Title: John 'Babbacombe' Lee website Post by: Adam on February 03, 2006, 01:11:18 PM Blimey!
There is an entire website dedicated to John 'Babbacombe' Lee. An interesting read with some previously unknown snippits of information (he died in 1945 in America, apparently): http://www.murderresearch.com/ Cheers Adam Title: Re: John 'Babbacombe' Lee website Post by: Anna on February 03, 2006, 04:11:54 PM Blimey! Incredible research there. I've just lost an hour of my life...

Title: Re: John 'Babbacombe' Lee website Post by: Anna on February 03, 2006, 04:54:13 PM True, but it's an hour I won't be seeing again...

Do we think he did it, by the way? Title: Re: John 'Babbacombe' Lee website Post by: fat Billy(Bill) on February 03, 2006, 05:32:15 PM I never used to but after reading that lot I think perhaps that he might have.
He seems to have been a bit of a dodgy character Title: Re: John 'Babbacombe' Lee website Post by: Speleologist (Robin) on February 03, 2006, 07:06:26 PM As for John Lee - well the (modern day) jury's out on that one. Does look like he wasn't whiter than white though.

A few hours before returning to this web site, I was discussing the John Lee story to coworkers, that have no clue about the LP/CD and know only a bit about Fairport Convention. If not for me, they wouldn't know they existed. For shame. ??? Anyhoo, I asked them if they knew the story of John, and then proceeded to do a Google Search, to show them what I was talking about. They found the story interesting, I then told them how Fairport had dedicated not only a song, but a whole Album to John "Babbacombe" Lee. I get home from work and see this thread, and go.......... Whoooooaaaaaa! :o [;-) Now, I gotta pull up the murderresearch.com site. Thanks! 8) |
