LIN & MEGAN RUSSELL Mum Lin Russell was walking home down a remote track in 1996 with her young daughters when they were attacked by a man with a hammer. Lin, Megan, six, and their dog died but Josie, nine, survived after being left for dead. A Crimewatch reconstruc­tion helped lead to the killer Michael Stone. JULIE DART, STEPHANIE SLATER Stephanie Slater, 25, was attacked and kept in a coffin for eight days in 1992. After she escaped, police linked her attack to the murder of teenager Julie Dart. Crimewatch broadcast a recording of killer Michael Sams’ voice and his ex-wife instantly recognised it.
