✝️ Samantha Class, age 29 – October 25, 1997, Hull, England, United Kingdom 🏴💔
Samantha was mother of three.
It was thought that she had first become involved with prostitution when she was 17-years old but gone on to other things, but to have returned to prostitution at the beginning of 1997. At the time of her murder she was back to the sex trade since about 8 months.
As part of the police investigation the police drew up a list of 1,200 men that were thought to use prostitutes in order to take DNA samples from them. It was said that there were about 100 prostitutes working in the Hull area and that men travelled from as far as Nottingham, Lincoln, York and Scarborough to see them.
Serial sexual abuser Gary Allan was charged with her murder but found not guilty. He was said to have had sex with her on the night she was killed and to have scrapped his car the following day. Less than a year later he was convicted of attacking two other prostitutes and sentenced to five and a half years in 2000.
The murder of Samantha remains unsolved until today.
