THE IMPORTANCE OF COMING FORWARD WITH INFORMATION (Final Part)

(Following on from previous posts:- 20/6/24, 24/6/24, 27/6/ 24)

(Apologies for the lateness of this post - it was due to broadband issues)

I reached my front door, at the same time as a woman was passing by and, seeing that I was injured, she stopped to ask what had happened. As I was relating the circumstances to her, another passer-by, a young woman, appeared and also stopped. It turned out that she had seen a black BMW cruising very slowly along a side street nearby, as she had exited her home, a short while ago. It attracted her attention because she'd never seen that car in the neighbourhood before and, the fact it was going so slowly, aroused her suspicions. She noticed there were three males inside. The car finally disappeared from her view, but a short while later, she heard tyres screeching and saw the same car driving at high speed up the road ahead of her. Having memorised the number plate when the car first passed by, she immediately rang police. Unknown to us at that time, another person, a young guy, had done the same. He'd seen the car emerge from the top of the street, at great speed. It didn't even stop at the crossroads, but he had been close enough to get the number plate. Acting on his suspicions, he too had then called police.

Upon hearing this news, the woman who had stopped to help, rang the police and told them what had happened to me nearby, with the attack fitting the same timeline. Police immediately ran a check on the car plate and found that the vehicle belonged to a male with an Amsterdam address. They despatched cars to that address, but there was no-one home, so they waited. Eventually, a black BMW, matching the number plate. drew up outside the address, with three males inside. One, a 29yr old guy, the owner of the vehicle and two other 17yr old males. All were apprehended and later charged with the crime. A number of stolen items were discovered inside the car - some belonging to me. I later heard that this group had done the same thing to a 90yr old woman the day before. She broke her leg badly in the fall and also suffered other injuries as a result of the attack, so had been hospitalised.

My bag and, most of the stuff in it, were never recovered. However, that which was most precious, - the watch Mum had given to me, thankfully I did get back. Following their trial, the owner of the car, received a 3year jail sentence, with the two 17yr olds, serving time in a Young Offenders Institution.

Now, I'm not unique. I'm sure similar things unfortunately, perhaps some worse, perhaps some not as bad, may have happened to some of you reading this, or perhaps to others you know? Sadly, such is the world we live in. Often, we can't stop this, but we can act responsibly to try to ensure these perpetrators will be caught and punished for what they do to innocent people. The two caring individuals who called police to alert them of their suspicions, not only were responsible for the return of my watch, but they achieved justice for me. Let people off, allow them to go unpunished and it only emboldens them.

As we've said before, there are a couple of reasons we can understand, as to why people won't come forward with information:- a) out of fear, or b) because of very strong feelings they may have for that individual. It takes moral courage and a strong sense of justice to over-ride fear and feelings for a killer. Other reasons too may be apathy? People just don't want to get involved. (Speaking for myself, the reason I eventually decided not to contact the police re that sighting at the beach, was purely because I didn't think I had enough concrete info to give them. I may have been mistaken. Although I thought the guy was acting suspiciously, he could well just have been waiting for a mate with whom to go jogging? But afterwards, I realised it wasn't up to me to decide if my info could have been useful or not. That was up to police and I should have contacted them.) Another reason could just be that some people decide it's not "personal" to them. Nothing to do with them, they might say? Why complicate their lives?

For those related to, or close to the killer, you may be able to sympathise with the murder victim, wish it had never happened, but when all's said and done, this was one of your own who killed him - and blood is thicker than water. Right? You don't want him to ruin his life by having to spend time in prison. So you keep his deadly secret, allowing him to go on and enjoy a normal life - something he denied his victim! Nothing will change for him. He will never face justice.

But what if he kills again? Nothing happened the last time - why not? Maybe he enjoys the feeling of power that killing someone gives him? Maybe he just enjoys the act of killing? Maybe he's a pyschopath, devoid of any feeling at all, out of control? So, you start off by hiding his secret that first time, protecting him, then his acts spiral out of control. You allow a dangerous killer to roam our streets, you let loose a sick, evil mind. To know, but not to say, is a very sad state of affairs because you are putting others at risk. Who knows, maybe even members of your own family? Hopefully that would never happen, but if it did, what then?

