Ann Heron Background Mary Ann O’Neill was born Ann Heron on March 24, 1946, in Glasgow, Scotland. Ralph Cockburn was her first husband. When she started dating Peter Heron in the 1980s, she moved to England. Peter Heron was already married with three children when he met Ann, but he began having an affair with her. In 1986, he divorced his wife and married Ann. The couple lived together at Aeolian House on the edge of Darlington, County Durham. Peter Heron is the CEO of a haulage company down the street from home. Ann Heron helps out at a local care home part-time as a care assistant. Ann does not want to live in Darlington, and she often thinks about her children from her first marriage, who still live in Scotland. The freestanding Aeolian House has been called a “notable” building because it is easily visible from the busy main road that runs alongside it. It is on the busy A67 road, which is the main route from Teesside Airport to Darlington. Ann said she felt scared and tired of being alone at home. On August 3, 1990, Heron and a friend went shopping in Darlington in the morning and returned at lunchtime. His wife always and during the day comes home for lunch. Ann said she was going to sunbathe in her bikini in the garden all afternoon. It was the hottest day of the year that day in 1990, in the middle of a heat wave. Peter left at 2:00 to go back to work. At 2:30, Ann was talking to a friend on the phone, and she was happy and energetic. At 3:30 p.m., a friend driving the bus saw Ann sunbathing in front of the house in a bikini. He had to move to the front of the house, closer to the road, to get some sun because a nearby tractor was mowing the back garden. This was the last time Ann was seen alive. When Peter Heron got home from work at 6:00, he was still reading his book and smoking a cigarette. His radio was still on. The front door was open, and the family dog was also outside. Heron’s body was found in the living room of the house. Heron was bleeding on the floor and stabbed in the neck. The fact that her bikini bottoms were removed shows that she was killed for sexual reasons. It looks like a Stanley knife or razor blade was used. The murder weapon was not at the crime scene and has not been found. Investigation Several people saw a blue car pull up to Heron’s house, park there, and then speed off down his driveway as he was killed. Investigators told the Crimewatch appeal of his murder in October 1990 that it could have been a blue Astra like the ones above. When the police first investigated the crime, they noticed that there were no signs of a fight inside or outside the house. This suggested that she may have known her killer. This is supported by the fact that the family dog, who was outside when Peter came home, was not heard barking at an intruder or a stranger. At around 16:45, someone who came forward said they saw a blue car, possibly a Vauxhall Astra, parked in front of the house. After that, witnesses said they saw a blue Leyland Sherpa van parked at the end of the driveway. On the side of the van was a trident, and three men were seen inside. [5] At about 17:05, a taxi driver and two women in another car drove by the house and saw a blue car speeding down the driveway away from the house. The car was going so fast that the taxi driver didn’t know if it would stop and pull out in front of him. The car stopped behind him, but it sped up and passed him. It then ran through the nearby roundabout and down Yarm Road towards Darlington. [5] Investigators thought it was the same car because several other people said they saw it parked at the house and speeding down the drive. Some of the witnesses said that the male driver was between 35 and 45 years old, had a tanned skin color, and had short, dark hair. In October 1990, when the Heron murder was reconstructed on Crimewatch, the multiple sightings of the blue car were called “obviously the most interesting of the sightings”. The car is said to be an Astra, but it could also be a Mazda, Toyota, or Vauxhall Cavalier. Police found the owners of 3,500 blue cars, but the car was never found or identified. Although several witnesses claimed to have seen the driver, a photofit of the man was never produced. Durham Constabulary later said “the descriptions of the vehicle and the person driving the vehicle were different and lacked the detail required for a photofit.” Police found no evidence of a robbery or sexual assault. Around 17:00, the police thought Heron was killed. At 18:00, Peter Heron found her body. At 16:15 that day, a witness thought they saw Heron driving near his home with two people they did not know. However, they weren’t sure it was Heron. But the witness was probably wrong, because Ann’s body was found in the same bikini she was wearing when she was found at 3:30 in the afternoon, meaning she had been exposed all afternoon. A week after the murder, it was learned that Peter, who was 55 at the time, had been having an affair with a 32-year-old bartender at the local spa club. This caused some people to think that he might have had a reason to kill Ann. Most homicide victims know who killed them, according to statistics. In 1988, 62% of people killed in England and Wales were killed by someone they knew, and 37% of women killed in the UK were killed by their husband, boyfriend or girlfriend. Only 13% of women killed in England and Wales in 1988 were killed by strangers. Most of the women killed during this period were killed by people they knew. Peter Heron fits two of the most important criteria for a murder suspect: he was married to Ann and he found her body. Peter said he left a meeting at Cleveland Bridge at 4 pm and drove to the village of Croft-on-Tees and Middleton St. George back to his office. Detectives questioned this route as going through Croft was not the most direct or logical way to get from Cleveland Bridge (which is only 400m from Aeolian House). The police felt Peter was missing some time he could not answer between 4pm and 5.50pm (the time period in which the murder took place) (the time period in which the murder took place). Although there were press conferences and a reconstruction by Crimewatch UK, the case went cold in 1991. In December 1992, a woman told police that a man had come into the card shop where she worked in Darlington and bragged about killing Heron. In October 1994, Peter Heron, the police, and a newspaper all received letters from someone claiming to be the killer. The letter to the Northern Echo newspaper began “”Hello, editor! I am the man who killed Ann Heron!” The letter concluded, “Your readers will have a lot to talk about. The signature of the Killer.” Forensic tests were done on the letters to try to find out who wrote them, and handwriting samples were taken to compare with the handwriting of the people suspected in the case. Peter Heron remarried in 1992, two years after the murder. When the press asked him why he remarried, he spoke in defense. Two officers in uniform chose to attend the wedding.
