Five Daughters (2010) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
The murders of Gemma Adams and Tania Nicol have been formally linked, and investigations are continuing on a third unnamed woman.
It says I've got a place at a rehab clinic.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm going to beat this.
More TV cameras.
Wankers.
LAUGHING Mum? I am sorry, really sorry.
Hurting people you love, stealing from themI want to stop.
Any chance of you keeping off the streets until then? I need the money.
I'm worried about my friend, Paula Clennell.
She's gone missing.
If she doesn't pick up, should we call the police? My daughter's missing.
Something's happened, because she would have called me.
This girl's on display.
He doesn't care what happens next.
I'm sorry.
It definitely is Anneli, I'm afraid.
I don't want to stay here.
I can't.
Hello, yeah.
I'm at the church, and thethe doors are locked.
I, um, I need to pray for my daughter.
She'sshe's been killed, and I, umI can't go to my own church and I can't go home, and and I'm hiding from the newspapers, and I want to pray for her.
Bless you for finding your way to the light.
Together, may we ask and trust that our all-knowing Father is lovingly holding your daughter as she travels back to her true home.
May we trust that as she was taken so violently from us, and her physical form ripped so cruelly from us, that she may arrive in peace and safety.
May she know that she is loved as she was in the physical realm, as love cannot die.
Oh, no.
No.
Henwood.
Whereabouts on the Old Felixstowe Road? It's a long road.
Sir, please remain calm and stay on the line.
A car will be with you shortly.
I can't get past the feeling he might be watching me.
Stewart.
We've got another one, a call from the Old Felixstowe Road.
A woman's body, dumped just yards from the roadside, naked.
This is madness.
Uniform are on their way.
Scene of crime have been notified.
Get the helicopter up there.
PILOT: 'Just coming over the area now.
'Clear sight.
'Now.
'Clear.
Perfect.
' She can't be more than 20, 25 feet from the road.
She's just been dumped.
'Wait a minute.
'We have something approximately 150 metres south-west of the target'.
No.
'Looks like another body.
' 'Oh, my God'.
It's another girl.
I can't tell you it definitely is Annette, but it's important you know that two girls have been found, and one of them could be her.
One of the girls, in all probability, is Annette.
But you don't know, not for sure? Identities have not been confirmed, no.
Why not take me there right now? I could say yes or no.
Mrs Nicholls, we can't do that.
We have to preserve the surrounding area from damage.
She's my daughter.
Don't I have a right? The most important thing that we can do right now is to preserve any evidence that might exist to help us find whoever did this.
I don't believe it's her.
I don't.
They've found a body.
It doesn't mean it's Annette.
She's not that stupid.
Stupid enough to be taking that poison.
Stupid enough to be doing what she does to pay for it.
I'd feel it.
If it was her, I know I would, and I don't.
Oh, my God, Mum.
Have you heard anything else? Not yet.
Not yet.
What I'm about to tell you is literally breaking news.
I can confirm that this afternoon, Tuesday 12th December, two bodies have been found near Ipswich.
At 3.
05pm, the police received a call from a member of the public who was at the time walking along the Old Felixstowe Road, near the Levington turnoff.
He saw what appeared to be the naked body of a female about 20 feet off the road.
Police immediately attended, closing the road and setting up a cordon, and a police helicopter was sent up to film the scene.
About 40 minutes later at 3.
48pm, a crew member of the helicopter spotted what appeared to be a second body a few hundred yards from the first.
Two more.
Because of the discovery of these two further bodies so close to where the body of Anneli Alderton was found, we can only fear the worst.
The natural assumption is that these two bodies are the bodies of the two missing girls, Annette Nicholls, aged 29 years, and Paula Clennell, aged 24.
That's an assumption, and you'll understand that that's yet to be confirmed.
My appeal at this stage is for anyone with any further information please to come forward and contact Suffolk police.
Any questions? PHONE RINGS We went out about midnight.
It was only going to be for ten minutes.
We were scared, me more than Paula.
She was cluckin' more than she was scared, you know? Yeah.
It's the way it goes.
When you need the gear, it's all you can think about.
That's where she was.
I know exactly what she was wearing, right down to her brand new knickers.
We'd been shopping.
And we had a lovely bath together, got dressed together.
The night she disappeared, Paula had a bath? Yeah.
We do wash, you know, we're not fuckin' animals.
REPORTER: Mr Gull! Any comments? REPORTERS SHOUTING Morning, Sir.
Chief Superintendent! Mr Gull! Nat, thanks for coming down.
There's not much I want to do except take a look.
The SOCOs can have what's left of the day.
But you can make a start first thing? Yes.
Good.
Even if I start first light, that still means that one of the girls will be left out for two nights, tonight and tomorrow.
I need the 24 hours' distance between the two examinations.
That's what's required, Nat, that's what we do.
Anneli Alderton gave us good forensic samples, fibres and DNA.
Hopefully, these girls will do the same.
PHONE RINGS Terribly sorry.
I'd better take this.
I'll take a closer look.
Andy, where are you? I'm at the perimeter.
Guess who's hanging around? Tom Stephens.
He's talking to the press.
I think he's seems to be enjoying the attention.
It doesn't make him guilty.
I think we need to deal with him, Stewart, even if it's only to eliminate him.
Observation? Yes.
I'll speak with the ACC.
You're right, it's about prevention.
She'll go with it.
Good.
I'm happy.
It'll have to be in the morning.
Jacqui and the chief are at the town hall tonight, meeting the people.
Will they be carrying pitchforks, do you think? They've seen five bodies in ten days, and no arrests.
They won't be happy.
We've put up with these women on our doorstep for years, and now you're telling us you're no longer arresting them! Isn't prostitution a crime any more? As I explained, at this moment in time, it isn't working, arresting the girls, and could possibly be counter-productive.
If it gets them off the bloody streets! Temporarily.
How can it be counter-productive? If there were no prostitutes, there'd be no dealers, no drugs, no kerb-crawlers and no murders.
It's about time you lot started thinking about the ordinary people.
They're committing a crime, and they should be bloody well arrested for it! Hopefullyhopefully, most of you know my face, I'm WPC Janet Humphrey, and I've spent night after night doing just what you're asking for, arresting the girls on the street.
I've been a part of teams when we've done a blitz on the girls and the punters, but nothing's changed.
Whose fault is that? It's like the police station has a revolving door.
