The Man on TV: How a Dartboard Smile Hid a Killer

A smiling face caught on television in spring 1989 sat in an archive for two decades, even though that same face had already killed twice; how could footage broadcast to millions mean nothing until it meant everything? What happened between a dartboard laugh and two bodies hidden under bracken that let a killer walk free for years?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the 1985 double murder at Scoveston Manor through the June 29, 1989 murders of Peter and Gwenda Dixon, and the decades-long trail of missed clues that finally linked a TV recording to a police sketch; what detail finally closed the gap between archive and arrest?
Person: John William Cooper
Date: June 29, 1989
Location: Little Haven coastal path, Pembrokeshire
Event: Murders of Peter and Gwenda Dixon
Case: Scoveston Manor murders of Richard and Helen Thomas (December 22, 1985)
- Cooper won £90,000 and an Austin Princess in a national competition in 1978.
- Peter and Gwenda Dixon were found six days after their disappearance, hidden under hazel branches with bracken replanted over them.
- Cooper used Peter Dixon’s bank card to withdraw roughly £300 in the days after the murders.
- The Thomas double shooting occurred on December 22, 1985; Helen Thomas’s body was burned beyond recognition when Cooper set the house on fire.
- Cooper kept a pair of the victim’s shorts folded in a drawer for more than twenty years.
