Fresh leads in
Barbara Mayo murder
Nottingham Evening Post Friday, November 06, 2009 Miss Mayo, 24, a student
teacher, was found raped and strangled in woods eight miles north of
Mansfield, in Ault Hucknall, on October 12, 1970. Her death featured in
Unsolved Murders in and Around Derby, which was published last week. Author Scott Lomax said he
had had calls from people with information since his book's release –
and after an article in the Evening Post ahead of its publication. He said
Miss Mayo's case sparked the most calls. "I have had about four people contact me about
Barbara Mayo since a story about the book appeared in the Evening Post,"
said Mr Lomax, best known for his book which campaigned for the release of
Barry George. "One person contacted
me saying he believes his father, now deceased, was the murderer. He has sent
me a lot of information that I will pass to the police. Apparently, his
father had always been a suspect. "Somebody else said
they knew Barbara's mother and just provided general background
information." "I always hoped from
writing the book that people with this sort of information would come
forward," said Mr Lomax, who works as an architect in the city centre. "My book is to raise
interest in these cases and hopefully provide hope that they are not closed,
that the police are still interested." He has also received calls
about other cases covered in the book, including the "Pretty Windows''
murder, where George Wilson was killed at his pub in Sneinton in 1963. Mr Lomax said he has had
calls from all over the world including America and Australia. For information about the