We bring 'em in, we charge 'em, but soon after, they're right back out there.
Then lock them up.
We all want the same thing here.
We all want the girls off the street, permanently off the street.
But to do that, we have to help them.
Do you live around here? Especially now.
We have to remember that these girls are somebody's sister, somebody's daughter, somebody's mother, and we have to help them.
It's a simple enough question - yes or no, do you live around here? Do you wake up to find needles and condoms in your garden? Yes or no? No, I don't live round here, but this is my beat, and the arrest policy does not work.
That is a fact.
Something has to change.
We have to find a way of keeping these girls safe.
Excuse me, can I speak? Excuse me, can I sayexcuse me, can I speak, please? Can I say something? Right, I'll, er I'll try and make this brief, but I am prone to the odd ramble when passionate.
The only way to get the girls off the street and out of your lives is to help the girls get their own lives back, and that can be done.
Now, believe it or not, none of these girls want to be on the street.
None of them want to be selling themselves on the street.
They're there because they are drug dependent, either on heroin or crack.
Now it's that dependency that needs to be tackled.
My name's Brian Tobin.
I'm the manager of the Iceni Project, town centre.
We've just kindly been given a lump sum of money to help the girls.
So I'm here today to say to the girls, to their families, to the police, you send the girls to us, and we'll help them with their drug dependency.
We'll help them by counselling them.
We'll help them with education, with housing if necessary.
We'll help them to keep themselves off the street, because that's the only way it's going to work.
Paula Clennell, that's a name some of us here arefamiliar with.
Paula was booked in this morning to see me, 10.
30, at the project.
It was supposed to be her first step back to a new life.
It's too late for .
.
her now.
But it's not too late for others.
Morningisn't it? Shouldn't you be in bed? Not on my own.
You look shattered.
Tree looks nice.
Thought it might cheer you up.
Cup of tea? I'd love one.
You will catch him.
Yes, we will.
Any closer? We'll find him.
Them.
Come on, Stewart, make me feel better.
Emily's coming home.
She's going to want to go into Ipswich to have a drink with her friends, or shopping.
Do we let her? I don't know.
It's all everyone is talking about.
The world seems to be talking about it.
The hunt for the killer or killers has put enormous pressure on the Suffolk police force, and on dozens of communities in the Ipswich area.
A big national organisation is likely to make a better fist of it than some, frankly, non-premier league constabulary like Suffolk.
I wouldn't characterise them as non-premier league.
Forensic scientists are continuing to comb the woodland where two of the bodies were found yesterday.
The identities of the women have not yet been confirmed, but the bodies are though to be those of Paula Clennell and Annette Nicholls.
Police have already linked the deaths of three other prostitutes whose bodies have been discovered in the last ten days, two of whom were reported missing at the end of October.
I wish they'd go away, the newspapers.
How long did they say they'd be? Half an hour.
It's been 40 minutes.
It was cold last night.
She doesn't like the cold.
Here they are now.
KNOCK AT DOOR Is it her? Is it my Netti? Rosemary, I'm so sorry.
It's bad news Noooo! So I've lost my daughter? I'm so sorry.
KNOCK AT DOOR Leave it.
I'll tell them one last time.
No, just leave it, leave it.
They won't listen.
I'll make them listen.
Alice, please, leave it alone.
Isabella, have the police confirmed to you that one of the bodies found is Paula? One interview, that's all.
I've put an offer through the door.
It would be good to hear what Paula was really like.
Say somethingabout Paula.
The last time I saw her, remember I told you I saw her in town, months ago? Yeah.
She squeezed the life out of me.
She was really happy to see me.
Mum she asked for my phone number.
I gave her a wrong number, on purpose.
You know why.
This was months ago, but I can't stop thinking about it.
She was difficult to have around.
It wasn't her fault, taking things.
You did your best.
I did my best.
We tried.
For years, we tried.
I hope she put up a fight.
I hope she scratched and clawed him.
I hope she's found some peace, because God knows it's something she's never had since she was six or seven years old.
Never.
All she wanted was to be loved and to give love.
Am I wrong? You're right.
Mum Rochelle? Rochelle, it's Janet.
'What do you want?' Rochelle, can you open the door, please? I've brought you a bit of breakfast.
And more questions? I thought we could take a look at the Iceni Project.
They're good people.
They can help you.
I'm not walking away, Rochelle.
Look at the state of it.
Stop whining, Brian.
I'm not whining Brian What time were you meant to be here? Hang on.
Hi.
I can see you're busy, but this is Rochelle, a friend of Paula's.
Hello, Rochelle.
Rochelle, this is Brian.
Paula mentioned you.
She said you were all right.
Well, we do our best.
Look, I'm a little bit busy.
I'll be back I've been scared he'll kill me next.
I have been so scared he's going to kill me next.
I saw his car.
OK, ermaybe a cup of tea? No, I don't need tea.
I don't want tea.
I need my gear, I need money.
She said you've got money to help me.
It doesn't work like that, Rochelle.
I need money because I'm fucking dying and I am shitting myself.
Do you want me fucking dead, is that it? No! I do not want you fucking dead! I do not want that.
I want to help you.
Do you understand? I want to help you, Rochelle.
Can you let go of my arm, please? I'm sorry.
OK, er, we'll take this outside.
Yes.
I don't mean to be nasty.
I'm not like that, but all I need is money for my gear.
I don't want to go out tonight, but I might.
I will, because I need it.
I'm Paula a few nights ago.
I'm in the same place, only worse.
I begged her not to go, but she had to.
Now it's my turn.
I don't want it to be my turn.
Come into the programme.
I don't want an appointment card! It's not much, but it's enough and it will get you through the night.
I want to see you back here tomorrow morning, please.
OK.
You come into the programme, you accept an appointment that you will keep, and you will save your own life.
Do it for Paula.
OK.
Yeah? Yeah.
Take it.
Word gets out we're giving out money to score Did I have a choice, Patrick? No.
If it meant keeping her off the street, if we had a stash of heroin, we'd give her heroin.
What good's a grocery voucher if you're clucking for drugs? REPORTER: The place where the discoveries were made was today subject to so much forensic examination, the naked bodies were left under tents for most of the day.
The undergrowth was searched inch by inch.
Officers want anything that shows who came here and when.
Nat Cary, the Home Office pathologist, supervised some of the work.
He has now seen five bodies in a week and a half, and the police are all too aware that the killer is still out there.
