Joanna Clare "Jo" Yeates (19 April 1985 – 17 December 2010) was a landscape architect from Hampshire, England, who went missing on 17 December 2010 in Bristol after an evening out with colleagues. Following a highly publicised appeal for information on her whereabouts and police enquiries, her body was discovered on 25 December 2010 in Failand, North Somerset; post-mortem analysis determined that she had died from strangulation.

The murder inquiry, named "Operation Braid", became one of the largest police investigations in the Bristol area. The case dominated news coverage in the United Kingdom as Yeates' family sought assistance from the public through social network services and press conferences. Rewards totalling £60,000 were offered for information leading to those responsible for Yeates' death. The police initially suspected Yeates' landlord, who lived in the same building, and arrested him, but soon released him on bail.

Vincent Tabak, a 32-year-old Dutch engineer and neighbour of Yeates, was arrested on 20 January 2011. Media attention at the time centred on the filming of a re-enactment of her disappearance for the BBC's programme, Crimewatch. After two days of questioning, he was charged on 22 January 2011 with Yeates' murder. On 5 May 2011, Tabak pleaded guilty to Yeates's manslaughter, but denied murdering her. On 20 September he appeared at Bristol Crown Court for a pre-trial hearing, attending in person having previously appeared from prison via videolink. His trial started on 4 October 2011 and he was found guilty of murder on 28 October 2011. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a recommendation he serve at least 20 years.

The nature in which some aspects of the case were reported by the British media led to the instigation of legal proceedings against several newspapers. Libel action was brought against eight publications which agreed to pay Yeates' landlord substantial damages over their coverage of his arrest. The Daily Mirror and The Sun were found guilty of contempt of court for reporting information that could prejudice a trial. The prosecutions added weight to proposed legislation being discussed in Parliament by MP Anna Soubry to prohibit the naming of suspects prior to the formal filing of charges. She withdrew the proposal on 4 February after encountering opposition from the government. Following Yeates' death a memorial service was held for her at the local parish church in the Bristol suburb where she lived, while her funeral took place near the family home in Hampshire. Several memorials were planned in her memory, including one in a garden she had been designing for a new hospital in Bristol.

Background and disappearance

Joanna Clare Yeates was born on 19 April 1985 to David and Teresa Yeates in Hampshire, England.[1] She was privately educated at Embley Park near Romsey. Yeates studied for her A-levels at Peter Symonds College and graduated with a degree in landscape architecture from Writtle College.[6] She received her Master's degree in landscape architecture at University of Gloucestershire.[7]

In December 2008, Yeates met then-25-year-old fellow landscape architect Greg Reardon,[8] at the firm Hyland Edgar Driver in Winchester. The couple moved in together in 2009 and settled in Clifton, Bristol, when the company relocated to that area.[2] Yeates later moved jobs to work at the Building Design Partnership in Bristol.[9]

At approximately 8.00 pm on 19 December 2010, Reardon returned home from a weekend visit to Sheffield to find Yeates absent from their flat on Canynge Road, Clifton. Reardon had been trying to contact her by phone and text, but did not find it "completely out of character" that she did not respond. While awaiting Yeates' return, Reardon found that her personal items were at the flat and that their cat appeared to have been neglected.[11][12] After he called her again, her mobile phone rang from a pocket of her coat at the flat.[13] Around midnight, Reardon contacted the police and then Yeates' parents to report her missing.[11]

Investigators determined that Yeates had spent the evening of 17 December 2010 with colleagues at the Bristol Ram pub on Park Street, leaving around 8.00 pm to begin the 20-minute walk home.[10][14] She reportedly told friends and colleagues that she was looking forward to spending the weekend alone; she planned to spend her time baking and shopping for Christmas.[6] Yeates was spotted on closed-circuit television (CCTV) at around 8.10 pm leaving a Waitrose supermarket without purchasing anything.[11] She phoned her best friend, Rebecca Scott, at 8.30 pm to arrange a meeting on Christmas Eve.[15] The last known footage of Yeates recorded her buying a pizza from a Tesco Express that evening at around 8.40 pm.[16] She had also picked up two small bottles of cider at a Bargain Booze nearby.[4]

