Jill Wendy Dando (9 November 1961 – 26 April 1999) was a British journalist, television presenter and newsreader.
She spent most of her career at the BBC and was the corporation's Personality of the Year in 1997.
At the time of her death, her television work included co-presenting the BBC One programme Crimewatch with Nick Ross. On the morning of 26 April 1999, Dando was shot dead outside her home in Fulham, London.
It prompted the biggest murder inquiry conducted by the Metropolitan Police and the country's largest criminal investigation since the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper.
A local man, Barry George, was convicted and imprisoned for the murder, but was later acquitted after an appeal and retrial.
The case remains open.
