The Epping Forest Murders | The unsolved cases of Lee Parsons, Terry Gooderham & Maxine Arnold

In the early hours of December the 23rd, 1989, a pair of police officers stumbled across the scene of a brutal double murder in a public car park located within London’s Epping Forest. The victims were a seemingly normal couple in their 30’s that had been dating for several years. It was later revealed the male victim may have had ties to criminal activity. Six months later, a second murder scene was discovered just two miles away. The victim on this occasion was identified as a wealthy north London woman who was found to be a high end escort, with clients that included prominent judges and TV personalities. The subsequent investigations revealed parallels between both crimes; the victims had seemingly been lured from their homes before being shot execution style, with a frustrating lack of evidence left behind by the person or persons responsible. These details led authorities and the media to speculate as to whether the murders were contract killings, possibly carried out by professional hitmen with connections to some of London’s most notorious and feared crime syndicates. But what were the motives behind these killings? And in both cases; have investigators allowed those responsible to slip through their grasp and evade justice? #unsolved #truecrime #truecrimeunsolved #uktruecrime #Epping #Harlow #Essex #London #EppingForest 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:01:15 - Epping Forest 00:01:51 - A murder victim is discovered 00:02:51 - Patricia Lee Parsons 00:04:34 - A murder investigation is launched 00:05:34 - Lee's final movements and the initial investigation 00:14:21 - Over a decade later... 00:16:45 - What to make of Lee's murder? 00:19:02 - The double murder of Terry Gooderham and Maxine Arnold 00:22:18 - Investigators wonder if the crimes are linked 00:24:53 - Exploring links to the Clerkenwell Crime Syndicate 00:26:52 - Reviews of the case and links to the Kray Twins 00:31:33 - Summary 00:33:54 - Outro For further information and case references, please visit: https://thecrimeportal.co.uk/15-patri...