Search, public appeal, and discovery of body

Reardon and Yeates' friends set up a website and used social network services to help look for her.[11][9] On 21 December 2010, Yeates' parents and Reardon made a public appeal through a police press conference for her safe return.[17] In another press conference broadcast live on 23 December 2010 via Sky News and BBC News, Yeates' father David commented on her disappearance: "I think she was abducted after getting home to her flat ... I have no idea of the circumstances of the abduction because of what was left behind ... I feel sure she would not have gone out by herself leaving all these things behind and she was taken away somewhere".[18] Her keys, phone, purse and coat were left behind at her flat.[19] Detectives retrieved a receipt for a pizza, but found no sign of the pizza itself nor its packaging.[20] Both bottles of cider were found in the flat, one of them partially consumed.[4] As there was no evidence of forced entry or a struggle,[19] investigators began to pursue the scenario that Yeates may have known her abductor.[20]

Bristol
Failand
Yeates' body was found in Failand, eight days after she was last seen alive in Bristol.[15]

On 25 December 2010, a fully clothed body was found in the snow by a couple walking their dogs along Longwood Lane near a golf course and next to the entrance of a quarry in Failand, approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) from her home.[4][15][21] The body was identified by police as that of Yeates.[3] Reardon and the Yeates family visited the site of the discovery on 27 December 2010.[10] David Yeates said that the family "had been told to prepare for the worst" and expressed relief that his daughter's body had been recovered.[22] Grief counselling was offered to Yeates' co-workers to help them cope with her death.[23] Funeral arrangements were delayed as investigators wished to retain the body "for a while".[15] The pathologist Dr Nat Carey consented to the release of the body of the deceased on 31 January 2011.[24]

Investigation

The investigation, called "Operation Braid",[25] comprised 80 detectives and civilian staff under the direction of Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones. It became one of the largest police operations in the history of the Avon & Somerset Constabulary.[26] Jones urged the public to come forward with any information to help catch the killer, especially from potential witnesses who were in the vicinity of Longwood Lane in Failand during Yeates' disappearance.[23] He stated that the investigation was seeking the driver of a "light-coloured 4x4 vehicle" for questioning.[27]

Jones said that officers had been "inundated with thousands of calls" and were "exhausting every lead and avenue that we are provided with."[28] Police were examining over 100 hours of surveillance footage along with 293 tonnes (293,000 kg) of rubbish seized from the area around Yeates' flat.[29] Refuse collection had been suspended in that part of Clifton since 23 December 2010.[30] Crime Stoppers offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her murderer,[31] while The Sun offered £50,000.[32] Authorities advised residents to take precautions and warned local women not to walk alone after dark.[33] Speaking on 29 December about the murder investigation Yeates' father said, "I fear that whoever has done this will never hand themselves in, but we live in hope that the police will catch who is responsible."[15]

Post-mortem and initial enquiries

Detectives from the Avon and Somerset Constabulary immediately treated Yeates' death as "suspicious",[34] and investigated similarities with the unsolved cases of Glenis Carruthers, Melanie Hall and Claudia Lawrence.[35][36][37][38] The possibility of such connections has since been downplayed by authorities.[28] The police gathered surveillance video from Clifton Suspension Bridge as it is the most direct route across the Avon Gorge between the crime scene and where Yeates was last seen alive.[34] The footage was of poor quality, making it impossible to clearly distinguish individuals or car registration numbers.[39] Investigators were aware that the perpetrator could have used an alternative bridge across the River Avon less than a mile to the south to avoid CCTV coverage.[40][41]

