I'm from Great Yarmouth and I had never heard of Leoni Keating either!
Which news story has always stuck with you?

The articles about a week old baby was found wrapped in a towel, in a box and partially buried in mulch. This was over 10 years ago. They later named that baby Bridget, but they never found the mother. The gardener found the body.
I was still in school back then, and I was heading back home from school that day when the body was found. On my way, I noticed a lot of police cars around that area, and I just knew something bad had happened. One or two, I don't really think it's a big deal, but more usually means something bigger. I didn't live close to school, so I was just walking to catch the train, but I was familiar with those unit blocks where they found the body. You can see them and part of the walkway between the blocks from the trains. Years prior, it was prospective real estate that my parents viewed. One of my friends lived in one of the units too.
I'm not really sure why it stuck, but it's probably because it's about a baby who hadn't lived at all. Always makes me feel sad when I see those unit blocks from the train.

What an interesting read. Wow. Something that stuck with me, as it did with everyone, was Madeline Mccann. I'm 3 years older than her and when it happened, I remember just thinking and trying to understand how anybody could just take someone like that. I was terrified of even going to Tesco.

Jonbenet Ramsey too. I always wondered if her family were involved in her murder

oh god I came here literally to post that about Genie, I teach English as a foreign language so there are lots of articles citing this as an example of the window needed to learn. That whole case is just beyond horrific
I always remember a local news story close to where I live, not sure if it made national news or not. It was around 2013/14 if I remember rightly.
A guy (who I think was a traveller, or at least connected in some way to travellers), was found distressed in the early hours of a morning walking along the a66 in Middlesbrough. He was looking for his penis which had been cut off in an attack (I heard rumours that it was a revenge attack for sleeping with another traveller’s girlfriend but I don’t know how true that part was).
I can’t remember if anyone was caught and charged for it, I’m sure he died a short while later.
The story has always stuck in my mind just because of how bizarre the headline sounded at the time, and how absolutely horrific and life changing the injuries were.

I remember this too. I think his name was Kelvin. He killed himself - poor sod. The Evening Gazette have blood on their hands reporting such personal info about him.
100%
I thought that was the case but I wasn’t sure so didn’t like to say.
It came out that he did it himself.
Police say A66 penis-cutting victim responsible for own injuries
Inquest hears stepfather also believed Kelvin Hewitt was responsible for the 'traumatic injuries' he had when found by the A66 last year

Still terrible though!
i was just going to say the same! He sounded a bit unstable and bizarrely died in a situation where he was in a ligature and covered in blue paint?!It came out that he did it himself.

Very odd. I only found out that he had since died when it came up at work and I googled him. I think he had deep seated issues.
That must be absolutely terrifyingI’ve just been reading about a 14 year old that fell from a ride in Orlando, Florida on Thursday night. He knew he wasn’t secure, he must have been so scared
I know, it just have been horrible.I’ve just been reading about a 14 year old that fell from a ride in Orlando, Florida on Thursday night. He knew he wasn’t secure, he must have been so scared

. Can’t even begin to imagine. Makes no sense how something so preventable could happen.This was local to me too, I hadn't realised he'd died a year later
Oh my giddy aunt - I didn't know this! I stopped reading the rag that is the Gazette around the same time, so that's probably why I didn't know. Poor bloke.
