40. The Story of Linda Cook

On December 9, 1986 a 24-year-old woman was brutally raped, beaten and strangled while walking home from a friend’s house in Portsmouth, in Hampshire, in the South of England. An 18-year-old navy sailor was convicted of her murder but 16 years later DNA would exonerate him of the crime, marking the first time in UK history that occurred. But sadly, her real murderer has still not been identified. This is the story of Linda Cook.
