The case which inspired a serial killer: Who murdered 7 year-old boxing fan Christine Butcher?

Sorry if this a long read, I wanted to include all available information.

Background:

Fair-haired and blue-eyed, Christine Vivian Butcher was born in April of 1944 in Windsor, a town in Berkshire, England. She was the only daughter of Charles Ernest Butcher (1912 - 1976) and Barbara Eva Butcher (nΓ©e Quine; 1906 - 1984). She had an older brother named John, who was born in 1939. The family lived on Peascod Street, near Windsor Castle. From a young age, Christine had an interest in famous people, especially boxers, her favourite of which was the American Sugar Ray Robinson.

The Disappearance:

Christine's home was just 30 yards from the Star and Garter Hotel, and on the 8th of July 1951, she found out that Sugar Ray was staying there in preperation for his fight on the 10th against the British middleweight boxer Randy Turpin. Christine had a black porcelain doll she nicknamed 'Blackie' (this was the 1950s!) that she thought looked like Sugar Ray, and she was desparate to show it to him, hoping that the resemblance would impress him so much that he would take her on a ride in his pink Cadillac.

Between 3 and 3:30pm, Christine's mother waved her daughter off as Christine set off on the short walk to the hotel, dressed in a green and white gingham dress and a blue gabardine raincoat and clutching the doll and a small bag of sweets. This would be the last time Christine would be seen alive, and her parents contacted authorities a few hours later (I could not find exactly how long after) when she did not return home when it got dark.

The Initial Investigation:

The Berkshire police immediately started their search. It was believed that Christine had reached the entrance of the hotel, 'disappearing' into a crowd of people waiting at the steps, but they found by talking to Sugar Ray that Christine had stepped foot the hotel, as he, anybody in his entourage or any hotel employees had not seen Christine at all. Sniffer dogs and soldiers brought in from the famed Household Cavalry to search the area and draggings of the nearby River Thames also yielded no results.

Christine's connection to Sugar Ray meant that her disappearance was in headlines across the word, the news spreading even to Australia and the USA. Sugar Ray himself was quoted as saying β€œI am very sorry about this - if I had known she wanted to see me, her daddy c

PSA: Berkshire pronounced BARK-SHEER

I've seen a lot of funny debate about a lot of the pronunciations in this game (particularly Landsknechte), but noboby seems to be correcting Berkshire 😞 Zero Empires (who is English) was mispronouncing it during streams .

Yes, I know in the US there's a place called "The Berkshires" that's pronounced berk-sheers, but this is the English. I'm pretty sure the landmark is modelled after Windsor Castle, which is awesome and in the county of Berkshire (bark-sheer). Yes, English pronunciation of place names is confusing, come fight me in Loughborough, Bicester, and Ruislip.

Bonus cringe points to any streamer pronouncing it berk-shy-er.

Edit: zero empires, not spirit of the law
