uk13 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 There was a murder in Sheffield and it will be 15yrs in May this year ... Today would be Dawn Shields 34th birthday ... Dawn was my sister and greatly missed ... I find it hard to understand that with all this technology today her murder remains unsolved and that the person who commited this crime has done nothing since ....

PopT Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Fudbeer Somewhere amongst my ruins I have an old pamphet called. 'Allan & Clara or The Murder in the Winnatts' The murder of this couple took place in April 1758, the young couple being robbed and killed and buried in a cave in the winnatt's Pass by 5 assailants. The bodies weren't found for years, but a the skull of Allan was found which provided identification from a deficient front tooth. This find led to the discovery of both skeletons which were buried in Castleton churchyard. The killers were never found. Hope this adds interest to your curiosity.

demigirl123 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sovereign1 Thanks for the detailed info, I was in Greece at the time with my mum, and it was quite distressing as I knew Susan when she was 11/12 and her parents. I can remember she was a very beautiful and what I call a perfect and rounded person and so bright and I was a few years younger and I looked up to her as a role model. Even after all these years I still cannot understand why this happened, what was god's purpose to take someone away who would have had such a wonderful and fufilling life. I just can't get my head around what happened and why Sweet dreams R.I.P Susan xxxxxxxxx and all the best to her parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omalley4241 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) I remember Dawn Sield as I use to hang around with her when I was at school, always think about her when looking at the school photos and speaking to people after 20 years, she always looked after me through school, just wish that I never lost touch with her, Belated wishes to you and your family.

hammer108uk Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 A few years ago I used to drink in a pub in Castleton and vaguely remember a local telling me that a young girl (tourist I think) was murdered and that a very young local lad had been jailed. Its perhaps 20 years ago since the actual murder but to be honest I cannot remember much about what I was told that night and it’s bugged me ever since that I wasn’t listening (or forgot, or just too drunk to remember) and I’ve never found any details about a murder in Castelton on the net I’m just curious as to what the story was - does anyone remember this happening in Castleton? hi i remmber it it was more like 25 years ago as i was staying at an out ward bound centre what over looked the castle n i think she was a local girl n yes it was a locol gent that did it think he was from hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See post #14 on this thread for the full, tragic story of this poor girl's murder by Norman Smith of Castleton. Such a senseless waste of life.
