Does killer Tobin hold key to 30-year mystery of missing teen?

- By Abbi Garton

A TV detective has claimed Scots serial killer Peter Tobin could be behind the 30-year mystery of a missing teenager.

Louise Kay vanished in 19 , and now ex-policeman turned cold case investigat­or Mark Williams-Thomas wants authoritie­s in Brighton to let him dig up a garden where he believes Tobin, pictured below, could have buried her.

At the time of the 1 -year-old’s disappeara­nce, Tobin was working as a hotel handyman in Eastbourne, East Sussex – a mile from where she was last seen.

Tobin is serving life for killing Angelika Kluk, 23, Vicky Hamilton, 15, and 1 -yearold Dinah McNicol.

Miss Kay was last seen dropping off a friend after a night out in Eastbourne.

Neither the teenager nor the car was seen again.

But Mr WilliamsTh­omas revealed he has found an address of 71-year-old Tobin’s that has not been forensical­ly searched by police, and may hold vital clues.

He said: ‘I am absolutely certain and I have no doubt that Tobin is the man responsibl­e for Louise Kay’s disappeara­nce.’

The investigat­or hopes the pressure from the documentar­y, and Louise’s family, will make local authoritie­s and police reconsider his request.

Miss Kay’s sister, Nicola Stork, 52, tells Mr Williams-Thomas in the show: ‘I have such strong feelings that Peter Tobin is connected to Louise’s disappeara­nce. I just want to know where she is. If there are remains found then we can bury her and she has the respect she deserves.’ The Investigat­or: A British Crime Story, is on ITV at 9pm on Thursday.
