The first murder was the shooting dead of a 16-year-old boy,
Liam Kelly, in June 2004. The second murder was the blasting to death of
22-year-old mother of three young children, Lucy Hargreaves, in August 2005.
Both these crimes occurred in Liverpool.
Kevin Parle was arrested in connection with Liam's murder,
and disappeared after being bailed.
Peter Bleksley has been hunting Kevin Parle since April
2019. During this time many thousands of people have helped him, and continue
to do so. This has now become the people's hunt for Kevin Parle.