To those few, maybe only one out there, who will never reveal what they know, the good news is that now we have the necessary tools to get this done. Thanks to the advances in forensic science and the dedicated work of forensic scientists and police, the identity of George's killer will be revealed one day. Without doubt, it will take much longer than it otherwise would do, with your help. But never fear, it will get done. Only difference being that if science is responsible for bringing George's killer to justice, no reward money will be paid out. But if you should have a change of heart and decide to share what you know and, it conclusively proves that the name you give is that of the killer, then you will receive the £50,000 reward for information.

To those who follow and/or like this Page, who have already come forward with information, who have participated and have joined us in this quest for justice since this FB page was set up, we are indebted to you for all your help. We greatly appreciate the many tips we have received. The police review them all - even though it can take some time (believe me, I share your frustration!) but they are all evaluated. With the help of DNA, many now can be eliminated, but of the others, some still remain strong and continue to be reviewed. After 40 years, you have all helped bring this case back into focus, so please continue to send us your tips, suspicions, any information at all, which you think might be relevant. George Murdoch's killer was confident that he'd left nothing behind on that wet, miserable night on Pitfodels Stn, Rd, when he chose to end the taxi driver's life and silenced him forever. Of course now we know that to be untrue. He left his DNA, a powerful, forensic tool, which one day, will be his downfall!

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMING FORWARD WITH INFORMATION (Part Three)

Following on from previous posts:- 20/6/24, 24/6/24

Years later, after spending some years overseas, my husband and I, along with our German Shepherd, were preparing to relocate to London for his new work assignment. At that time, however, the 6 months quarantine law was still in effect. Instead of putting our pet into quarantine, I chose to remain in Holland for the full 6 months, so that he could be prepared there, for re-entry into the U.K. We arrived in The Netherlands on a weekend, so giving us at least a little time to "find our feet." My husband was due to start his new job on the Monday and I would be moving into our rented property the same day. My Mum would have been with me during my stay in Holland, but very sadly and unexpectedly, had passed away shortly before we left the U.S. And, sadly too, my Dad had passed before we moved overseas, so it was just the dog and I in Holland for the duration, with my husband visiting every other weekend.

We'd leased a property for our time there. It was located in a nice neighbourhood, a quiet, leafy suburb of Amsterdam. The day I moved into the property with the dog, was a busy one. I had no provisions at all and needed to get to a bank to withdraw money. But that all had to wait until after the vet's visit. Our 6 months stay in Holland would start from the date our pet received his first rabies vaccination, so I wanted that done ASAP. Once all that was in order, I set off for town. A few hours later, I was heading back home, laden down with several bags of shopping, plus 500 Euros I'd withdrawn from the bank, to tide us over for a little while. I had several bags in each hand, my handbag slung over my shoulder. Before reaching my street, I stopped to take the house keys out of my bag and transferred them into my pocket. I don't know why I did that, it's something I'd never normally do, but for some strange reason, I did it that day. I'd just entered the street where the property was located and was about half way down, when I heard running footsteps. Probably kids playing, likely chasing each other, I thought. Next thing I knew, I was pushed very hard in the back, causing me to fall forward. I let go of the carriers, a purely reflex response and, in that moment, felt my bag being pulled roughly from my shoulder.

My initial reaction wasn't of fear, but rather it was as if I was watching this happen to someone else in slow motion. My movements seemed to be taking ages. My left side had taken the full force of the fall, as I hit the ground hard. I felt a searing pain around my left rib cage and could hardly breathe. I probably only lay there for a couple of seconds, trying to gather my wits, then slowly got to my feet. Apart from the excruciating pain, which I later discovered was the result of fracturing a couple of ribs, I'd suffered cuts and bruising on my legs and on the left side of my cheek bone. So, it hadn't been kids playing. I'd been mugged!

