Billie-Jo Jenkins' murderer has never been found. No attempt has been made by Sussex Police to re-open the investigation. They now have the opportunity to do so.
Mr B
The role of the man identified as Mr B remains crucial. In the course of three trials and two appeals one vital clue was never satisfactorily accounted for by the prosecution. It is essential that Sussex police should continue the quest for justice for Billie-Jo and reinvestigate the involvement of Mr B.
