-Unbeknownst to the people -of Llanfairpwll... | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
-..a murderer was walking -along the village's streets. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-By the following morning... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-..he had killed a widow in her home. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |

-..that an elderly lady -had died in Llanfairpwll. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |

-It was Sunday afternoon. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-Two of us were working -in this office, and an editor. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-A member of the public -contacted us to tell us... | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-..about a heavy police presence -outside a house in Llanfairpwll. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-The caller suggested we investigate -what had happened, so we did. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
-We were informed -that a body had been found. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-There was an unspoken suggestion... | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
-..that this was -a serious and unusual case. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
-Mabel Leyshon. A 90-year-old -pensioner who lived in the house. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
-It became apparent that her death -was neither natural or accidental. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
-She had been murdered. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
-She'd been stabbed countless times. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
-Then, as is the case now... | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-..the murder -of elderly people isn't common... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
-..but when it does happen, -it shocks the local community. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
-The story spread like wildfire -around the village... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-..that a murder had been committed. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-A quiet lady -who kept herself to herself. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-When I would see her, I'd say, -"Hello, how are you?" That's all. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
-We didn't know -who could do such a thing... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-..and why would they do it. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-An elderly lady, 90 years old... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
-..murdered in her home. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-Who would do such a thing? | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-I worked on the case -from the very first day. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
-At the time, I lived in the village. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-It was apparent that it affected -the whole community. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-You didn't see people -walking along the streets anymore. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-The community was gripped with fear -at the time. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-The community of Llanfairpwll -was in shock. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-The elderly -refused to leave their homes... | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-..residents locked their doors. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-There was genuine fear that -the murderer would strike again. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
-After a forensic investigation... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-..chilling details about the murder -were released. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-The injuries are probably -the worst I've seen in my career. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
-It's very important -we catch this person... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-..as soon as we possibly can. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-The murderer had used a knife -to stab her 22 times... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
-..before opening her chest -and removing her heart. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-We discovered -that her heart had been removed. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-It had been wrapped in newspaper, -placed on a plate... | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
-..and blood had been poured -into a saucepan. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
-When we discovered the imprint -of a lip on the saucepan... | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-..that sent a chill -through the team. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
-What were we dealing with? -Who are we dealing with? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-Has someone -tried to drink her blood? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-The police started searching -for a person... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-..who was interested -in the occult or vampirism. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-As detectives at the time... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
-..we didn't believe -in vampires, Dracula. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
-It was pure fiction, -films we'd watched as children. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
-For some people, and when -we investigated it further... | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-..many people believed -these things were a reality. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-The murderer placed two pokers -at her feet... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-..to make the shape of a cross. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
-A candlestick had been placed -on the carpet and the mantelpiece. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-I took a phone call from someone who -wasn't close to the investigation... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
-..but did know some of the details. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-He told me that the devil -had visited Llanfairpwll that day. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-It was so horrific, -it was unbelievable. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-Nothing of this kind had ever -happened in the United kingdom. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-We contacted the FBI. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
-From their database -of thousands of murders... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-..there wasn't one in 200l -where the heart had been removed. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
-Answers were needed -as soon as possible. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-This police video showed how the -murderer had broken into the house. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:29 | |
-There were key forensic clues -inside and outside the house. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
-On the way out... | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
-..he'd left droplets of sweat, -or something similar... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
-..in Mabel Leyshon's blood on the -windowsill as you left the house. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:56 | |
-Shoe prints were also discovered. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
-One was very evident -on the patio stones... | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-..as you entered -the rear of the property. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
-Over time, the footprint became -more apparent on the patio stones... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
-..as moss grew on the surface... | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-..to reveal a clearer pattern -of the shoe. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-It matched the footprint found -on broken glass in the house... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
-..where the murderer had stood. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
-The investigation centred -on identifying the type of shoe... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
-..and who had worn the shoe. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-If detectives could find the shoe... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-..they were hopeful of finding -the murderer. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-There was a database -relating to footwear... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-..so we consulted the database, -we travelled across North Wales... | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
-..and visited every shoe shop. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-Whoever had worn that shoe... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-..was more than likely the murderer. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-We had to track down the murderer... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-..and find the murderer -as soon as possible. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
-There was an underlying feeling... | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-..that the murderer -could strike again in the village. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |

