Murder victim's family blame cops for destroying evidence that could be linked to Peter Tobin

The body of 22-year-old Jessie Earl was found in undergrowth at Beachy Head near Eastbourne, East Sussex, in 1989, nine years after she disappeared from her bedsit in the resort.

A 1989 inquest into her death recorded an open verdict but her parents John and Valerie Earl spent years trying to overturn its finding, believing their daughter was murdered.
