On April 26th 1999, co-presenter Jill Dando was shot dead outside her home in Fulham, London. The show broadcast a reconstruction of her murder the following month; however, it was not until May 2000 that a local man, Barry George, was arrested and charged with her murder. He received a life sentence in July 2001, but after a retrial was acquitted in August 2008. Dando's murder thus remains unsolved, but several popular theories abound, with most experts concluding she was killed by a hitman, possibly from Serbia. Her co-presenter, Nick Ross, has always maintained that he doesn't believe her death had anything to do with her role presenting Crimewatch.
