Colin said: “When they arrested me and brought Lizzie into the interview room, it was like the last piece of the puzzle had finally been filled and everything made sense. After Mr Pedder's arrest and before the trial DC Blackman was investigated by CIB for an allegedly corrupt relationship with a tabloid journalist.He later moved to Tower Bridge, where he served for more than five years with the famous 'Sweeney' (The Flying Squad) where he says, 'I spent most of my time nicking armed robbers. Mr Pedder told the Guardian he was reluctant to turn on the force he respected and the commissioner who had signed his exemplary service retirement certificate in 1995. As the book desribes, it's material was deemed to be too sensitive, (in parts) that Scotland Yard didn't want it to see the light of day. If the case against Pedder not been thrown out, the court would have heard about the unusual events leading to Mr Pedder's arrest in March 1998, which his lawyers argue was blatant entrapment by CIB.

It also makes you realise how difficult a job the Police have, and, in this particular case, how they took Rachel to their hearts. Colin said: “I was a very shy quiet person and felt I couldn’t attract a woman, so this was exciting.FORMER POLICEMAN KEITH PEDDER WHO WORKED ON THE RACHEL NICKELL MURDER -- WHO APPEARED AT THE OLD BAILEY TODAY ON CORRUPTION CHARGES. He is no longer an approved behavioural investigative analyst on the National Police Improvement Agency.

He really wanted to find the person that did it, but he’s human, we all have egos… The powers-that-be in the Met signed off on a relatively unproven method because they were equally desperate for closure: criminal profiling can give you some focus, but it proved a very dangerous tool here. Then on June 7 this year CIB wrote to Mr Pedder's solicitor and told him they had now investigated but could find nothing of relevance to his client's case.Lizzie James was given early retirement from the Met on the grounds of ill health after the investigation fell apart and granted life anonymity. Although Colin made no admissions of guilt in Rachel’s case, Prof Britton went on to tell officers Colin’s conversations with Lizzie left him satisfied that he must be the killer. Mr Britton, on whom the TV series Cracker is based, rebutted some of the criticisms in his book, The Jigsaw Man, published in 1997. The Guardian has also established that DCI Brian Battye, one of the senior investigating officers in the Pedder case, is under investigation by CIB.
