30 year old Carol Park went missing in July of 1976. Twenty one years later, on 13th August 1997, her body was discovered in Coniston Water in the Lake District. At the time she went missing, her husband Gordon was told by police investigating her disappearance, that, were she to be found murdered, he would be the prime suspect.
Gordon Park was arrested and charged with Carol's murder after her body was discovered, but a few months later, the charges against him were dropped.
However, in 2004, Gordon Park was re-arrested, and in early 2005, he stood trial for his wife's murder. He was found guilty, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Gordon Park committed suicide in prison in early 2010, on his 66th birthday. He never confessed to the crime.
Both Sandra Lean (Chapter 4 "No Smoke") and Bob Woffinden (Chapter 6, "The Nicholas Cases") believed Gordon Park to be a victim of a MOJ.
It has recently been announced that the case is to go back to the Court of Appeal, in the hope that Gordon's conviction will be posthumously quashed.
This was a case that was very well publicised in the media, and nicknamed "The Lady in the Lake" murder.
So, what do people think? Was he innocent?
