Hertfordshire Police - who led the investigation because Tesco’s head office is in Welwyn Garden City - had 100 officers working on it at one point. Even though he is now free, I would not like to meet him. Butafter 10 years, the anger has gone. I wouldn't be frightened ofhim. Richard died in 2001, and Stephen in 2009. She is survived by her daughters, four granddaughters, three grandsons and a great-granddaughter.

I detained him without conflict, but he failed to have any form of ID or provide his name. Our unit rolled him to the nearest station to have him processed. I don't expect he has got any remorse whatsoever. He wasan arrogant man who looked at me like I was a piece of dirt during thetrial. Whitchelo added: "I am trying to lead an honest life. I havemy own computer firm and I'm trying to avoid any publicity." Detective Sergeant Rodney Whitchelo either read the document or independently decided to act on the methodology we had outlined. He threatened a major supermarket chain that he would poison baby food if he was not paid off. Speaking from the house in Hornchurch, Essex, where he lives withhis elderly mother May, Whitchelo is still at a loss to explain why hedid it. "I have tried to answer what possessed me to theauthorities," he said.

In 1993, sentencing the sex offender and murderer Colin Hatch to life imprisonment, she told him, “It is not possible to envisage a time when you could be released safely.” Hatch was later killed in prison by a fellow inmate. We once had a burglar who would cut a little corner of a plate glass window with a glasscutter, pop it out to set off the alarm, walk away, and hide close by. After the cops would respond and inspect the building, seeing that it was secure, they would clear the call. The burglar would then return, break in, and burglarize the store because the alarm would not go off again. This was in the early ’90s and he was doing this all over Manhattan. He told Pearce, who was wearing his trademark Calvin Klein sweater and tinted glasses, that the cost to the public purse in apprehending him after a campaign that had started in December 1994 and finished on his arrest in April 1998 had been enormous. Wright's barrister Andrew Campbell-Tiech QC said: "This type of case arouses understandably a sense of public anger. There is a vulnerability here that an individual has sought to exploit." Your motivations were greed and an insatiable appetite for notoriety,' he told Pearce. 'These offences were particularly serious.' He had showed a cynical disregard for the safety of members of the public and it was only through good fortune that no one had been fatally injured. 'Your plan was to terrorise the public, particularly the staff of Barclays and Sainsbury's.'

Exactly why Pearce embarked on the scheme is unclear. Like Whitchelo, his role model, who is free now, he is planning to write a book about it all. I would condemn anyone who commits such crimes. It isdreadfully upsetting and I am very, very, sorry. My dad is an attorney and had two clients: one who had an old huge Chevy Nova with a very well hidden switch under the dash. He would flip the switch to make the brake lights go off, then go in front of someone and hit the brakes. They won several claims from insurance companies.They would put tape on one of the scanners so when the associate tried to scan their badge, it wouldn’t work. The workers had to input their four-digit ID into the computer to put up the assistance menu. And from there they would cancel the item. Asked how we could be sure he wouldn't commit a similar crime,Whitchelo said: "How can you demonstrate that? Ten years ago Rodney Whitchelo put five babies in hospital afterspiking jars of their food with caustic acid and broken razor blades ina ruthless plan to extort pounds 4million from food giants Heinz andPedigree. Eleanor Hansen ( IMDb) actress – American actress from Indiana, USA, roles in the 30s and early 40s only, mostly uncredited. Disappears after the 40s. UPDATE: Since @RoverAndOut did this research IMDB have added a death of May 27, 2013 (aged 95) in San Diego, California. These guys had code names inspired by their dungeon and dragons’ group like ‘wizard,’ and ‘troll.’.

In the end, he only got away with about 32,000 pounds but his crime changed how bank cards and withdrawals are managed forever.” Pearce had difficulties with his mother, said Mrs Radford, and when his ex-wife became seriously ill, he had not been able to cope. 'He does have a great deal of difficulty in coming to terms with people who are ill,' said Mrs Radford. He had also misunderstood his own diagnosis and had understood that he had only two years to live. Judge Warby said Wright's actions were "repulsive" and involved sending "bloodcurdling" letters and added that rather than plead guilty he had put forward an "absurd and untenable" defence which fell apart under scrutiny. This time was when she got the closest to being caught, a customer was trying to make a return for something she bought, but it wasn’t on her receipt. There were several items at the top of her receipt that she didn’t buy. Removing products from shelves and lost sales revenues went into the millions of dollars. Consumers lost faith in the product and retailers, and shopped out of town to buy alternate products. No one was ever charged or convicted of the poisonings, though one New York resident was convicted of extortion for sending a letter to Johnson & Johnson that took responsibility for the deaths and demanded a financial sum to make them stop. But there wasn’t any evidence tying him to the actual poisoning.

Looking for someone?

Earlier Pearce's counsel, Nadine Radford QC, told the court that her client had suffered a stroke as a result of which his brain had been damaged. This, combined with a heavy consumption of alcohol, had made him behave irrationally. He would buy jars of baby food and spike them before returning themto the shelves. Horrified detectives discovered one jar of Heinzcauliflower baby food contained enough poison to kill 27 children.Whitchelo was finally caught after a nationwide police investigationcosting pounds 3 million in which more than 200 officers watchedcashpoints throughout Britain. He had managed to net just pounds 32,000. There was one guy I stopped in my city, Liberty City. After he was looking to buy illegal substances. I issued him a warning and let him go as it’s pretty common. Then he sang like a bird regarding the people he was trying to buy from. It happened, I was convicted, I have served my time and paidmy dues. I want to carry on with an ordinary life."