However, by the time I'd slowly and shakily managed to get to my feet and turned around, there was no sight of anyone. All I'd heard as I was falling, was running receding footsteps. My bag with all my possessions had been stolen. Passport, cash, specs, but one item I valued above all others - a beautiful gold watch my Mum had bought for me as a Christmas present, only months before she passed. I most likely would never see that again. That was the only thing which really upset me. However, no point in going to the police. What could I tell them? Nothing! All I'd heard were footsteps. Maybe I should have turned round then, but that wouldn't have saved me. It might even have made things worse? I didn't see who had done this, I had absolutely no information to give to the police.

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMING FORWARD WITH INFORMATION (Part Two)

Following on from previous post dated 20/6/24:-

Later that week, I was watching Crimewatch and this case happened to be featured. For the first time, a photofit of the attacker was shown. I was 99% positive that the guy I'd seen at the beach, was indeed the individual the police were after. But no use going to them now, I thought. However, a short while later, thankfully, acting on information they had received, I think from someone he knew, the individual was arrested, charged and served an appropriate prison sentence. However, if police hadn't been able to arrest him so quickly after Crimewatch, maybe he would have continued with his attacks, which I seem to recall were growing increasingly aggressive. Often, if those who would do others harm aren't caught, it can embolden them and lead to their attacks increasing in intensity, maybe even resulting in murder. So, thankful as I was that the guy had been caught, I know I ought to have done my duty and reported that sighting to police. Maybe it wouldn't have helped much, maybe they'd have done nothing about my report. But if another attack had happened after my sighting of him, personally, I'd have felt a heavy weight of guilt.

Sometimes we're not even aware that we hold potentially crucial information about a crime until something sparks a memory. We might read something, or hear a conversation in passing which might take us back to a time in our lives when we witnessed something, but without realising the full importance at the time.

Of course we understand only too well that for some, it is very difficult, perhaps impossible, for them to contact police. In this case, there's more than a good chance that a mother, or partner of the killer will never come forward. Love runs deep, especially for a mother and despite a son having brutally murdered an innocent human being, they will never give up a son. If this killer had a wife or partner, that female may have been in an abusive relationship with him, too scared to leave and even more scared to turn him in to police. But I think there's a good chance that others would know or suspect. Rumours abound, people hear things, it's almost inevitable in crimes such as these. And back then , perhaps even to this day, Aberdeen still remains quite a tight community. It's a heavy burden holding on to such a secret for over 40 years.

You are the people we appeal to. I don't know how often we have to say this, but we urge you to come forward. This is why this page was set up. Tell us what you know or suspect. You don't have to get involved with police. You can message us from your own home, remain anonymous if you prefer. We will pass your info on to the police. And even better, now that police have a DNA profile of this killer. If it's not the person you suspect, or have long believed it to be, then he can now easily and quickly be ruled out - or in - as the case may be.

For those who worked on this case in the 1980s' , you may have strong suspicions, which were not acted upon at the time. We remember the community was rife with rumours after this murder took place. Perhaps amongst all those rumours, there might just be a grain of truth? This is why it is so important to share what you know, or heard at the time, with us now. If you don't feel you can come forward yourself, share your information with a friend who might be willing to contact us instead.

The Reward still stands at £50,000

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMING FORWARD WITH INFORMATION (Part One)

Sometimes in life, we do things, we wish afterwards, we hadn't. And equally so, don't do something we wish we had. A number of years ago, I fell into the latter category. Over the next few posts I'd like to share a couple of things with you which happened to me, because they go directly to this issue of people not sharing information which could help others, or help solve a crime. So the next few posts will be centred around this theme.