Useful, Nat? Um, a cautious yes.
I'm hopeful.
REPORTER: This evening, moving slowly away from Levington, the body of a young woman.
There is still strong support for the work that the police are doing.
The people want answers.
They want this killer caught.
Morning.
Thank you.
Cathy's made us food, and lots of it.
Julie's done the same.
I saw the note about Paula Clennell, her taking a bath before going out.
Yeah.
Let's hope that gives us something we can use.
Starting the day we found Anneli Alderton, we've had a checkpoint just here, the road from Ipswich to Nacton Wood, where she was found.
If a guy was driving along here towards Nacton, saw the checkpoint and didn't want to go any further, he'd turn here.
If he was carrying something he wanted to get rid of quickly, he'd head for the nearest accessible woodland, the Old Felixstowe Road.
He'd have to know the area.
Know it well, and know the girls well.
From the days we found Gemma and Tania, the other girls have been telling us they will only go with punters they know, but they keep getting in the killer's car.
Because they know him.
He's a punter.
A friendly face.
Tom Stephens.
What was he doing last night? Nothing.
He had a night in.
We've searched his house, found nothing.
Questioned him under caution, produced nothing much at all.
Why is he bringing attention to himself? Mr Gull! Hello, Mr Gull! Morning.
Good morning.
Still in charge, Mr Gull? Still here.
Cheeky bastard.
REPORTER: More than 2,000 calls from the public, but police working round the clock have still made no arrests in this unprecedented investigation, There are now 150 officers hunting the killer or killers of five women.
'Most crimes like this are solved by tip-offs, the reporting of someone behaving strangely.
' 'The fear is that the killer is enjoying the hunt, the massive attention, and so may strike again.
' Registration check, please, on burgundy Ford Focus, Victor Oscar five three Golf Uniform Hotel.
Let's find out who he's talking to.
I'm going to cry.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, mate.
That's fine.
I should be out there now, watching over them.
Do you feel they need watching over? If I was out there tonight, I could watch over a girl, but I would tell her I can't keep her safe.
The police have shown an interest in you.
Are you worried that you might end up in the frame for the murders? I could get arrested.
That is quite likely.
Let's not say likely, let's say possible.
They might question you, but why would they arrest you? They'd only arrest you if they thought you were guilty of something.
I would have complete opportunity.
The girls, they trusted me so much.
If I had blindfolded them and taken them to the edge of a cliff and said, "Take two steps, but three and you'll go over," they would have taken two steps.
From police profiling, it does look like me.
White male between 25 and 45, knows the area, works strange hours.
I know that I'm innocent.
But I don't have alibis for some of the times.
Actually, I'm not sure I have tight alibis for any of the times.
A Sunday Mirror journalist.
He was with him for over two hours, and on several occasions became distressed, crying, sobbing.
Everything we have on Tom Stephens is circumstantial, right? That's right, but to ignore him would be negligent, a risk.
OK, we'll have to see if we can get hold of the press copy.
Now? I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
'Tonight, the final body is removed.
' 'It's thought this is Annette Nicholls.
' 'The other body removed from this area last night was today named as' 'Paula Clennell, the police confirming her death was murder.
' She was a beautiful baby.
People used to stop me in the street and say so.
I love you, Paula.
I can now confirm that the bodies found at Levington on Tuesday 12th December 2006 are those of missing girls Paula Clennell, aged 24, and Annette Nicholls, aged 29.
Suffolk Police have launched two further murder investigations.
It's a mistake.
Please let it be a mistake.
Please Martin? That's OK.
You wait here.
Nina? Nina! A present.
A top-up, for your phone.
Call me.
Can I buy you a cup of coffee? No, thank you.
I'm meeting a friend.
Come on, let me get you a coffee.
Why? It's a cup of coffee.
I've been here fucking years and you couldn't have cared less.
Does it take five girls to die before you look at me twice? Is that it? You can fuck off.
Shove your coffee up your arse.
Tobacco ain't gonna do it for you, babe.
Please No.
I'm dying here! Yeah, like you give a fuck.
Can't you see I'm dying? Can't you see I don't want to get killed, you selfish, hairy bastard? Come on, you'll be all right! Who the fuck would want to kill you, huh? I mean, apart from me, obviously.
If you cared anything about me, Billy, you wouldn't ask.
You'd be out grafting.
Grafting? Are you What, when I'm like this? And grafting where, exactly? My point is, I'm not sure you even like me, never mind love me.
Babe, look, look.
Babe, come on, you know I care about you.
Babe, you know that.
You know that.
But I know you, see? You're a queen bee.
You can look after yourself.
You're not like the others.
You know? You're clever.
Honey, you're clever.
Listen to me, listen to me, I'll get down my knees, OK, and I will adore you.
I will love you and kiss you head to toe and all those little bits in-between, yeah? Please.
Only you can take this pain away.
Just say yeah.
For me.
Here we go.
Better make a call to JQ if he's going out at this hour.
Start her up.
OK.
RADIO: He's on the move.
Andy? Stewart, Tom Stephens left his house five minutes ago.
Heading where? At the moment, towards town.
But John Quinton's got a permanent line to the Obs team.
Good.
Get a permanent line to John and we'll follow him.
Right.
Call you back.
What is it? Not another girl? No, not another girl.
How are the roads? Much traffic? Just us and him.
We're staying well back.
John, where are they now? He's headed for the town centre.
Nearly there.
An update? He's heading for the red-light area.
We're on London Road.
And he's turning left.
A side street.
He's stopped.
There's a couple of girls out working.
Can you believe it? At the moment, he's just sitting there.
Hang on.
Here we go.
He's moving.
RADIO: Slowly, towards one of the girls.
What the bloody hell are they doing still out there? What's the matter with them? And he's picked up the girl.
She got straight into his car, no messing about.
And he's away.
We are following.
Don't lose him.
We cannot afford to lose him now.
John? Talk us through it.
We are we now, lads? Have left town and heading towards the A14.
He's about 50 yards straight ahead.
Brake lights going on.
He's at the junction now and turning left onto the A14.
There he is, straight ahead.
Speed is 40 mph.
What's up ahead? Nacton Wood.
Past where Anneli Alderton was found.
After that, open countryside.
Two kilometres along A14.
Speed now 48 miles per hour.
He's about 75 yards ahead of us.
I think that's close enough for this time of day, don't you? You're the judge.
