The popular, charismatic, and famous TV journalist had been shot in the head at point-blank range. At the time of her death, she was a highly respected broadcaster for the BBC, known to millions of viewers around Britain. The brazen murder of someone so high profile in broad daylight outside their own front door shocked and appalled the nation. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Jill Dando. In 2001, two years after Jill's murder, investigators were relieved to announce the case was all wrapped up. They'd charged a man who was later convicted at trial and sentenced to life imprisonment. But six years later, the alleged perpetrator's conviction was overturned on appeal. The second trial in 2008 resulted in the man being acquitted. There were in the beginning and continue to be to this day a number of theories about who murdered Jill Dando.
