11. The Murders of Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth

During the mid-1980s in Leicestershire, England, teenage girls were being targeted by an assailant who escalated from flashing to kidnapping to sexual assault and then to murder. After two girls, Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth, were each found deceased 3 years apart, new scientific advancements made their way into the field of forensics. These new forensic methodologies allowed for the identification of the perpetrator and afforded the families of these young women the opportunity to seek justice.
