Prof Patricia Wiltshire says the case has stayed with her, 22 years on.
A forensic scientist involved with investigations into some of Britain's most notorious crimes has told how the unsolved murder of a mother of three 22 years ago affected her.
She has helped police solve cases including the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, both 10, in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002 and of eight-year-old Sarah Payne near Worthing, West Sussex, in 2000.Ian Huntley was convicted of the murders of Holly and Jessica.Cuddly toys were placed around a picture of Sarah Payne at a memorial service in Guildford Cathedral, Surrey, 24 years ago
But she said there was an "incredible" forensic profile of "somewhere else" - a place that "involved a pond and big honeysuckle".Prof Wiltshire said the pond had been dredged. Prof Wiltshire told Desert Island Discs: "If we had the right artefacts, shoes, car, I could have put him there, perhaps."Prof Wiltshire, who detailed her involvement in a number of investigations in a book, The Natural History of Crime, earlier this year, also discussed her work on the Soham case.