Early one sunny morning, some years ago, I was walking my GSD along the prom at Aberdeen beach. He was a particularly protective dog of the family, but especially so of me. So I preferred to walk him when it was more likely to be quiet with few people around. When we arrived at the beach, there was no-one in sight. We'd been walking for 10mins or so when I noticed a figure standing way ahead of us in the distance. just at the top of one set of stairs, leading down to the lower level. As we got closer, I saw it was a youngish guy. I thought it a little strange. But maybe he was waiting for a mate, then they'd go jogging together? It took a while for us to get close enough for me to make him out properly, but my feeling of uneasiness increased. At times, my Shepherd exhibited uncanny signs of danger and this was one of them.. I thought about crossing to the other side of the road, so putting more distance between the stranger and us, but didn't want to give him that power over me, so we continued on our path. I sensed my dog becoming increasingly disturbed, so moved him to my other side, so that I was closest to the guy, just incase the dog reacted unexpectedly. Whenever I glanced at the stranger, I saw that his gaze was shifting quickly between me and the dog. Now I strongly felt something wasn't right. By the time we'd got to within a few yards of the guy, the dog began to growl softly, then increasingly louder. I felt him tense, as if ready for action. As we drew level, the dog reared up on his hind legs and launched himself forward in the direction of the stranger. He wasn't close to him, but that served as a warning. The guy took off and disappeared within seconds. It was just at that point that I suddenly recalled reading in the papers at the time, about a young guy who had been attacking females in the beach area, always early morning. Think he'd been posing as a jogger. I decided to go down the steps to see if there was any sign of him and to make sure there was no lone female in sight. There was no sign of anyone at all. I got back to the car and thought about the incident on my way home. Could that have been the guy committing the attacks? Or was he simply an innocent person, waiting for someone, as I'd initially thought? Should I report this to the police? What could I tell them? I really didn't have anything concrete to offer. Him taking off so quickly maybe wasn't so strange, after being confronted by such a powerful dog? Probably the police would think I had an over-active imagination? To be honest, I thought they'd reckon I was wasting their time. All that day, I deliberated as to whether or not to go to the police. I didn't feel right not doing so, but neither did I think I had much in the way of information to offer them. In the end, I didn't do anything. To this day, I regret that.

TO ALL INVOLVED IN 1983 MURDER INVESTIGATION

As the month of Sept 1983 neared an end, the biggest manhunt in the North East was about to unfold. Taxi driver George Murdoch lay dying beside his cab, in the eerie darkness and gloom of Pitfodels Station Road, Cults. His attacker had attempted to garrotte him with a cheese wire, but it appeared that George somehow had managed to release himself from the wire, which had been wound tightly around his neck. It's unknown if he had got out of his cab in an attempt to escape, or if his attacker had dragged him out of his seat. However, given the amount of blood, it's evident that he had either battered, or smashed the driver's head against the nearby stone wall. His victim then fell, either semi-conscious, or was pushed to the ground, then brutally strangled at the hands of his killer. George Murdoch died at 2050 hours.

In the year that followed, the men and women, of all ranks, from Grampian Police, worked tirelessly to bring George's killer to justice. However, this type of case is the most difficult to solve. Stranger on stranger. No easy clues. Unlike the present day, there was no CCTV, no DNA, no mobile phones, which might have allowed the two cyclists to call this in sooner. At that time, they had to rely on pure, solid, tireless police work. Long days, long nights. So, what really happened in this exceptionally long inquiry?

Did they ever come close? Sadly, with the passage of time, some of those officers who worked on the investigation in 1983 have now passed on and, with them, perhaps a wealth of knowledge? Perhaps information which might help the current re-investigation? Perhaps others, who have since resigned or retired, left, regretting that they were unable to bring this evil killer to justice? Some may still be holding on to information which could help? It could just be that names which are currently being looked at, are amongst those who came under scrutiny back then. Your information could add more weight to the investigation?

The recent P&J article, well researched and published by Bryan Rutherford, described how a chap (Ronald Paterson) entered Mr. Chips, on the night before the murder took place, Wed 28th Sept 1983. I must stress that Ronald Paterson had nothing to do with this murder and has been totally exonerated - but that really brought home to us, how little we know of what took place on the night of the murder and in those early years, when this investigation was at its height. To the public in general, were you interviewed, back in 1983, or soon after this murder?