Just don't lose him.
Three kilometres along A14.
Clear road.
Where the hell is he going? Let's end it.
John, it's too dangerous to continue.
Stop him now and get the girl out safely.
Stop him on what pretext? Our priority is the safety of the girl.
Stop the car.
SIREN BLARES Do we believe he really wants to protect these women? Watch over them? Do we think he's deluded, perhaps? We can't afford to give him any benefit of doubt.
It's as simple as that.
He's an unquantifiable risk.
You consider him to be a suspect.
Yes.
Yes.
Do we want to arrest or do we continue with the observation? And wait for him to pick up another girl? He's still hanging around the red-light area, the deposition sites.
He's still calling the incident room and even the people at Iceni.
Managing him as a risk is both dangerous and a drain on manpower.
We need to bring him in, eliminate or implicate, once and for all.
How long do you need to make preparations for an arrest? 24 hours at least.
I'd want the interviewing officers clued up and rehearsed.
Monday morning.
Yes.
Always happy to see a face I know.
Why the house? I thought you liked it in the car.
Doing it in the buff is an extra.
Did I say? Go down there.
I'll be a minute.
BANGING Out.
What was that? OUT! Rochelle? All right? I'm back.
Good to see you.
Patrick won't keep you long.
Patrick, if you're giving every tart off the street a hand-out, where's mine? Why aren't I getting help with my gas bill? We're talking about people's lives being at risk.
And do you think that's what they're spending it on? Gas bills? Are you getting the help and support you need, Zoe? They're taking money out of your pocket and giving it straight to a fucking dealer.
Zoe, are you personally getting the help and support you need? Are you happy with the service we're providing? I'll tell you what we're not happy with, and that's the place being full of people who don't belong here! Bloody prostitutes! People who don't belong here? Is that right? That's right.
No, that's fucking wrong! If these girls are serious about changing their lives, then they do belong here just as much as you, because you all want the same thing.
So don't you fucking dare try to dictate who belongs here! I'll say again.
Are you happy with the service we're providing to you, specifically you? Yeah.
Good.
Thank you.
Be with you in a minute, Rochelle.
Police investigating the murders of five women in Suffolk have released CCTV pictures showing one of the victims on the day she was last seen.
Anneli Alderton boarded the 5.
53 train from Harwich on Sunday December 3rd.
The CCTV pictures reveal for the first time what she was wearing when she was last seen.
Frustratingly for the police, she is alone in the carriage.
From here, she vanishes without trace until her naked body is found a week later.
Did anyone else on the train that day see her? Will these pictures jog a vital memory? CHATTERING Stewart, sorry for barging in, but this just can't wait.
Dave Stagg's just called.
There's been a development.
I think we might have just struck gold.
We have a DNA profile, a single DNA profile, obtained not from just one of the girls' bodies, but from all three of them, the same profile.
We have a match.
We have a name.
That's fantastic.
Fantastic.
You're not going to ask who it is? It's a man called Steven Wright.
Steven Wright.
Do we know him? You're sure? One hundred per cent sure, Andy.
His DNA profile comes from a routine sample taken a few years back.
He stole some money from his old employer.
He's our man.
OK, we need to find out everything we can about this guy.
He's in the system.
He has to be.
It's just after seven.
We reconvene here at nine.
That's two hours.
I want everything.
Alan, has there been any progress in the efforts to try to narrow the list of suspects? Moira, we don't even know whether there is a list of suspects.
A couple of days ago, the police said there were 50 to 100 people in whom they were interested.
But a list of people in whom you're interested in for information is not the same as a list of suspects, so I don't get the impression there's any kind of net-tightening here.
Steven Wright, aged 48, drives a blue Ford Mondeo which has been flagged on numerous occasions by our plate readers.
However, he does live in the heart of the red-light district, at number 79 London Road.
He moved in there in the October of this year.
Just two months ago? Works as a fork-lift truck driver in a distribution centre.
London Road? We've a door-to-door going on in London Road.
Right now? Right now.
Call them.
Find out exactly where they are.
Don't spook them, don't give anything away, just find out where they are.
Just two months in the area.
Does he live alone? With his girlfriend, partner, who works shifts.
Paula Clennell's friend Rochelle.
She talked about a blue car.
Danny, it's JQ.
How's it going? 'It's going OK.
It's going fine, sir.
' You're still in London Road? Yeah, we're at number 79, talking to a Mr Steven Wright.
Many houses left? Two, three.
Three, I think.
So you'll be finished when? Hour, hour and a half.
OK, it's just I might have another street for you, that's all.
Sir, I'm due to finish.
Think of the overtime.
Talk later.
They're at number 79, talking to Steven Wright.
Bloody hell.
OK, we need to get him under strict observation.
John, can you do that? We're not going to jump him? No.
I'd like to, but we can't.
We have to do this right.
He's answering questions as part of a door-to-door.
He's not under caution.
We let it run its course.
And we need to prepare.
But a ring of steel, John, strict obs.
Starting right now? Starting right now.
Let's not lose sight of him for a second.
Sure.
We'll need 24 hours to prep the arrest and forensic teams, and I'll need a clean hire car to take him from his home to the holding station.
And the car has to be spotless, no previous police use.
We take no chances.
OK.
The hard work starts with this arrest.
What about Tom Stephens? We go ahead as planned.
He's a suspect until he's eliminated.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Detectives investigating the murder of five women in the Ipswich area have today, Monday the 18th of December, arrested a man.
The 37-year-old man was arrested at his home in Trimley, near Felixstowe, at approximately 7.
20 am this morning.
The man is currently in custody at a police station in Suffolk, where he will be facing questions later today.
We will not be naming the police station where the man is being held.
Mr Stephens is being questioned at an unnamed police station.
Since his arrest his house has been cordoned off.
A white forensic tent has been put up and covers the front door.
Specialist officers have been seen putting on protective clothing and carrying equipment into the property Target's now at home address.
We're all set.
All ready.
Hire car's clean, arrest team sorted, forensic team sorted.
Roadblocks? Officers allocated and all ready to go.
All we have to do now is wait, and then go.
We need to get this right, Andy, for the families and for the court.
We will.
KNOCK AT DOOR Mr Steven Wright? Yes.
May we come in, please? Steven Wright, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Gemma Adams, Tania Nicol, Anneli Alderton, Paula Clennell and Annette Nicholls.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
A second man has now been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of five women in Suffolk.
