Berkshire- The Murder of Stacey Queripel

This episode was first released on Patreon in January 2023. I look forward to returning with some new cases soon.  Just after 9 pm on the 14th of January 1993, 30 year old delivery driver and small time drug dealer David Watkins was shot and killed in a remote area on the outskirts of Reading. Despite a man being arrested and taken to trial, it would take 25 years before David's murderer would finally be brought to justice. 

Please enjoy this previously Patreon exclusive episode of Outlines. I'll hopefully be back properly soon.  On the evening of the 9th of July 1982, 27 year old artist Keith Church was killed during a street knifing attack on the High Road in Hoddesdon. Hertfordshire. Despite the public nature of the incident- it occurred just meters from a police station, no one has ever been charged with Keith's murder.

Despite evidence that the area around where she was found had been used for target practice, no one ever came forward to claim responsibility and to this day, no one knows whether it was accident or malicious intent, which saw Ruth's life cut short.

Despite anniversary appeals and continued media interest in Karen’s case, there have been few suspects and police have remained unable to answer the question: who would want to kill a woman with no known enemies?

This is a bonus episode, first released as a Patreon exclusive in January 2022. For those who were wondering where I've been- the short story is that I'm pregnant, (due in July if all goes well), panicked about being able to afford a baby and since the morning sickness eased I've been focusing on paid work. Sadly I've had to pause Patreon as of this month and am going to release the episodes which were once available there onto the main feed over the coming weeks. If you enjoy these episodes please consider donating via Paypal to [email protected]. You'll help pay to keep the podcast fully available online while I'm away and any extra will go towards easing my fear that I'm woefully underprepared for what is to come! On the 27th of August 1974 a gruesome discovery was made not far from the small Norfolk village of Cockley Cley. Hidden under a light brown plastic dust cover which bore the marking NCR, there lay the body of a woman. Her arms were tied behind her back, her legs bent at the knee, but worst of all, her head had been sawn off and was nowhere to be found. Despite the use of isotopic analysis to identify the kinds of environments the woman might have been exposed to during her life, as of 2022, her identity and even the cause of her death remain a mystery. iTunes itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-o…ast/id1325180386 Website www.theoutlinespodcast.com Instagram @theoutlinespodcast

On Wednesday 16th October, 1985, 63 year old Cyril Martin, a coma patient, died 7 weeks after being brutally attacked while he slept in an abandoned hut in Maidenhead, Berkshire. While news coverage of Cyril’s death revealed little in the way of clues as to whom might have killed him, a deeper look revealed a long forgotten tragedy. One which began almost 17 years before Cyril’s murder even took place.    SUPPORT VIA PAYPAL DONATION: [email protected] iTunes itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-o…ast/id1325180386 Website www.theoutlinespodcast.com Twitter @outlinespodcast Instagram @theoutlinespodcast