We make this appeal now, to ALL former officers, irrespective as to rank, who worked this case back in 1983, up until the initial investigation began to wind down. Also, to any member of the public, who felt then and, may still feel, that they hold information which could help? It may not be only about a son, brother, father, husband or anyone close - but perhaps a colleague you worked with, maybe a mate you met up with for a drink now and then, perhaps a neighbour? Anyone whom you briefly thought - "could it have been him?", but you dismissed the thought, because "he" seemed so "normal?" Maybe he wasn't?! Any killer can hide behind a facade of normality.

This is why we are reaching out to those of you who may be able to help. You can come forward in total anonymity, so need have no fear that your names will ever be revealed to anyone else. We guarantee that. Without realising it, you may be sitting on important information. Names looked at 40 years ago, may have come to the fore again? It may simply be suspicions, or rumours, names you'd heard in passing? They are no use to you now, but might just help to finally bring justice to this victim. Will you help us?

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

Did you see the P&J's front page today? The article by senior Crime & Investigation reporter, Bryan Rutherford, centred around a mystery which has never fully been solved, 40 years on from the night George Murdoch was so brutally murdered. The chip shop in question, now known as OOR WULLIE'S, on Great Western Rd, Mannofield, is only a mile or so from what became a major, bloody crime scene on the night of Thursday 29th Sept 1983.
An employee at the chip shop (then known as MR.CHIPS) reported that a male, dishevelled and sweating visibly, had entered the chip shop, after 9pm. His hands were bleeding.
Now, for the first time, thanks to excellent investigative work by the P&J reporter, it has been uncovered that a male had entered that same shop, with bleeding hands, the night before the murder, Wednesday 28th Sept. Did the employee mis-remember the date? To have two individual men, with bleeding hands, enter that shop on consecutive nights is indeed a coincidence, to say the least! However, there is one outstanding issue which cannot be overlooked. The male whom the employee was adamant entered the shop on Thurs 29th Sept, had facial marks, as well as bleeding cuts to his hands. There were scratch marks on his cheek, side of his nose and bruising on the lower lid of one eye.. The man who had been in the chip shop the night before, Wed.28th, only had cuts on his hands, from setting hare traps. Is it more likely that we are looking at two men here? One man, Ronald Paterson, completely innocent, who had just been going about the task of trapping hares, and had gone into the chip shop on the Wed night? And another male, who may/may not have been George's killer, who entered the chip shop on the Thurs night, 29th?

Were it not for the P&J and their good work in following up this latest information, the family and public would never have known about this. We greatly appreciate the work carried out by the P&J. And most importantly, would like to extend our sincere appreciation and thanks to the Paterson family for coming forward after all these years and making their story known. Hopefully their example and courage in doing so, might resonate with others who continue to hold on to crucial information.

TRUE CRIME PODCAST AWARDS - 25TH APRIL 2024

On the 29th Sept last year, the 40th anniversary of this, as yet, still unsolved murder, Ryan Ogilvie released a true crime podcast, entitled, Who Is The Cheesewire Killer? It consists of 5 episodes and is an intense, intriguing and totally absorbing production. Ryan is the owner of Mind The Gap Creative, which produces radio commercials and podcasts, but this was his first true crime podcast. It was a huge undertaking. I'd imagine a true crime podcast is vastly different from others, in that the producer needs to be mindful of family sensitivities, ensure that all facts gathered are correct and, that all information is put together in a respectful manner, without adding even more to the trauma and grief which the victim's family and friends have already endured. We should add that Ryan Ogilvie received no money at all from this production, even though it took up most of his time (perhaps more than most?) in the 7 months or so that he was engaged in this venture.

So - it came as no surprise to us, a few months ago, to hear that Ryan had been shortlisted for the Podcast True Crime Awards 2024, which took place yesterday in London. Although not amongst the winners, this was a real honour and incredible achievement for Ryan Ogilvie. For a newcomer to true crime podcasts, this was an amazing feat and we are delighted that he received due acknowledgement for the effort, diligence and very, very hard work he put into this project.

Congratulations and our sincere thanks Ryan from the George Murdoch Appeals Team, for all you have done to keep this horrific cold case in the spotlight. One day, sooner or later (hopefully sooner?) you'll be able to add the final episode to this podcast - when you reveal the actual name of the Cheesewire Killer.