A post-mortem examination began on 26 December 2010, though results were delayed due to the frozen condition of the body.[42] Police initially thought it possible that Yeates froze to death in the winter outdoors because her body showed no visible signs of injury.[43] Investigators announced on 28 December 2010 that the case had become a murder inquiry as the coroner determined that Yeates had died by strangulation.[44] The post-mortem indicated that she had died "several days before being discovered" on 25 December 2010.[45] The examination also confirmed that Yeates did not eat the pizza she had purchased.[46] Detective Chief Inspector Jones stated that the investigation found "no evidence to suggest that Joanna was sexually assaulted".[27] The police searched Reardon's laptop computer and mobile phone as part of standard procedure.[45] Reardon was ruled out as a suspect and treated as a witness.[44]

A young woman attending a party at a neighbouring home on Canynge Road on the night of Yeates' disappearance recalled hearing two loud screams shortly after 9.00 pm coming from the direction of Yeates' flat.[47] Another neighbour who lived behind Yeates' home said that he heard a high-pitched woman's voice scream "Help me".[48] Officers removed the front door to Yeates' flat to check for clothing fibres and DNA evidence.[31][49] Investigators were examining the possibility that the perpetrator had entered flat before Yeates returned home.[50]

Further enquiries

On 4 January 2011, a clinical forensic psychologist, who had previously been involved as a criminal profiler in other high profile murder cases, joined the investigation to help narrow down the number of potential suspects. Senior officers from the investigation had asked for assistance from the National Policing Improvement Agency, which provides expertise for difficult cases.[51] Jones stated that his officers were checking through 1,300 tips and pieces of information from the public and had established over 1,000 lines of inquiry, 239 of them considered "high priority".[26][52] Jones said, "I can assure you, we are determined to solve this crime and bring Jo's killers to justice. No stone will be left unturned."[52]

On 5 January 2011, Detective Chief Inspector Jones announced that Yeates was missing one of her socks when she was found dead and it was not found at the crime scene nor in her home. Jones stated that the sock was a long, ski-style size five.[53] Psychologist Glenn Wilson, who was not associated with the police investigation, commented that the killer might have used the sock to strangle Yeates or kept it as a trophy.[54] Hours after the press conference, an elderly man turned in a dark sock for police evidence.[55] The dark sock, however, was not believed to match the one sought by investigators.[56] Another piece of evidence that police were investigating was a pizza label with a note mentioning Yeates that was received by the Bristol Ram pub on 27 December 2010, after her body was found.[57] Investigators determined the note to be a hoax as the label was not from Tesco, and stated, "We take any reports of information in relation to this inquiry seriously."[58]

Police launched a national advertising campaign to appeal for witnesses through Facebook,[59] The site, established on 4 January, had been viewed nearly 250,000 by the following day,[60] while CCTV footage of Yeates had been viewed 120,000 times on YouTube by 5 January.[54] The Sun offered a £50,000 reward for "a longed-for breakthrough".[61]

On 9 January 2011, Bristol East MP Kerry McCarthy offered to endorse the idea of a public DNA screening process if the police found it useful. The Avon and Somerset Constabulary had conducted mass DNA screening during the 1995 investigation into the disappearance of then-18-year-old Louise Smith. McCarthy suggested that the screening process should be extended beyond Clifton to the wider Bristol area.[62][63] Saliva that had been found on Yeates' body was tested for a potential DNA profile.[64] Detectives arranged to interview up to 20 out of the 924 registered sex offenders living within their jurisdiction.[65]

Arrests and reconstruction of crime

On 30 December 2010, Yeates' landlord, Christopher Jefferies, who lived in the same building, was arrested shortly after 7.00 am on suspicion of Yeates' murder and was taken to a local police station for questioning while forensic investigators inspected his flat.[66] Investigators were granted a 12-hour extension on 31 December for additional questioning,[67] and released him on bail the following day.[68] On release he retained the legal services of Stokoe Partnership to assist in clearing his name.[69] On 4 March 2011, police released him from bail and stated he was no longer a suspect.[70][71] He was paid a "substantial" undisclosed sum in libel damages by eight tabloid newspapers in July 2011 after over 40 defamatory articles were published following his arrest.[72]

