Two 1975 murders in London remain unsolved

Eve Stratford and Lynne Weedon were murdered in 1975, but their cases remain unsolved. Eve was a 22-year-old model and Playboy bunny. She was found dead in her apartment in Leyton, London, with a slash to her neck. Lynne, a 16-year-old schoolgirl, was killed six months later in Hounslow. Her body was discovered in an alleyway after being attacked. In 2004, police connected the two murders through DNA evidence. Eve's friend, Sheen Doran, recalls that Eve was a vibrant person. She often visited Eve's flat and noted that many Playboy bunnies were aspiring entertainers. Doran described the work as hard but said the girls felt safe because they looked out for each other. Eve had recently appeared on the cover of Mayfair magazine, which the police believe may have drawn the attention of her killer. The day of her murder, she returned home from a meeting with her agent. Neighbors heard voices before a loud thud, and her boyfriend found her dead shortly after. The Metropolitan Police confirmed both cases are still active investigations. Detective Chief Inspector Ali Foxwell is leading the inquiry. The police are careful not to share details while the investigations continue. Doran and other former Playboy bunnies honor Eve's memory by visiting her grave on the anniversary of her death. Doran left Playboy after her friend’s murder, saying it was too much for her to handle. Fifty years later, she still feels the impact of the tragedy.
