I will not deny that frequently when I'm just speaking for myself, launch into a story, one of the kind of stories we do, I'll get a sense of, oh, no, not again.

We have to invade somebody's grief and we're going to do this story about the worst thing that ever happened to somebody.

And in the end, the thing that makes me glad we tell the stories are because you get to know the person at the heart of it, which is generally the victim.

And in a way, in a strange way, it's like you are celebrating a person who died a long time ago.

It was a source of puzzlement to a lot of people, I think.

Yeah.

The coroner may well have felt that he would be sticking his neck out a little too far if he went to declaring that it was a homicide.

Right.

Well, you know, there are ways and ways.

It's possible that she could.

She could slide into the passenger seat.

When things are at least remotely possible that, you know, good many in the law enforcement community quite – probably quite rightly are saying, well, we can't quite go with that yet.

Exactly.

Yeah.

And then later on, of course, much, much later on, years and years and years later on, that manner of desk has changed to one that I think everybody was able to sign on to.

And that made all the difference.

Sadly, it came after Regina's mother was dead, and she had campaigned for that for years and years, but didn't survive to see it, which was a real shame.

It cannot be overstated how important it is for families in a cold case to keep at it, to keep pushing.

And it helps the police, too, because they may seem annoyed.

But the fact is they need to have cover sometimes to continue an investigation that otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford.
