Descripción

On 8 March 1970, 18-year-old Jackie Ansell-Lamb stood alone on the northbound M1 slip road in London, thumb out, hoping for a ride back to her tiny attic flat in Manchester.  Hours later she was found raped, beaten and strangled with electrical flex in isolated woodland just off the M6 near Mere, Cheshire. This is the full, gripping story of Jacqueline Susan Ansell-Lamb — her final weekend, every chilling sighting, the smartly dressed man at the Poplar café, the desperate police hunt, carpet fibres from Earl’s Court, and the DNA that still matches no one after more than 55 years. A vibrant 60s teenager who loved parties and music, Jackie’s life was cut short in one of Britain’s most haunting motorway cold cases. The killer — long suspected to be the Monster of the M1 — has never been caught. Rest in peace, Jackie. May justice one day come.  For the documentary version see here https://youtu.be/-wBm8H6scYY [https://youtu.be/-wBm8H6scYY] (00:00) The Haunting Case of Jackie Ansell-Lamb  (0:55) Who Was Jackie Ansell-Lamb ?
