In July 1976 Carol Ann Park went missing from the family home. In August 1997 her body was found by divers on the bed of Coniston Water in the Lake District and Gordon Park was arrested for her murder. The charges were dropped in January 1998 due to "insufficient evidence". Gordon Park was arrested again in January 2004 on the same charge, and was brought to trial at Manchester Crown Court in November 2004. After a lengthy and complex trial he was convicted of her murder, and is now serving a 15 year life sentence.

The family and friends of Gordon Park (many of whom were friends of Carol Park) believe he is innocent of this charge and believe he was not involved in any aspect of Carol Park's terrible fate. The evidence is so poor that it could match any number of people. There is no evidence linking Gordon Park to this crime. It seems he was convicted using guesswork and we believe the burden of proof has not been discharged in this case.

This site will eventually show all details of the circumstances surrounding Carol Park's disappearance, the arrest of Gordon Park, the police investigation, and the evidence presented during the trial.

We will fight for justice for as long as is necessary.
