  The poor abandoned baby boy. I hope he had a good life and is doing well now. 28 years ago.

  Poor Alan. I’d love to get my hands on the disgusting scumbag who carried out that senseless and appalling crime. They would suffer a whole lot worse than Alan did. RIP. It’s the first time I’ve seen this case and I’m appalled. It choked me up as well I don’t mind admitting and I got quite emotional. As well as angry.

  Alan's case was absolutely heartbreaking! I do hope they'll one day apprehend the vile thug responsible!

  Alan's case, is proof, something doesn't have to be graphic or violent to be harrowing. It's a case I've never forgotten. It's actually extremely upsetting to even watch now. The only bit of comfort we can take, is that he was found before he died, so had family with him. Also that surely the killer, didn't intend for him to die and that it will hopefully haunt them until the day they die.

  This episode with Alan and one a couple back of the poor girl who was murdered and was in the back of a white van in a lay-by that a passer by stumbled upon, who said “for god sake please help me”, haunts me. There are some despicable people in this world. Both of these crimes remain unsolved. So sad.

  I watched Alan Holmes&apos; case aged 11. I didn&apos;t get a wink of sleep that night. Worst of all, the monster that left him trussed up for 10 days has never been caught.

  I can’t think of a single crime featured on CWUK more distressing than what happened to Alan. Just horrible.
