Send us a text This case is in living memory. Going back to 1974. Egon Von Bulow's parents came from South America, had him while in the UK, then left him when they went back home. Not an ideal start for him. He grew up anti authoritarian. He shot three policemen and committed other crimes after seemingly losing control during July 1974. He could be living near you today.

Send us a text A story that rambles on about the murder of Worthing based amateur archaeologist John Pull on 10 November 1960. He was shot in a bank being raided by teenagers. There is an interesting contrast between John Pull who contributed so much during his life, compared to the nihilistic life style of those responsible for his death. His wannabe gangster killer actually claimed to be a reincarnation of the long dead American gangster Legs Diamond.