The 48-year-old man was arrested at his home address in Ipswich at approximately 5 am this morning.
He has been arrested on suspicion of murdering all five women .
.
Gemma Adams, Tania Nicol, Anneli Alderton, Paula Clennell and Annette Nicholls.
That is the end of the statement.
I think that's what it was like.
And there was a fluorescent jacket in the hallway.
Yes.
I could have been next .
.
only his girlfriend come home or something.
There was a bang.
I was next.
I'm going to get off this shit.
For those girls.
For my mate, Annette.
"I want your head on my shoulder.
"I want to breathe you in and know that you're safe.
"I want to see you, feet up, watching telly.
"I want to tell you not to swear.
"Angel girl.
" Come back to me.
"Me and my adorable man Will one day walk Hand in hand" 'Me and my adorable man Will one day walk Hand in hand 'Away from this place.
'For the rest of our days 'For the rest of our lives No more this, No more that No more the other 'Me and my brave, brave man 'Nights in with the telly Days out with the family 'A walk in the park 'See me, the sister 'See me, the daughter 'Perhaps, in time, a wife 'So proud 'See me, 'a mother.
'
It says I've got a place at a rehab clinic.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm going to beat this.
More TV cameras.
Wankers.
LAUGHING Mum? I am sorry, really sorry.
Hurting people you love, stealing from themI want to stop.
Any chance of you keeping off the streets until then? I need the money.
I'm worried about my friend, Paula Clennell.
She's gone missing.
If she doesn't pick up, should we call the police? My daughter's missing.
Something's happened, because she would have called me.
This girl's on display.
He doesn't care what happens next.
I'm sorry.
It definitely is Anneli, I'm afraid.
I don't want to stay here.
I can't.
Hello, yeah.
I'm at the church, and thethe doors are locked.
I, um, I need to pray for my daughter.
She'sshe's been killed, and I, umI can't go to my own church and I can't go home, and and I'm hiding from the newspapers, and I want to pray for her.
Bless you for finding your way to the light.
Together, may we ask and trust that our all-knowing Father is lovingly holding your daughter as she travels back to her true home.
May we trust that as she was taken so violently from us, and her physical form ripped so cruelly from us, that she may arrive in peace and safety.
May she know that she is loved as she was in the physical realm, as love cannot die.
Oh, no.
No.
Henwood.
Whereabouts on the Old Felixstowe Road? It's a long road.
Sir, please remain calm and stay on the line.
A car will be with you shortly.
I can't get past the feeling he might be watching me.
Stewart.
We've got another one, a call from the Old Felixstowe Road.
A woman's body, dumped just yards from the roadside, naked.
This is madness.
Uniform are on their way.
Scene of crime have been notified.
Get the helicopter up there.
PILOT: 'Just coming over the area now.
'Clear sight.
'Now.
'Clear.
Perfect.
' She can't be more than 20, 25 feet from the road.
She's just been dumped.
'Wait a minute.
'We have something approximately 150 metres south-west of the target'.
No.
'Looks like another body.
' 'Oh, my God'.
It's another girl.
I can't tell you it definitely is Annette, but it's important you know that two girls have been found, and one of them could be her.
One of the girls, in all probability, is Annette.
But you don't know, not for sure? Identities have not been confirmed, no.
Why not take me there right now? I could say yes or no.
Mrs Nicholls, we can't do that.
We have to preserve the surrounding area from damage.
She's my daughter.
Don't I have a right? The most important thing that we can do right now is to preserve any evidence that might exist to help us find whoever did this.
I don't believe it's her.
I don't.
They've found a body.
It doesn't mean it's Annette.
She's not that stupid.
Stupid enough to be taking that poison.
Stupid enough to be doing what she does to pay for it.
I'd feel it.
If it was her, I know I would, and I don't.
Oh, my God, Mum.
Have you heard anything else? Not yet.
Not yet.
What I'm about to tell you is literally breaking news.
I can confirm that this afternoon, Tuesday 12th December, two bodies have been found near Ipswich.
At 3.
05pm, the police received a call from a member of the public who was at the time walking along the Old Felixstowe Road, near the Levington turnoff.
He saw what appeared to be the naked body of a female about 20 feet off the road.
Police immediately attended, closing the road and setting up a cordon, and a police helicopter was sent up to film the scene.
About 40 minutes later at 3.
48pm, a crew member of the helicopter spotted what appeared to be a second body a few hundred yards from the first.
Two more.
Because of the discovery of these two further bodies so close to where the body of Anneli Alderton was found, we can only fear the worst.
The natural assumption is that these two bodies are the bodies of the two missing girls, Annette Nicholls, aged 29 years, and Paula Clennell, aged 24.
That's an assumption, and you'll understand that that's yet to be confirmed.
My appeal at this stage is for anyone with any further information please to come forward and contact Suffolk police.
Any questions? PHONE RINGS We went out about midnight.
It was only going to be for ten minutes.
We were scared, me more than Paula.
She was cluckin' more than she was scared, you know? Yeah.
It's the way it goes.
When you need the gear, it's all you can think about.
That's where she was.
I know exactly what she was wearing, right down to her brand new knickers.
We'd been shopping.
And we had a lovely bath together, got dressed together.
The night she disappeared, Paula had a bath? Yeah.
We do wash, you know, we're not fuckin' animals.
REPORTER: Mr Gull! Any comments? REPORTERS SHOUTING Morning, Sir.
Chief Superintendent! Mr Gull! Nat, thanks for coming down.
There's not much I want to do except take a look.
The SOCOs can have what's left of the day.
But you can make a start first thing? Yes.
Good.
Even if I start first light, that still means that one of the girls will be left out for two nights, tonight and tomorrow.
I need the 24 hours' distance between the two examinations.
That's what's required, Nat, that's what we do.
Anneli Alderton gave us good forensic samples, fibres and DNA.
Hopefully, these girls will do the same.
PHONE RINGS Terribly sorry.
I'd better take this.
I'll take a closer look.
Andy, where are you? I'm at the perimeter.
Guess who's hanging around? Tom Stephens.
He's talking to the press.
I think he's seems to be enjoying the attention.
It doesn't make him guilty.
I think we need to deal with him, Stewart, even if it's only to eliminate him.
Observation? Yes.
I'll speak with the ACC.
You're right, it's about prevention.
She'll go with it.
Good.
