A testament to what a families determination and Police investigative skills can achieve in bringing justice to these two innocent young girls. – Superintendent Adam Hibbert, former head of Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team

Babes in the Wood should be required reading for all budding detectives. – Former DI Malcolm Bacon, investigating officer who saw Bishop jailed for life in 1990
