Sandra Court, a 26-year-old insurance clerk from Bournemouth, was preparing to start a new life as a nanny in Majorca. On May 2, 1986, she attended a farewell party before heading to Steppe’s nightclub. Later that night, she took a taxi to her sister’s house but was last seen outside, waiting. By morning, her strangled body was discovered in a water-filled ditch near Sopley.

Her belongings were found scattered across various locations, suggesting a deliberate attempt to mislead investigators. Despite theories ranging from a crime of passion to the involvement of convicted killer John Cannan, no concrete evidence linked anyone to her murder. An anonymous letter and a Crimewatch call claimed her death was accidental, but the case remains unsolved. Decades later, Sandra’s killer is still unknown, and the mystery endures.

Join Brett Orchard for another chilling episode of Sunday Night Mystery as we explore the haunting questions behind the murder of Sandra Court.