I'm happy.
It'll have to be in the morning.
Jacqui and the chief are at the town hall tonight, meeting the people.
Will they be carrying pitchforks, do you think? They've seen five bodies in ten days, and no arrests.
They won't be happy.
We've put up with these women on our doorstep for years, and now you're telling us you're no longer arresting them! Isn't prostitution a crime any more? As I explained, at this moment in time, it isn't working, arresting the girls, and could possibly be counter-productive.
If it gets them off the bloody streets! Temporarily.
How can it be counter-productive? If there were no prostitutes, there'd be no dealers, no drugs, no kerb-crawlers and no murders.
It's about time you lot started thinking about the ordinary people.
They're committing a crime, and they should be bloody well arrested for it! Hopefullyhopefully, most of you know my face, I'm WPC Janet Humphrey, and I've spent night after night doing just what you're asking for, arresting the girls on the street.
I've been a part of teams when we've done a blitz on the girls and the punters, but nothing's changed.
Whose fault is that? It's like the police station has a revolving door.
We bring 'em in, we charge 'em, but soon after, they're right back out there.
Then lock them up.
We all want the same thing here.
We all want the girls off the street, permanently off the street.
But to do that, we have to help them.
Do you live around here? Especially now.
We have to remember that these girls are somebody's sister, somebody's daughter, somebody's mother, and we have to help them.
It's a simple enough question - yes or no, do you live around here? Do you wake up to find needles and condoms in your garden? Yes or no? No, I don't live round here, but this is my beat, and the arrest policy does not work.
That is a fact.
Something has to change.
We have to find a way of keeping these girls safe.
Excuse me, can I speak? Excuse me, can I sayexcuse me, can I speak, please? Can I say something? Right, I'll, er I'll try and make this brief, but I am prone to the odd ramble when passionate.
The only way to get the girls off the street and out of your lives is to help the girls get their own lives back, and that can be done.
Now, believe it or not, none of these girls want to be on the street.
None of them want to be selling themselves on the street.
They're there because they are drug dependent, either on heroin or crack.
Now it's that dependency that needs to be tackled.
My name's Brian Tobin.
I'm the manager of the Iceni Project, town centre.
We've just kindly been given a lump sum of money to help the girls.
So I'm here today to say to the girls, to their families, to the police, you send the girls to us, and we'll help them with their drug dependency.
We'll help them by counselling them.
We'll help them with education, with housing if necessary.
We'll help them to keep themselves off the street, because that's the only way it's going to work.
Paula Clennell, that's a name some of us here arefamiliar with.
Paula was booked in this morning to see me, 10.
30, at the project.
It was supposed to be her first step back to a new life.
It's too late for .
.
her now.
But it's not too late for others.
Morningisn't it? Shouldn't you be in bed? Not on my own.
You look shattered.
Tree looks nice.
Thought it might cheer you up.
Cup of tea? I'd love one.
You will catch him.
Yes, we will.
Any closer? We'll find him.
Them.
Come on, Stewart, make me feel better.
Emily's coming home.
She's going to want to go into Ipswich to have a drink with her friends, or shopping.
Do we let her? I don't know.
It's all everyone is talking about.
The world seems to be talking about it.
The hunt for the killer or killers has put enormous pressure on the Suffolk police force, and on dozens of communities in the Ipswich area.
A big national organisation is likely to make a better fist of it than some, frankly, non-premier league constabulary like Suffolk.
I wouldn't characterise them as non-premier league.
Forensic scientists are continuing to comb the woodland where two of the bodies were found yesterday.
The identities of the women have not yet been confirmed, but the bodies are though to be those of Paula Clennell and Annette Nicholls.
Police have already linked the deaths of three other prostitutes whose bodies have been discovered in the last ten days, two of whom were reported missing at the end of October.
I wish they'd go away, the newspapers.
How long did they say they'd be? Half an hour.
It's been 40 minutes.
It was cold last night.
She doesn't like the cold.
Here they are now.
KNOCK AT DOOR Is it her? Is it my Netti? Rosemary, I'm so sorry.
It's bad news Noooo! So I've lost my daughter? I'm so sorry.
KNOCK AT DOOR Leave it.
I'll tell them one last time.
No, just leave it, leave it.
They won't listen.
I'll make them listen.
Alice, please, leave it alone.
Isabella, have the police confirmed to you that one of the bodies found is Paula? One interview, that's all.
I've put an offer through the door.
It would be good to hear what Paula was really like.
Say somethingabout Paula.
The last time I saw her, remember I told you I saw her in town, months ago? Yeah.
She squeezed the life out of me.
She was really happy to see me.
Mum she asked for my phone number.
I gave her a wrong number, on purpose.
You know why.
This was months ago, but I can't stop thinking about it.
She was difficult to have around.
It wasn't her fault, taking things.
You did your best.
I did my best.
We tried.
For years, we tried.
I hope she put up a fight.
I hope she scratched and clawed him.
I hope she's found some peace, because God knows it's something she's never had since she was six or seven years old.
Never.
All she wanted was to be loved and to give love.
Am I wrong? You're right.
Mum Rochelle? Rochelle, it's Janet.
'What do you want?' Rochelle, can you open the door, please? I've brought you a bit of breakfast.
And more questions? I thought we could take a look at the Iceni Project.
They're good people.
They can help you.
I'm not walking away, Rochelle.
Look at the state of it.
Stop whining, Brian.
I'm not whining Brian What time were you meant to be here? Hang on.
Hi.
I can see you're busy, but this is Rochelle, a friend of Paula's.
Hello, Rochelle.
Rochelle, this is Brian.
Paula mentioned you.
She said you were all right.
Well, we do our best.
Look, I'm a little bit busy.
I'll be back I've been scared he'll kill me next.
I have been so scared he's going to kill me next.
I saw his car.
OK, ermaybe a cup of tea? No, I don't need tea.
I don't want tea.
I need my gear, I need money.
She said you've got money to help me.
It doesn't work like that, Rochelle.
I need money because I'm fucking dying and I am shitting myself.
Do you want me fucking dead, is that it? No! I do not want you fucking dead! I do not want that.
I want to help you.
Do you understand? I want to help you, Rochelle.
Can you let go of my arm, please? I'm sorry.
OK, er, we'll take this outside.
Yes.
I don't mean to be nasty.
I'm not like that, but all I need is money for my gear.
