Businesswoman Debbie Buxton was just 35 years old when she was bludgeoned and stabbed to death while out walking her dogs in a rural Derbyshire beauty spot. Her murder, in April 1993, at the hands of a jobless, woman-hating local man called David Bond shocked the nation. When it emerged that Bond had been paroled from prison just weeks before the murder, serious questions were raised. Now, two and a half decades later, the killer has completed his minimum sentence but many remain adamant that he must remain behind bars. Read “Crimes That Made The Headlines – No Parole For Derbyshire’s Riverside Killer,” in this issue, for the full story.

“Questions & Answers – Ireland’s Shocking Tale Of The Murderous ‘Border Fox’” looks back at another chilling 1990s case, this time from County Clare. A young mother, her three-year-old son and a priest would die at the hands of Brendan O’Donnell. But was his killing spree the result of undiagnosed mental health problems?

For decades the identity of San Francisco Bay’s “Gypsy Hill Killer” remained a mystery.

See “America’s Most Evil – The Man Who Was ‘The Gypsy Hill Killer’...And The Woman Who Wasn’t” for the full story.
