    A beloved TV presenter was shot dead on a quiet London morning in 1999, sparking a massive police operation that examined random violence, professional retaliation, and personal motives—all of which fell short. Forensic limits left only a single hair and a .22‑calibre bullet, while unreliable eyewitnesses and media pressure focused the case on a suspect later acquitted. Decades later, new DNA techniques offer a slim chance of progress, highlighting systemic investigative flaws and the enduring quest for justice.
