In November 1968, the quiet coastal town of Watchet in Somerset was rocked by a murder that would haunt its residents for decades.


15-year-old Susan Date was found dead on the beach at Helwell Bay, just a short distance from her home. Her injuries pointed to a brutal and deeply personal attack.


Police quickly focused their investigation on a local man with learning difficulties — but with no physical evidence, a trial that never concluded, and a suspect deemed unfit to stand trial, the case was left unresolved. Decades later, serious questions remain about whether the right person was ever truly identified.


Now, over half a century later, Susan’s family is calling for the case to be reopened. But with time slipping away and the police showing no interest in reopening the case, the chances of justice being served grow increasingly uncertain.
