WARR, JASON: Trial & Error: Jason Warr & His Secret, TV -
If the case of Jason Warr is still something of a puzzle, yet some of the pieces fit but don’t quite make sense, there’s probably a good reason. Could a not very bright teenager have plotted a crime as elaborate as an Inspector Morse mystery? Would he have gone off to commit it on a child’s dayglo bicycle? How did he smash a man’s face to pulp yet not get a speck of blood on him? And how come the person with the best alibi in the case is the victim? Why was Jason Warr charged with murder when the victim’s widow was the prime suspect? Trial & Error: Jason Warr & His Secret, Channel 5 1995
1992 Bedfordshire: A murder more suited to the brutal vendettas of urban gangland than to the home counties. The murder of Paul Newman is one of the most savage Trial & Error has ever investigated. ibid.
That means he couldn’t have been killed by Jason Warr. ibid.

In September 1979 the tranquil beauty of the Oregon wilderness was shattered by the sound of gunfire. Crime Stories: The Wilderness Murders
The police were investigating the murder of Ricky Dale Hemphill ... and the disappearance of his girlfriend Charla Thompson. ibid.
Portland – Cold-case detectives in Portland have solved a 1976 murder with fingernail scrapings collected in the oldest homicide case to be closed in Oregon using DNA evidence.
Detectives say the man who strangled 80-year-old Rosa Cinnamon in Portland died in prison, where he was serving time for two other killings.
Edward Delon Warren was sentenced to life for the 1979 murders of Ricky Hemphill and Charla Thompson in Gold Beach. Warren was 49 when he died in 2003.
The next year, a Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office investigator reopened the Cinnamon case while re-examining evidence and files for the cold-case unit.
At a news conference Tuesday, the investigator, Robbie Thompson, said Portland cold-case detectives typically go to the police property room to evaluate evidence and determine whether it is in good enough condition to be sent to the crime lab for analysis.
In this case, she said, the fingernail scrapings were dry and untouched, leaving them well-preserved for more than 30 years. The Seattle Times online article 29th April 2009
