On June 4th, 1978, eighteen-year-old Michael Page attended a party with friends at Crofton Hall in Orpington, Kent, England. Michael worked as a bank clerk at the NatWest bank in Elephant and Castle, South London.
As Michael walked home from the party, he was set upon by an unknown attacker and stabbed a half-dozen times. A passing motorist spotted Michael’s lifeless body at around quarter to four in the morning, lying on the sidewalk only a few hundred yards from his home on Avalon Road.
Police later determined that Michael’s wallet, containing a £50 check card, about £3 in change, and a railway season ticket, was missing, indicating that robbery was the most likely motive for the murder.
The case is still unsolved, more than four decades later.
