The murder of Danielle Jones was an English murder case where no body was found and the conviction relied upon forensic authorship analysis of text messages sent on the victim's mobile phone. Danielle Sarah Jones, (16 October 1985 – c. 18 June 2001), was last seen alive on 18 June 2001; her body has never been found. Jones's uncle, Stuart Campbell, a builder, was convicted of abduction and murder on 19 December 2002. Campbell was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder as well as 10 years for abduction. After the trial, controversy arose when it was revealed Campbell had prior convictions for indecent assault on other girls of similar ages. The use of forensic authorship analysis of text messages in the case provoked research into its use in other cases. ==Disappearance and investigation== Jones was last seen near her home in East Tilbury, Essex, on the morning of 18 June 2001, while walking to a bus stop. Suspicion fell on Campbell almost immediately and he was first arrested on 23 June 2001, five days after Jones went missing.〔(Danielle police question uncle ) BBC News〕 Detectives had delayed his arrest while weighing the possibility of endangering Jones's life, on the presumption she was still alive and being held against her will, against the possibility of Campbell leading the police to her. During police interviews Campbell was described as "unco-operative". In one 20-minute interview with the police, Campbell refused to comment on 50 questions. The investigation included several appeals to the public for information, including a reconstruction on the BBC television programme ''Crimewatch''. During the investigation, over 900 police officers and support staff searched over 1500 locations for Jones's body.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murder of Danielle Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
