The Unsolved Murder of Sandra Court in Christchurch, Dorset, 3 May 1986 - Research Request
Hope this is allowed - I'm a journalist and have been tasked with researching an unsolved murder of Sandra Court in Christchurch, Dorset in 1986 for the production of a documentary that is in research/pre-production. I can't comment exactly what, but it is intended for release on a known streaming service.
Without going into detail or revealing sources, I've established a number of witnesses, both police and members of the public, some of whom I've been able to trace and have had contact from. This has included access to historical newspaper reports and access to television archives, however, I feel I've gone as far as I can with research with this.
You can imagine that the vast majority of outstanding information is from Dorset Police and having contacted them, I've rightly been told that although the murder occurred 40 years ago, because it is technically an ongoing investigation (if lines of enquiry are discovered), they cannot share anything with me.
This post is therefore to reach out to anyone who may remember the case (either police or public) who was involved with the investigation or knew of Sandra Court. It's not my only line of enquiry to discover leads, but I was recommended this forum and after working out how to setup a Reddit account, I've posted on here.
I understand that people may not want to comment or message, so I have created an anonymous form for information to be left that can be found here: https://forms.gle/fZHaQnLjAEtFdw1L8
