Murder of Helen McCourt
Helen McCourt (29 July 1965 – c. 9 February 1988) was a 22-year-old insurance clerk from Merseyside, England, who disappeared on 9 February 1988 in the town of Billinge, shortly after getting off a bus less than five hundred yards from her home.〔 Her body has never been found. Ian Simms, a local pub landlord, was subsequently charged with and convicted of her murder. The case is a rare example where a murder conviction has been obtained without the presence of a body, and was one of the first in the UK to use DNA fingerprinting.
==Background==
Helen McCourt spoke with her mother by telephone before 4:00 pm on 9 February 1988, shortly before she was due to leave work. She was planning to go out for the evening with her new boyfriend and wanted her tea ready earlier so she had time to wash her hair. Two days before her disappearance, Helen had been involved in a heated argument with a woman in the George and Dragon pub and the landlord Ian Simms (aged 31 at the time – a married man with two small children). After the argument, Simms had banned Helen from the pub and, according to several customers, had used obscene language about her and said how much he "hated" her. He had made sexual advances to her which she had rejected, and he also believed she knew about his affair with his 21-year-old mistress and was gossiping about it. Helen alighted from her bus around 5:30 pm and set off on the short journey home, a route that took her past the pub. Within minutes, a man getting off another bus heard a loud scream coming from the pub that was cut short. Helen McCourt has never been seen or heard from since that night.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mother of murdered Helen McCourt will fight to attend killer's latest parole hearing )〕