In January 2011, a dramatic reconstruction of the case was filmed on location in Bristol for broadcast in the 26 January edition of Crimewatch.[46] A firm that had been involved in the production of the Harry Potter films was contracted to reproduce the snowy conditions at the time of Yeates' disappearance.[73] Within 24 hours of news coverage about the production on 18 January, over 300 people contacted the police.[74] A breakthrough led investigators to believe that Yeates' body may have been transported in a large holdall or suitcase.[75]

On the morning of 20 January, the Avon and Somerset Constabulary arrested a 32-year-old man,[76] who was detained at an undisclosed location.[76] The authorities declined to reveal additional details while the suspect was being interrogated due to concerns over past media coverage.[77] The arrest reportedly followed an anonymous tip from a female caller, hours after a televised appeal by Yeates' parents on Crimewatch.[78] Canynge Road was closed by police while scaffolding was constructed around Yeates' home;[74] officers sealed off the adjacent flat of 32-year-old Dutch engineer Vincent Tabak.[79][80] Investigators also searched the nearby townhouse of a friend, where Tabak was believed to have been staying, about a mile away.[81] Tabak had previously been ruled out as a suspect during an earlier stage of the investigation, and had returned to England from a holiday visit to his family in the Netherlands.[82]

Following Tabak's arrest, the BBC cancelled its plans to air the Yeates re-enactment on Crimewatch.[83] On 31 January, Yeates' family publicly released photos of her that previously had been scheduled to be broadcast on the programme.[84]

Legal proceedings and perpetrator

Murder charge and plea

After questioning during 96 hours of detention, Tabak was charged on 22 January with the murder of Joanna Yeates. He made a brief appearance at Bristol Magistrates' Court on 24 January and was remanded in custody.[86] Tabak, legally represented by Paul Cook, declined to request bail during a hearing the following day. Tabak was moved from Bristol Prison because of fears for his safety.[85] He was placed under suicide watch at Long Lartin Prison near Evesham, where staff were ordered to check on him every 30 minutes throughout the day and night. Tabak's family and friends in the Netherlands started to fundraise for his court defence.[87]

On 5 May 2011, Vincent Tabak pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Yeates, but denied murdering her.[88] Tabak's guilty plea was rejected by the Crown Prosecution Service.[89][88] On 20 September, Tabak appeared in person at a pre-trial hearing at Bristol Crown Court. Appearances at previous hearings had been made via videolink from prison.[90]

Vincent Tabak

Vincent Tabak (born 10 February 1978) was a Dutch engineer,[91] who had lived and worked in the United Kingdom since 2007.[92] The youngest of five siblings,[92] he was raised in Uden, 21 miles (34km) north of Eindhoven.[93] Tabak's childhood next-door neighbour, John Massoeurs, described him after the trial as an intelligent "introverted" loner. Tabak studied at Eindhoven University of Technology from 1996, graduating with an MSc in architecture, building and planning in 2003, then began a PhD in which his thesis was a study of how people use space in office buildings and public areas. The paper was published in 2008.[92][93]

Leaving university in 2007, he moved to the United Kingdom after taking a job at the headquarters of Buro Happold, an engineering consultancy firm in Bath, and settled in a flat in the town. He worked as a "people flow analyst", a role which required him to examine how people move around schools, airports and sports stadiums. While living in Bath he met Tanja Morson – the daughter of a Harvard-educated lawyer – through The Guardian's online dating website Soulmates, and she was later described by the newspaper as his first serious girlfriend. He paid tribute to her in the acknowledgements of his thesis: "I am very happy she entered my life." The couple moved to a flat in Canynge Road, Bristol, in June 2009.[92] Though Joanna Yeates and her partner, Greg Reardon, moved into the neighbouring flat in Canynge Road in the Autumn of 2010, she and Tabak did not meet until the night he killed her.[93]