-In the case -of Mabel Leyshon's murder... | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-..the strongest piece of evidence... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-..was the murderer's shoe prints. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-But what kind of shoe was it -and who wore it? | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-I'm on my way -to a forensics laboratory... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-..that has helped British police -to solve criminal cases. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-Forensic techniques -are constantly evolving. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
-From fingerprints to -the smallest fibres on our clothes. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-It's becoming harder for criminals -to avoid leaving prints. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-They're going to show me... | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-..how they gather and -analyse evidence from shoe prints. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-What I'll get you to do -once you've put your shoes on... | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
-..is to walk as you would -normally do on the pieces of paper. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
-Just to demonstrate a footwear -which we can actually get across. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
-That's fine. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-Just imagine -you're walking towards a door... | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
-..to make your dramatic escape. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-If you can actually look here... | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
-..you can see -what you've actually left. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-Even on here. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-You may not -be able to see it clearly... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-..but there's -your footwear impression. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-If we take one of your marks... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-If you want to lift it -from a piece of paper... | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-..I'll lay the gel lift -on top of it. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
-I'll have a look to see -if it's lifted. It may be too soon. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
-We'll see what we get. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
-Lo and behold, this is the reason -why we use black gelatine lifts. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-From an unclear mark -on a white piece of paper... | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
-..we get something here... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
-..which shows -a great deal of detail. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
-That's a very clear mark. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-That's a very clear mark. - -You can actually see the wear. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-We can see more of -this textured information here... | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-..from where the shoe's new. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-Once you wear it, -this fine stippling area... | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-..starts to wear away. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
-Is there a database where you can -see what kind of a shoe it'd be? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
-Yes, there is. -The police hold the main database. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-We've a selection of patterns, far -more commonly occurring ones too... | 0:12:58 | 0:13:03 | |
-..which we use -to actually look at it. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
-What we'll do now is show how -we actually photograph the image. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
-This is the black gel lift -we had previously. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
-We illuminate it. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-If you wouldn't mind -turning off the light. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
-So if I just click 'shoot' -on here... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-..the image will load up. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
-There's your shoe mark. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
-In the case of Mabel Leyshon's -murder on Anglesey... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
-..shoe prints were found -inside and outside the house. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-Detectives strongly believed -they were the murderer's prints. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
-Though the pattern was clear... | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
-..finding the correct shoe -proved difficult. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
-We happened to be in Cheshire Oaks -around Christmas time. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:34 | |
-We went into a shop and found -the same pattern on the sole. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
-It was the only shoe left, -so we bought it. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-It was a Levi's brand of shoe. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-There's an element of luck -with everything... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
-..but you have to make your own luck -too within your investigation. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-A month after the murder... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-..detectives knew -the murderer wore Levi's shoes. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-However, without a name, -this evidence was of little use. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-Police made -appeals for information... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
-..in the hope -of gathering more evidence... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
-..that would lead them -to the murderer. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-One significant call -was made to the police. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
-A boy had ben acting oddly -in a party two months earlier. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
-He asked a student, -who was at the party with him... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-..to bite him on the neck, believing -he would turn into a vampire... | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-..if she drank his blood. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
-This boy was called Matthew Hardman. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-Matthew Hardman -was a 17-year-old youth. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
-He lived in Llanfairpwll. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
-He was a former pupil of -Ysgol David Hughes, Menai Bridge. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-He was known as a quiet boy. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
-He was an art student -at Coleg Menai, Bangor. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-He'd already told a policeman -he didn't know Mabel Leyshon. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-In January, detectives -went to question him again. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-They were told -he did a paper round... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-..and delivered a newspaper -to Mabel Leyshon's home. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-He lied when he said -he didn't know her. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-He said he hadn't delivered -a newspaper to her in a long time. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:36 | |
-When I questioned his mother... | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
-..she said he'd only recently -given up his paper round. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
-We entered Matthew's bedroom... | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-..and I immediately spotted -a pair of Levi's shoes... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-..under the table. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
-When I saw them, -I couldn't concentrate. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-The hairs -on the back of my neck stood up. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-My colleague and I tried -to grab them at the same time... | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
-..because we were so worked up. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
-We asked him if we could take the -shoes and he said that was fine. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
-So we took the shoes from there. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
-I still remember leaving the house -and saying to my colleague... | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
-.."This is the boy -we're looking for." | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-They arrested Matthew Hardman -and interviewed him again... | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
-..while the forensic team searched -his home and bedroom thoroughly. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
-It was obvious... | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
-..that he was telling us lies -in the interviews. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
-He lied about his movements... | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
-..on the weekend of the murder. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
-So we interrogated him -about his story. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-We discovered he was lying. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-We found a knife in his coat pocket. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-We discovered Mabel's blood -on his knife. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
-Matthew Hardman was -still walking around Llanfairpwll... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
-..with the knife he used -to kill Mabel. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
-He was a very dangerous youth. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-Hardman's DNA matched the DNA on the -windowsill in Mabel Leyshon's home. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:31 | |
-In August 2002... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-..he stood trial -at Mold Crown Court. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-He was found guilty of murder... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