I don't want to go out tonight, but I might.
I will, because I need it.
I'm Paula a few nights ago.
I'm in the same place, only worse.
I begged her not to go, but she had to.
Now it's my turn.
I don't want it to be my turn.
Come into the programme.
I don't want an appointment card! It's not much, but it's enough and it will get you through the night.
I want to see you back here tomorrow morning, please.
OK.
You come into the programme, you accept an appointment that you will keep, and you will save your own life.
Do it for Paula.
OK.
Yeah? Yeah.
Take it.
Word gets out we're giving out money to score Did I have a choice, Patrick? No.
If it meant keeping her off the street, if we had a stash of heroin, we'd give her heroin.
What good's a grocery voucher if you're clucking for drugs? REPORTER: The place where the discoveries were made was today subject to so much forensic examination, the naked bodies were left under tents for most of the day.
The undergrowth was searched inch by inch.
Officers want anything that shows who came here and when.
Nat Cary, the Home Office pathologist, supervised some of the work.
He has now seen five bodies in a week and a half, and the police are all too aware that the killer is still out there.
Useful, Nat? Um, a cautious yes.
I'm hopeful.
REPORTER: This evening, moving slowly away from Levington, the body of a young woman.
There is still strong support for the work that the police are doing.
The people want answers.
They want this killer caught.
Morning.
Thank you.
Cathy's made us food, and lots of it.
Julie's done the same.
I saw the note about Paula Clennell, her taking a bath before going out.
Yeah.
Let's hope that gives us something we can use.
Starting the day we found Anneli Alderton, we've had a checkpoint just here, the road from Ipswich to Nacton Wood, where she was found.
If a guy was driving along here towards Nacton, saw the checkpoint and didn't want to go any further, he'd turn here.
If he was carrying something he wanted to get rid of quickly, he'd head for the nearest accessible woodland, the Old Felixstowe Road.
He'd have to know the area.
Know it well, and know the girls well.
From the days we found Gemma and Tania, the other girls have been telling us they will only go with punters they know, but they keep getting in the killer's car.
Because they know him.
He's a punter.
A friendly face.
Tom Stephens.
What was he doing last night? Nothing.
He had a night in.
We've searched his house, found nothing.
Questioned him under caution, produced nothing much at all.
Why is he bringing attention to himself? Mr Gull! Hello, Mr Gull! Morning.
Good morning.
Still in charge, Mr Gull? Still here.
Cheeky bastard.
REPORTER: More than 2,000 calls from the public, but police working round the clock have still made no arrests in this unprecedented investigation, There are now 150 officers hunting the killer or killers of five women.
'Most crimes like this are solved by tip-offs, the reporting of someone behaving strangely.
' 'The fear is that the killer is enjoying the hunt, the massive attention, and so may strike again.
' Registration check, please, on burgundy Ford Focus, Victor Oscar five three Golf Uniform Hotel.
Let's find out who he's talking to.
I'm going to cry.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, mate.
That's fine.
I should be out there now, watching over them.
Do you feel they need watching over? If I was out there tonight, I could watch over a girl, but I would tell her I can't keep her safe.
The police have shown an interest in you.
Are you worried that you might end up in the frame for the murders? I could get arrested.
That is quite likely.
Let's not say likely, let's say possible.
They might question you, but why would they arrest you? They'd only arrest you if they thought you were guilty of something.
I would have complete opportunity.
The girls, they trusted me so much.
If I had blindfolded them and taken them to the edge of a cliff and said, "Take two steps, but three and you'll go over," they would have taken two steps.
From police profiling, it does look like me.
White male between 25 and 45, knows the area, works strange hours.
I know that I'm innocent.
But I don't have alibis for some of the times.
Actually, I'm not sure I have tight alibis for any of the times.
A Sunday Mirror journalist.
He was with him for over two hours, and on several occasions became distressed, crying, sobbing.
Everything we have on Tom Stephens is circumstantial, right? That's right, but to ignore him would be negligent, a risk.
OK, we'll have to see if we can get hold of the press copy.
Now? I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
'Tonight, the final body is removed.
' 'It's thought this is Annette Nicholls.
' 'The other body removed from this area last night was today named as' 'Paula Clennell, the police confirming her death was murder.
' She was a beautiful baby.
People used to stop me in the street and say so.
I love you, Paula.
I can now confirm that the bodies found at Levington on Tuesday 12th December 2006 are those of missing girls Paula Clennell, aged 24, and Annette Nicholls, aged 29.
Suffolk Police have launched two further murder investigations.
It's a mistake.
Please let it be a mistake.
Please Martin? That's OK.
You wait here.
Nina? Nina! A present.
A top-up, for your phone.
Call me.
Can I buy you a cup of coffee? No, thank you.
I'm meeting a friend.
Come on, let me get you a coffee.
Why? It's a cup of coffee.
I've been here fucking years and you couldn't have cared less.
Does it take five girls to die before you look at me twice? Is that it? You can fuck off.
Shove your coffee up your arse.
Tobacco ain't gonna do it for you, babe.
Please No.
I'm dying here! Yeah, like you give a fuck.
Can't you see I'm dying? Can't you see I don't want to get killed, you selfish, hairy bastard? Come on, you'll be all right! Who the fuck would want to kill you, huh? I mean, apart from me, obviously.
If you cared anything about me, Billy, you wouldn't ask.
You'd be out grafting.
Grafting? Are you What, when I'm like this? And grafting where, exactly? My point is, I'm not sure you even like me, never mind love me.
Babe, look, look.
Babe, come on, you know I care about you.
Babe, you know that.
You know that.
But I know you, see? You're a queen bee.
You can look after yourself.
You're not like the others.
You know? You're clever.
Honey, you're clever.
Listen to me, listen to me, I'll get down my knees, OK, and I will adore you.
I will love you and kiss you head to toe and all those little bits in-between, yeah? Please.
Only you can take this pain away.
Just say yeah.
For me.
Here we go.
Better make a call to JQ if he's going out at this hour.
Start her up.
OK.
RADIO: He's on the move.
Andy? Stewart, Tom Stephens left his house five minutes ago.
Heading where? At the moment, towards town.
But John Quinton's got a permanent line to the Obs team.
Good.
Get a permanent line to John and we'll follow him.
Right.
Call you back.
What is it? Not another girl? No, not another girl.
How are the roads? Much traffic? Just us and him.
We're staying well back.
