63. Abducted

On Sunday January 17th 1988, 14 year old Stuart Gough vanished on his newspaper delivery route in the quiet village of Hagley, Worcestershire. A well loved and intelligent teenager, it was soon established that he had been abducted and a national campaign to bring Stuart home was launched; but his body was discovered two weeks later in a beauty spot more than 40 miles away. His killer, 32 year old Victor Miller had directed police to the spot where he had killed the schoolboy in a dramatic confession. Before asking the judge for the longest sentence possible, Miller had given police details of numerous abductions and sexual assaults he was responsible for spanning back 15 years. The case was at the heart if national attention for months, igniting debate on whether capital punishment should be restored.
