Crimewatch
UK shows unseen footage in Stephen Hilder appeal
Video
footage of parachutist Stephen Hilder聮s last skydive, his preparations
for the jump and the party at Hibaldstow Airfield on the previous
night will be shown on Crimewatch UK on 91热爆 ONE tonight (Thursday
24 July 2003).
Humberside
Police and Stephen's parents have given the programme access to
the powerful footage, shot shortly before Stephen's death in suspicious
circumstances when his parachute failed to open during a routine
jump earlier this month.
A reconstruction
of the events leading up to Stephen's fatal skydive will also feature
on this month's programme.
And
there will be interviews with senior investigating officer Detective
Superintendent Colin Andrews and Stephen's team-mates who made the
jump with him.
Det
Supt Andrews said: "We were very keen to get this enquiry onto
Crimewatch UK because it has very good results and may just provide
us with the break we need to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding
Stephen's death.
"I
believe that there is somebody out there, more than likely a member
of the skydiving community, who knows exactly what happened to Stephen's
parachute pack and why, and I am confident we will get that information."
