References

In a paragraph where two references are being drawn on for the info, you need to cite specific refs, rather than just two at the bottom of the paragraph. Unless the refs concur exactly. Also, sign your name by typing four squiggles. Amandajm (talk) 09:45, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the ref that is cited, you will see that it does concur exactly with the additional info that I included. Could you please explain what you meant when you wrote "Dead=crime scene"? This is not always the case and I cannot see the logic in what you are saying. June Anne could have just wandered off from the ward and fell asleep next to the wall and died of exposure, in that case a body would be present but it would not be a crime scene. The hospital was put into lockdown because she had signs of an assault, not just because she was dead.Markdarrly (talk) 19:54, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TV-Film

There exists a german TV-Production based on this case "Zwei Finger einer Hand" [meaning: Two fingers of a hand] with Ferdy Mayne.

Just saw it once, maybe in the 1970th or 1980th, so I only remember a few things. For search of the film I found very few information, except on imdb.com: - it's from 1975 and directed by Georg Marischka. (source: imdb.com). Made in the style of a "docu-drama" they changed some things. So they made a serial-murder of it and Ferdy Mayne's Inspector is named "Brooks" (source: imdb.com and my memory).

It's very seldom shown in german TV. Maybe not the best film, I was more thrilled by it, than by many action films, always remember the work on the thousands of fingerprints. Now, for search of it on movie websites I found but the towns name and so I came to this site. - Excellent information, horrible details.

I have'nt the nerve to read all the wiki-regulars and to log-in so I post this as a guest. Hope my English is not too bad.
