The remains of pregnant Debbie Griggs, who was murdered by her Andrew Griggs more than 20 years ago, have been found during the excavation of a garden in St. Leonards, Dorset. In May 1999, Ms Griggs was 34 and pregnant when she was reported missing from her home in Deal by her husband Andrew Griggs in May 1999. He denied being responsible for her disappearance but was found guilty of murder and jailed for life in October 2019.
This had come following a review by cold case detectives from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Kimber of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said: “It is now more than 20 years since Debbie Griggs was murdered by her husband but we have never given up hope of one day finding her remains and giving her loved ones some closure.
“Andrew Griggs denied being responsible for his wife’s disappearance but this discovery is further proof that he was lying all along, causing even greater anguish for everyone who knew and loved Debbie.
“Whilst they continue to mourn her tragic loss to this day, I hope they can take some comfort in the knowledge that she can now be laid to rest.
“We will continue to keep Debbie’s family updated on the progress of our ongoing enquiries and provide support to them at this difficult time.”