DID YOU RUB SHOULDERS WITH THE KILLER - 40 YEARS AGO?

For most of us, it's difficult enough remembering what we did/where we were on a particular day last week - let alone 40yrs ago! That's only natural. But often, a pivotal moment in our world, a significant event in our lives, whether traumatically sad, or overwhelmingly happy, has the remarkable capacity to bring us back to that distant moment in time. It can often trigger memories and help us focus on what happened that day, even the time the event happened, with amazing clarity.

1983 May 11th - Aberdeen F.C. won the European Cup Winner's Cup in Gothenburg. That incredible achievement brought great joy to the city. It lifted people's spirits. Wherever you went, it seemed as if everyone was smiling! It brought people together in ways that only happen in times of great joy or sadness. Aberdeen - the Oil Capital of Europe. It was a good time to be in the city.

1983 Sept 30th - Aberdeen awoke to the most horrendous news, a taxi driver, viciously murdered on the outskirts of the city, the previous evening, 29th Sept. Assaulted with a cheese wire, then strangled to death at the hands of his killer. Shock, revulsion, fear all radiated around the city. It was unthinkable that someone could launch such a deliberately cruel, savagely depraved attack on any human being. Aberdeen went from euphoria to sheer horror. How could such a thing happen in our city? And worryingly, that person had not been caught. He is still at large, perhaps still living amongst us today? For the past 40 years, that dark cloud has hung over Aberdeen. A stain on our city. The saddest thing of all, is that this case could be quickly solved, if only that one person who knows who killed the taxi driver would come forward. Now, he or she may never do so - BUT - in a weak moment, they might have let slip a name, or without thinking, conveyed information to you, which could be enough to reveal who did this. We need you to please come forward now. Many of you reading this, probably wouldn't even have been born in 1983? Or you'd still have been children. But where we rely on you and, where you really can help, is by talking about this with your parents, or older family members, or sharing the info with them. If anyone can help with the following, please contact us. Contact details are at the end.

1983 Sept 29th. It was a Thurs evening, Meat Loaf was playing at the Capitol, near the top of Union St.. Do you recall that? Perhaps you went to that concert? At any point that evening, were you meeting friends in any of the hotels, or pubs along Albyn Place - Queen's Rd? Do you recall noticing a guy, in his 20s-30s , 5ft 7-8ins tall, dark hair, possibly wearing a dark jumper and dark trousers? Perhaps he looked a little out of place, maybe very drunk, or very loud? Was he alone at the bar? Or had you seen him drinking there before?

One report states that a Ford Cortina taxi (same as the victim drove) picked up a scruffily dressed male outside the New Marcliffe in Queens road at around 8.30pm. Apparently the guy was very drunk and had been turned away by a barmaid at the New Marcliffe. He was asked to leave the hotel bar but it is thought that he may (or may not) then have gone to the Belvidere, before getting into the taxi. If you were there that night, do you remember witnessing this? It is said that his description closely fitted that of the guy police were looking for at the time - George' killer.

Now FF to the area of Pitfodels Stn Rd. The cab attack took place at approx 8.45pm. Before 9pm George was dead. Were you in that vicinity within that timeframe? The following are all reports gathered by police from people in the area around that time. Joggers were known to be in the vicinity around same time. A motorist came forward the following day to say she'd seen a white-faced man, fitting killer's description running along the North Deeside Rd towards the city. He looked frightened. Could he have been the killer? Another report states that the killer made off from Pitfodels Stn Rd towards the Inchgarth Rd area?

If you haven't already reported any sightings of a male on his own, running from the crime scene (top of Pitfodels Stn Rd) we appeal to you now to please let us know. Or indeed, if you know anything at all about this case, please contact us. Whether only suspicions, or hard facts. They can be easily checked out by police and if you give us names, again the police are now in the advantageous position of being able to see if there is a DNA match to the profile they hold of the killer. And if so, then after 40 long years, the police finally have George's killer.
