The Princes in the Tower – Philippa Langley aims to crack the case

john_everett_millais_73_the_princes_in_the_towerPhilippa Langley, who, of course, spear-headed the Looking for Richard project, has announced that she is going to investigate the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower by teaming up with cold case experts.

Langley was quoted in The Independent as saying:

"When you keep the paper historians out of it and ask those whose job it is to look into cold case histories, like the police, lawyers and private investigators they all say the same thing: that’s it’s very questionable whether there was a murder at all, considering what happened with all the pretenders that arrived under Henry Tudor’s reign; and second, that Richard III is not their prime suspect – because they go on motive, opportunity and proclivity.

"I'll be using cold case history specialists because this project needs to go in places it has never gone before."
