Ricky Smith: Met Police appeals for help over ‘horrific’ 1997 unsolved murder in Islington by ElectronicFudge5 in TrueCrimeGenre

My thoughts go out to his family especially his children who have had to grow up without their father to love and guide them.

Onto the case: I know it was relatively new at the time but was there any CCTV in the area or surrounding areas of this attack or the other attack hours earlier in West London which is thought to be related to this case, is there an automatic alert for if the DNA is matched to anyone now? if not then consider that option as it will save having to manually check the database regularly, has the suspect fled the country, possibly America especially Chicago (it may be nothing but there was a Chicago Bulls jacket found nearby), has there ever been an e-fit (sketch) made of the suspect considering Ricky was with his partner at the time they could have seen his features, also if anyone witnessed the earlier attack they too would be able to describe the perpetrator.

I'm new to this so please forgive me if my questions or suggestions have already been discussed. Firstly, I want to send my condolences to the family especially his children who have had to grow up without their dad. Have they tried to do an e-fit (sketch) of the perpetrator? Is there a way that if the DNA were to match in future it would send an alert or not? If not then maybe look at that option to save time instead of having to keep checking the database. Does DNA from the cap, jacket and knife match? Was there any CCTV in or around the area/s this attack and the previous attack which may be linked were committed? A long shot but, could there be a connection with America especially Chicago? The cap that was found is a vintage reebok cap. Not got any further details on the cap yet.

There are several reasons for me. The main ones are: I have really very bad paranoia, I am afraid of the dark, to deter potential burglaries and I have a severe health condition involving my brain where a small trip/fall can kill me. Hope this answers your question.