In the months leading up to Yeates's death, Tabak had researched and contacted escort agencies and viewed violent Internet pornography. The pornography depicted women being bound, gagged, held by the neck and choked, degraded and controlled by men. During the murder investigation, police found images of a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Yeates. In one scene she was shown pulling up a pink top to expose her bra and breasts. When Yeates was discovered, she was wearing a similarly arranged pink top.[92] At Tabak's trial, prosecuting barrister Nigel Lickley QC, argued that the evidence of Tabak's activities should be provided to the jury: "It might shed light on the need to hold a woman for long enough and the need to squeeze hard enough to take her life."[92] Details of Tabak's viewing of pornography were not included in the prosecution's case since the judge believed it did not prove that Tabak had acted with premeditation.[94] It was also disclosed following the trial that images of child pornography had been found on Tabak's laptop.[95]

Trial

The trial of Vincent Tabak started on 4 October 2011.[96] His counsel in the trial was William Clegg QC[97] and the prosecutor was Nigel Lickley QC.[98] Tabak pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but denied murder.[99][100]

The prosecution case was that Yeates had resisted him, and was in great pain, although Tabak denied there was a struggle.[101] The trial was told that Tabak – around 1 foot (0.30 m) taller that Joanna Yeates – had used his height and build to overpower her.[98] During the struggle Joanna Yeates had suffered 43 separate injuries to her head, neck, torso and arms, and it was said that "sufficient force was used" to kill her. Lickley told the court that the struggle was lengthy and that she died slowly.[98] It was said that DNA swabs taken from Yeates' body provided a match with Tabak.[98]

In his defence, Tabak claimed that the killing had not been sexually motivated,[99][100] and told the court that he had killed Yeates while trying to silence her after she screamed when he tried to kiss her. He claimed that Yeates had made a "flirty comment" and invited him to drink with her. He said that after she screamed he held his hands over her mouth and around her neck to silence her.[101]

The jury was sent out to deliberate on 26 October,[102] and returned with a verdict two days later;[101] on 28 October 2011, Tabak was found guilty of Joanna Yeates' murder by a 10 to 2 majority verdict. He was jailed for life, with a tariff term – a recommendation on the minimum amount of time he must serve in prison – of 20 years. While passing sentence at Bristol Crown Court, Mr Justice Field referred to a "sexual element" to the killing.[101]

Media coverage

Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General for England and Wales, stated on 31 December 2010 that he was contemplating taking action under the Contempt of Court Act to remind the media of their obligation not to prejudice a possible future trial.[67] Criminology professor David Wilson commented on the resonance of the murder case with the national news media: "The British public loves a whodunnit ... It's a particularly British thing. We were the first nation to use murder stories to sell newspapers and that culture is more ingrained here than elsewhere."[103] Wilson called Yeates, a white female professional, an "ideal victim" for the media.[103] On 1 January, Yeates' boyfriend Greg Reardon commented on the media coverage surrounding the arrest of Christopher Jefferies: "Jo's life was cut short tragically but the finger-pointing and character assassination by social and news media of as yet innocent men has been shameful."[104]

Following a television news report on 4 January 2011 that criticised the handling of the investigation, ITN reporters were banned by the Avon and Somerset Constabulary from attending a press conference convened to give updates on the murder case.[105] ITN accused the police of attempting "to censor what information we can broadcast" while the constabulary filed a complaint with the Office of Communications, calling the broadcast "unfair, naïve and irresponsible reporting".[106] The police subsequently lifted the sanctions against ITN, but said that they would "not hesitate to adopt similar tactics in the future."[61] Legal action was also considered over a tweet revealing that Tabak had viewed internet pornography showing erotic asphyxiation and bondage.[107] The contempt of court charges were dropped after the tweet was removed.[108]

On 12 May 2011, the High Court of England and Wales granted the Attorney General permission to bring a contempt case against The Sun and the Daily Mirror for the way they had reported on the arrest of Yeates' landlord, Chris Jefferies.[109][110] On 29 July, the Court ruled that both newspapers had been in contempt of court, fining the Daily Mirror £50,000 and The Sun £18,000.[111] On the same day, Jefferies accepted "substantial" damages for defamation from The Sun, the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror, the Daily Record, the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, the Daily Star and The Scotsman in connection their arrest coverage.[112][111]

