In this instalment of Bradford Through The Lens, we look at a horrific crime that took place in the1960s.
This was a missing child case that occurred in 1962 but was not solved until a curious dog unearthed remains in 1988. Stephen Jennings was just three years old when his father reported him missing in the West Yorkshire village of Gomersal, a few miles outside of Bradford

I am a relative of Stephen and I’ve grown up knowing this horrific story. I’d like to thank you guys for telling his story and being so respectful ❤
Thank you.
It had to be told , but it wasn't easy to do 😢
Hi Claire, how are you related to Stephen? He is my uncle so that makes us relatives
It’s very sad, there has been a lot of death and trauma in the family
Hello Claire can I ask how your related to Stephen I'm his brother would love to hear from you
Thank you for remembering Stephen what a horrible thing to do to a harmless baby I cried at this, I am sure he's at peace with our Lord now. 🙏
Thank you so much Riaz and Mark for superb delivery of such a sad story. I was lucky enough to be on location with you guys and you held it together so well, such true professionals. The cemetery scene was particularly difficult :'( RIP Stephen 😭
Thank you so much for being part of it.
Couldn't have made it without you.
Sad indeed, but we have made memories 😢
This was a hard story to cover, and I was fighting against my rising emotions at Stephen's graveside during the final sequence.
William should rot in prison until the end of his life, and then rot in hell for eternity.
👍🏾
You both did an EXCELLENT job covering this story!! I think I would have DEFINITELY lost my cool if I was in your shoes!!
May young Stephen RIP!!🌹💔😥
You did a fantastic job ark 😇😇rest in peace little man 😢
A tragic story movingly told. RIP Stephen

Excellent. This presentation is as good as might be expected from a "professional" presenter.
Thank you
What a heartbreaking story. I'm also rather astonished to first learn about this in 2023!
Rest in Peace Stephen and may truth and justice come to light
🙏
Such a sad tragic heart breaking story r. I. P little angel
Sad story. Rip Stephen. I'm certain he is with God now. Great video as always guys.
Thank you
A sad story... really well handled. So interesting
🙏
Excellent video
Beautifully done. I was eight when Steven died, I lived just the other side of Cleckheaton, and I can still remember being very frightened, because no one was arrested, and rumours being what they are, many believed that a murderer walked among us all. Surprisingly, he did, for years. RIEP Steven
Thank you for watching.
RIP Steven.
Amen.
great video like always. Very interesting
👍🏾
We live in bierely and have family in bowling. So we walk thru quite often. We r gna go 2nyt and pay r respects. R.i.p steven xxx

I lived in Gomersal on Spen lane in the early 70s, My wife and I must have walked past poor little Stevens remains lots of times.
I
Shocking. Poor kid 😢

Poor little lad :( his final moments were pain and fear
Good evening Riaz, it's Simon from the MEMORIAL CHANNEL BRADFORD, I have uploaded a memorial video for little Stephen Jennings and I have used the audio from your previous video about Stephen. I hope that is ok? Thanks again Simon.
No problem.
Long as you credit us, please.. Good luck 👍🏾
I have put the link to your video in the D discription. Thank you.@@BradfordThroughTheLens
Absolutely awful, poor little man 😢 nobody deserves that !!
Heartbreaking history 💔
Such a sad story, it’s absolutely unfathomable how someone could do that to their child! Also I was wondering where you find the grave plans for these cemeteries, ive been looking for my grandmas grave in schoolmoor but can’t work out any of the maps or grace numbers I’ve found online.
Hello,

Heartbreaking story. 😢😢😢 RIP young lad ❤🙏⭐

Very sad story indeed. Wish the little man's grave was not in such a state when I get a chance will go and give it a clean up.
❤️
That's lovely...Godbless..🙏🫂👍
excellent video, real local history.. thanks

I live in greengates..bd10 👍
Sad story 😢
💔
I've just come from visiting my son in Bradford..loads of history..
Absolutely 💯
Very sad
So sad 😢
💔
So tragic! How can you kill your own child? Or any child?
Strange how many cases are solved by a Jack Russell terrier, or other canine friend. D'you remember Pickles, the little dog who save the 1966 World Cup?
Thanks for commenting.
Hhhmmm... I don't remember Pickles🤔
There was a murderer loose for over 20 years in Shipley until he was finally cought. He killed a young lady on the Leeds Liverpool canal and only got arrested over 20 years later
I don't seem to recall that one. 🤔
@@BradfordThroughTheLens a baildon man named Ian lowther . He killed the lady in the late 70s early 80s and was only caught by DNA after a crime watch re enactment 23 years later but only her son lived to see him jailed sadly
The father was my Dad's cousin,so Stephen would've been my second cousin. At the time family opinion was divided between the father being responsible or The Moors Murderers. RIP my lad.
I lived a few 100 yards away and used the path on 100,s of occasions as a teen in the 70,s unknowingly walking passed the remains of Stephen. Did you know that the detective leading the enquiry at the time was asked all those years later if he wanted to make the journey to arrest the father even though he was retired...
That's a bit of interesting information.
It's shocking to know that you walked by many times. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
@@BradfordThroughTheLenskeep up the good work 👌👌
@@intruder3906 👍🏾
wounder if his father is still alive in jail. Sad story
Good question 🤔
I have been informed that Jennings was released from prison after only serving ten years or so... if this is true, then I'll forever continue to be appalled by this awful story!
He's died this week
@@catherineturner4316 Link?
It was in local press but then deleted cos of the story coming out @@WillScarlet1991
What was the fathers sentence
Not sure. I can't really find a definitive answer on line.
here,s something WHY IS THE SECOND WEST PUB SO CALLED ?
🤔 HHhhmmmm
If it's the Second West pub at Lidget Green, I was told many years ago that the Second West Yorkshire Regiment marched away from here to the first world war. Apparently there was a plaque in the pub but I don't know if it's still there.
I'm assuming the murderous dad then died in prison?
No released died Feb 2024
