weekend away with the lads many moons ago. Spent a week in Crete instead with the lads but couldn't bring myself to tell her that I was going.

And another time, I was actually away in Zante with ex Mrs Andrew. She was unwell so had an early night. I waited for her to fall asleep and pushed the moped down the road, roared it up and went into town for a few. Lost my moped, slept on the beach, walked 6 miles back at lunchtime the next day. Hotel staff and the Greek police were all there on my return with a very worried but now angry ex Mrs Andrew.

I suppose there's a reason why she's an ex.

Ooh Andrew      You are awful - but I like you

I was reading about this last week on my hols and just found the article again.

Well I suppose it's more believable than a certain other 'abduction'.

Here's her website.

Don't all rush.

She seems to have omitted her UFO experiences from her website.

I suppose calling an Alien 'Mum' would perhaps dilute her credibility somewhat.

All mumbo-jumbo anyway. (IMO)

A few articles about this, this morning.

Ripper is told his cushy life is over: After 32 years in Broadmoor, Sutcliffe is going to a proper jail after officially being declared sane
Peter Sutcliffe has been declared 'sane' and will leave Broadmoor
He will be moved to a top-security prison within weeks after hearing
Mental Health Tribunal's decision will save taxpayer £250,000 per year
The 70-year-old will live out his days among inmates aware of his crimes

He will be a dead man walking and a target for sure.

I had doubts even at the time he was sentenced that he was really mentally ill to such a degree that it caused his actions.

Just plain evil and entirely responsible for what he did in my opinion, like the West couple and Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

Freedom , I think he thinks its a way to become free one day,and who can tell eh ?justice just seems to depend on who wants it? I do not feel he should ever return to the world outside. joyce1938

Hi Joyce. He's been given a whole-life tariff anyway. So in other words he'll never get released apart from in a bodybag.

And rightly so, IMO.

I agree with that Andrew,after so much horror he committed.joyce1938

The case of a newlywed who was murdered in her own home.

Two sisters (one of whom was having an affair with the victim's husband) were convicted but later acquitted.

I must admit to thinking that they were most likely guilty.

Never heard of this particular case. Shall read up on it this eve at some point.

This is a shocking one when you read up on some of the details that have since been released after they were charged. Truly horrendous.

A 'harsh' sentence for a change for this one taken from Sky News website...

http://news.sky.com/story/texas-to-execute-jeffrey-wood-even-though-he-didnt-kill-anyone-10541505

That link is a bit moralising and judgemental.

This one is better; I do have to admit that the forensic evidence was very thin in the case against the sisters.

She even faked her own kidnap 20 odd years ago...

There is now a separate topic on this case.

This sounds dreadful - the Texas case.

Memories of the Derek Bentley case in the early 1950s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Bentley_case

Yeah remember watching a film based on that ages ago with a young Doctor Who in it..

ETA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_Him_Have_It

Yes I saw that too. I wonder what relation Peter and Rebecca Eccleston - who played children - are to him.

I knew all about the case beforehand - not that I remember it when it happened, I hasten to add. It was very controversial but that was the law at the time.

Brother and Sister. Nephew and Niece to Dr Who.
