A34 murders On 12 January 1966, the bodies of Margaret Reynolds, age 6, and Diana Joy Tift, age 5, were found together in a ditch in Cannock Chase in Staffordshire. Reynolds went missing on her way to school in Aston, Birmingham, on 8 September 1965 and Tift went missing on a short walk to her grandmother's house in Bloxwich on 30 December that year. On 22 August 1967, the sprawled, naked body of seven-year-old Christine Darby was found beneath brushwood only a mile away from where Reynolds and Tift were discovered.