In an interview following Tabak's conviction, Jefferies commented "It has taken up a whole year virtually of my life, that period of time has meant that everything else that I would normally be doing has been in abeyance." He criticised the government's plans to change the law on legal aid, which he said would prevent people with limited means from taking action against newspapers.[113] He gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry, an inquiry established by Prime Minister David Cameron to investigate the ethics and behaviour of the British media following the News of the World phone hacking affair. Jefferies told the hearing how reporters had "besieged" him after he was questioned by the police. In a statement to the inquiry he said: "It was clear that the tabloid press had decided that I was guilty of Miss Yeates's murder and seemed determined to persuade the public of my guilt. They embarked on a frenzied campaign to blacken my character by publishing a series of very serious allegations about me which were completely untrue."[114]

Legislation

Secretary of State for Justice Kenneth Clarke examined a private member's bill that would impose a six-month sentence on any journalist who names an uncharged suspect.[115] The legislation was introduced into the House of Commons in June 2010, by Anna Soubry of Broxtowe, a former journalist and criminal law barrister.[116] She withdrew the proposal on 4 February 2011 after encountering government opposition.[117] In the 4 February debate, Labour and Conservative MPs criticised the press coverage. Mike Freer, MP, referring to "the landlord in Bristol", said "it was the castigation, the crawling over of that gentleman's background, the questioning of his looks, his eccentricity and his sexuality that were abhorrent and that will follow him around for ever."[118] Soubry replied "What we saw in Bristol was, in effect, a feeding frenzy and vilification. Much of the coverage was not only completely irrelevant, but there was a homophobic tone to it which I found deeply offensive. The slurs on the man were out of order."[118] Robert Flello, MP, said that many members had alluded to "the media's dreadful treatment of her landlord". He continued by criticising the press further: "The shameful way in which that man was portrayed in the press-from 'weird-looking' to 'strange', and with questions raised about his sexuality, his teaching practices and even his hairstyle-should embarrass and shame our media".[119]

Philip Davies, however, countered that the news media functions as a "great control on potential abuse by the police".[120] Bob Satchwell of the Society of Editors said that "this cure is far worse than the disease" and would lead to "speculation during criminal inquiries and great unfairness."[115] Satchwell, citing the example of people who disappeared under Latin American dictators, argued that the ability to name suspects protects them by drawing out new evidence.[115] The Bill failed to complete its second reading, but Crispin Blunt promised the Attorney General would examine the area of concern.[116][121]

Aftermath and memorials

Associate Vicar Dan Clark led a memorial service for Yeates at Christ Church in Clifton on 2 January 2011.[122] Prayers for her were also said at the church on 17 December 2011, the first anniversary of her death, while visitors left tributes and messages of condolence for her family.[123] Her boyfriend, Greg Reardon, started a charity website in Yeates' memory to raise funds on behalf of families of missing people.[124] Building Design Partnership and the local NHS trust plan to commemorate her with a memorial in a garden she had been designing for a new £430 million hospital in Southmead, Bristol.[75]

Other planned memorials include a garden of remembrance at the BDP firm's studio in Bristol, a published anthology of Yeates' work and an annual landscape design prize named after her for students of the University of Gloucestershire. BDP announced it would dedicate a charity cycle ride between its offices on its 50th anniversary, with proceeds to go towards charities selected by her family.[125] Yeates left behind an estate valued at £47,000, which included money set aside to purchase a home with Reardon. As she had not written a will, the sum was inherited by her parents.[126]

Following the release of her body on 31 January 2011,[24] Yeates' family arranged to hold her funeral at St Mark's of Ampfield, Hampshire and have her interred in the churchyard.[127] Yeates was buried on 11 February; approximately 300 people attended the service, which was led by Vicar Peter Gilks.[128]
