806:. Many of these images depicted the same young girl, who was later determined to be Carol Morris's five-year-old niece. The background in several images revealed the photographs had been taken inside the flat itself, and an examination of the negatives revealed the images had been taken in August 1968. Although Morris's face was not depicted in any of the images, a distinctive wristwatch visible in several images had been discovered strapped to his ankle the previous day. By photographing Morris's hands and forearms in the same positions as those in the photographs, investigators were able to match several distinctive scars upon his hands with those visible upon the subject interfering with the child in the photographs. 865:

Although on both occasions Morris's defense counsel asked his client to stand before handing the witnesses copies of the colour and black-and-white composites, asking both to compare these composites to Morris as he physically appeared in the courtroom and stating "Neither Identikit picture bears very much resemblance to , does it?", both witnesses disagreed, with Whitehouse concluding his testimony by stating: "I think if I had happened to see Mr. Morris walking down a street on the other side, any time after August 1967, I would have been able to pick him out." Rawlings also stated the individual she had seen on Cannock Chase on the date in question "is the gentleman sitting in the dock."

statements she had initially told investigators about the two having been shopping on the day of Darby's murder and Aulton's attempted abduction, stating that on each of the dates the two had been questioned by policemen as to her husband's movements, she had agreed to corroborate her husband's statements as she "didn't think he the person responsible." Carol then testified her husband had not returned home until the early evening of 19 August 1967 and that his demeanour had been normal on this date and that on the date of Aulton's attempted abduction, her husband had not returned to their flat until the ending credits of the soap opera

339: 651:"We are convinced that the man who murdered Christine Darby is the man in the Identikit picture and that it is a good likeness. His is a face well-known to someone—probably to several people. He is being shielded, either by a relative who knows of his guilt but is prevented from coming forward by misguided loyalty or fear, or by people who recognise a resemblance in an acquaintance but cannot bring themselves to believe that the person could be a child killer ... the innocent—and many innocent men may resemble the picture—have nothing to fear, but no child is safe while the man guilty of the murder of Christine Darby walks free." 898:

what had occurred at his workplace while his boss had been on holiday. Her husband then testified the time his daughter and son-in-law had arrived at his house was "towards the end" of the weekend recital of the nationwide football results, which invariably began at 5 p.m. This testimony was followed by that of Morris's employer, who produced Morris's clocking-off cards used on the date of Darby's murder and Aulton's attempted abduction, both of which revealed he had left his employment with sufficient time to commit both offences and contradicted the accounts he had given to his wife and investigators alike.

When the children pointed the direction to this individual, adding his intended destination was just a short distance up the road, he had feigned confusion and asked Christine to enter the car and show him the way, promising to drive her back to her friends immediately afterwards. The child—whose mother did not own a car—entered the vehicle excitedly. Her friends then observed the vehicle reverse, then drive at speed in the opposite direction to Caldmore Green—the direction of Cannock Chase. 712:" from the front passenger seat of his car, which he had parked at the junction between Bridgeman Street and Queen Street. When the girl approached the vehicle, she noted the passenger seat was covered in newspaper and that no fireworks could be seen, causing her to hesitate; in response, the individual attempted to drag her into his vehicle. The child managed to break free and run away when her would-be abductor observed an 18-year-old woman named Wendy Lane exit a fish and chip shop across the road, causing him to speed away from the scene with his head lowered. 911:. Morris also denied the earlier testimony of Molloy and Forbes, who had testified that when informed Morris was to be arrested for the murder of Christine Darby, he had exclaimed "Oh God. Is it my wife?" Morris alleged in his testimony that, following his arrest, he had been beaten in police interrogations, that police had not offered him an opportunity to participate in an identity parade lineup, and that he had only become taciturn with police following his arrest when informed by Forbes his wife wanted "nothing further to do" with him. 723:, which she recounted to police as being 429 LOP.

This vehicle was registered to a 39-year-old local named Raymond Leslie Morris, who resided in a high-rise block of flats on Green Lane, directly opposite the Walsall police station. 695:

investigations to determine if each individual warranted re-investigation. This initiative took several weeks to complete, with Detective Inspector Patrick Molloy discovering an inherent weakness in the criteria of clearing individuals provided with alibis: although several men had been questioned in relation to the attempted murder and the later murders, only a handful of these individuals actually had cast-iron alibis by which they were eliminated as suspects; records pertaining to many others simply read "Alibied by wife only."

No further action had been taken, although two police officers who had interviewed Morris on 29 February 1968 as part of the renewed house-to-house enquiries had commented upon the questionnaire Morris had filled in for investigators: "Very good likeness to the Identikit; not satisfied with this man due to the unsatisfactory alibi of wife alone."

1445: 33: 519:—and spoke in a notable local accent. One of the children in particular, seven-year-old Nicholas Baldry, remained adamant the man had pronounced Caldmore Green as "Carmer Green" and not "Cold-moor Green", as only a local individual would. This information further reaffirmed the police view they were hunting a local man. As such, police concentrated their manhunt for the perpetrator in and around the Borough of Walsall. 1421: 938:"Mr Forbes, I am addressing you, but in addressing you, I am really addressing you and the many colleagues who have helped bring this dreadful case to its conclusion.
