On August 18th 1961, 15 year old Jacqueline Thomas went to a funfair with her sister in a suburb of Birmingham. She did not return and her body was found in some long grass a week later, she had been murdered. Her case would be extensively investigated however remained unsolved until progress was made in 2007. This would be a surprising and also disappointing turn of events and would link her case to another case that happened in 1967.