John, where are they now? He's headed for the town centre.
Nearly there.
An update? He's heading for the red-light area.
We're on London Road.
And he's turning left.
A side street.
He's stopped.
There's a couple of girls out working.
Can you believe it? At the moment, he's just sitting there.
Hang on.
Here we go.
He's moving.
RADIO: Slowly, towards one of the girls.
What the bloody hell are they doing still out there? What's the matter with them? And he's picked up the girl.
She got straight into his car, no messing about.
And he's away.
We are following.
Don't lose him.
We cannot afford to lose him now.
John? Talk us through it.
We are we now, lads? Have left town and heading towards the A14.
He's about 50 yards straight ahead.
Brake lights going on.
He's at the junction now and turning left onto the A14.
There he is, straight ahead.
Speed is 40 mph.
What's up ahead? Nacton Wood.
Past where Anneli Alderton was found.
After that, open countryside.
Two kilometres along A14.
Speed now 48 miles per hour.
He's about 75 yards ahead of us.
I think that's close enough for this time of day, don't you? You're the judge.
Just don't lose him.
Three kilometres along A14.
Clear road.
Where the hell is he going? Let's end it.
John, it's too dangerous to continue.
Stop him now and get the girl out safely.
Stop him on what pretext? Our priority is the safety of the girl.
Stop the car.
SIREN BLARES Do we believe he really wants to protect these women? Watch over them? Do we think he's deluded, perhaps? We can't afford to give him any benefit of doubt.
It's as simple as that.
He's an unquantifiable risk.
You consider him to be a suspect.
Yes.
Yes.
Do we want to arrest or do we continue with the observation? And wait for him to pick up another girl? He's still hanging around the red-light area, the deposition sites.
He's still calling the incident room and even the people at Iceni.
Managing him as a risk is both dangerous and a drain on manpower.
We need to bring him in, eliminate or implicate, once and for all.
How long do you need to make preparations for an arrest? 24 hours at least.
I'd want the interviewing officers clued up and rehearsed.
Monday morning.
Yes.
Always happy to see a face I know.
Why the house? I thought you liked it in the car.
Doing it in the buff is an extra.
Did I say? Go down there.
I'll be a minute.
BANGING Out.
What was that? OUT! Rochelle? All right? I'm back.
Good to see you.
Patrick won't keep you long.
Patrick, if you're giving every tart off the street a hand-out, where's mine? Why aren't I getting help with my gas bill? We're talking about people's lives being at risk.
And do you think that's what they're spending it on? Gas bills? Are you getting the help and support you need, Zoe? They're taking money out of your pocket and giving it straight to a fucking dealer.
Zoe, are you personally getting the help and support you need? Are you happy with the service we're providing? I'll tell you what we're not happy with, and that's the place being full of people who don't belong here! Bloody prostitutes! People who don't belong here? Is that right? That's right.
No, that's fucking wrong! If these girls are serious about changing their lives, then they do belong here just as much as you, because you all want the same thing.
So don't you fucking dare try to dictate who belongs here! I'll say again.
Are you happy with the service we're providing to you, specifically you? Yeah.
Good.
Thank you.
Be with you in a minute, Rochelle.
Police investigating the murders of five women in Suffolk have released CCTV pictures showing one of the victims on the day she was last seen.
Anneli Alderton boarded the 5.
53 train from Harwich on Sunday December 3rd.
The CCTV pictures reveal for the first time what she was wearing when she was last seen.
Frustratingly for the police, she is alone in the carriage.
From here, she vanishes without trace until her naked body is found a week later.
Did anyone else on the train that day see her? Will these pictures jog a vital memory? CHATTERING Stewart, sorry for barging in, but this just can't wait.
Dave Stagg's just called.
There's been a development.
I think we might have just struck gold.
We have a DNA profile, a single DNA profile, obtained not from just one of the girls' bodies, but from all three of them, the same profile.
We have a match.
We have a name.
That's fantastic.
Fantastic.
You're not going to ask who it is? It's a man called Steven Wright.
Steven Wright.
Do we know him? You're sure? One hundred per cent sure, Andy.
His DNA profile comes from a routine sample taken a few years back.
He stole some money from his old employer.
He's our man.
OK, we need to find out everything we can about this guy.
He's in the system.
He has to be.
It's just after seven.
We reconvene here at nine.
That's two hours.
I want everything.
Alan, has there been any progress in the efforts to try to narrow the list of suspects? Moira, we don't even know whether there is a list of suspects.
A couple of days ago, the police said there were 50 to 100 people in whom they were interested.
But a list of people in whom you're interested in for information is not the same as a list of suspects, so I don't get the impression there's any kind of net-tightening here.
Steven Wright, aged 48, drives a blue Ford Mondeo which has been flagged on numerous occasions by our plate readers.
However, he does live in the heart of the red-light district, at number 79 London Road.
He moved in there in the October of this year.
Just two months ago? Works as a fork-lift truck driver in a distribution centre.
London Road? We've a door-to-door going on in London Road.
Right now? Right now.
Call them.
Find out exactly where they are.
Don't spook them, don't give anything away, just find out where they are.
Just two months in the area.
Does he live alone? With his girlfriend, partner, who works shifts.
Paula Clennell's friend Rochelle.
She talked about a blue car.
Danny, it's JQ.
How's it going? 'It's going OK.
It's going fine, sir.
' You're still in London Road? Yeah, we're at number 79, talking to a Mr Steven Wright.
Many houses left? Two, three.
Three, I think.
So you'll be finished when? Hour, hour and a half.
OK, it's just I might have another street for you, that's all.
Sir, I'm due to finish.
Think of the overtime.
Talk later.
They're at number 79, talking to Steven Wright.
Bloody hell.
OK, we need to get him under strict observation.
John, can you do that? We're not going to jump him? No.
I'd like to, but we can't.
We have to do this right.
He's answering questions as part of a door-to-door.
He's not under caution.
We let it run its course.
And we need to prepare.
But a ring of steel, John, strict obs.
Starting right now? Starting right now.
Let's not lose sight of him for a second.
Sure.
We'll need 24 hours to prep the arrest and forensic teams, and I'll need a clean hire car to take him from his home to the holding station.
And the car has to be spotless, no previous police use.
We take no chances.
OK.
The hard work starts with this arrest.
What about Tom Stephens? We go ahead as planned.
He's a suspect until he's eliminated.
