About this deal

Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wonderfully varied world that is Mystery, Crime and Thrillers. With the clock ticking and Superintendent Uckfield pressing for results, Horton is forced to make a decision that will put his life on the line.

Lace, who’d had convictions for robbery, had been stricken with guilt and actually confessed to police in 1983 that he had forced his way into Teresa’s car where he assaulted and strangled her with the seatbelt.

A few hundred yards from 40-year-old Jacqueline’s house was a small office block, Astra House and staff arriving for work at 8.

Another neighbour said: ‘It looks serious, there's been police there 24/7, police cars, tape put up. Seven of the eight unsolved murders featured here were disclosed and published by Hampshire Police in 2018 following a Freedom Of Information Request. Fuller grew up in a terraced house in Angerstein Road, just a mile away from the murder scene in Lake Road.

Four years after that, Tobin was convicted of sexually assaulting two teenage girls at his flat in Havant, less than eight miles from Portsmouth. This seems to have satiated him in some way and as upsetting as it is for families of his victims, it probably stopped him murdering again. Since then, Ripperologists have connected the Portsmouth letter with the Searle murder, citing the superficial similarities with the Whitechapel murders. It crept up your flesh, quickened your breath, and sent your pulse racing to cope with the first shock of meeting it.

Portsmouth has a connection with another killer: Peter Tobin, a Scottish man convicted of slaying three women and widely suspected of having an even higher body count to his name. Grimson was considered as a suspect (although there are others) as he was friendly with the building manager. It was alleged he couldn’t have seen the assault from the vantage point he’d claimed, while a newspaper report stated that he’d 'developed a very brutal temperament of late, and had frequently been reproved for his cruelty to animals'. Police described the letter as a "smokescreen" and said information about his disappearance suggested he was murdered.

In Portsmouth, Katherine Kelly looks at the disturbing enigma of Allan Grimson, a seemingly fine and upstanding Royal Navy officer who had a secret sadistic side which led him to commit barbaric acts on those closest to him. Police are also speculating that there are other unknown victims and believe that as Grimson killed people on the twelfth of December each year, that there could be a range between 11 [15] and 20 unidentified victims at Grimson's hands. In 1998, Grimson was working at the Royal New Zealand Navy base of Devonport on an exchange programme of fire fighting training.

If he is a decent human being and has an ounce of compassion left in his body [Grimson] will do the right thing – but unfortunately I don’t think he’s that type of character". Another child’s mother told police she remembered seeing a man in a brown hatchback car parked opposite the school. COPS are linking Morgue Monster David Fuller with another horrific case known as the Cinderella Murder.
