Summary
Six months after the Vale of Health basement remains were uncovered, a BBC bulletin announces that Jasper Allen Black’s body has been discovered in woods near Little Belmont, Dorset. Authorities believe Jasper died by suicide, shortly after he was last seen two weeks before the cellar discoveries.
The report recounts that Daisy Black tracked Jasper via Reddit and confronted him with evidence that she is Claire Connolly’s daughter, not Jessamine Black’s. During this confrontation, Jasper tried to strangle Daisy before fleeing.
Further details identify Jasper as a circus performer, Patch the Clown, tied to incidents of harassing and frightening women at night while in clown attire. His circus prepares a statement, and a colleague describes him as a loner and “oddbod.”
The bulletin states it is unknown whether Jasper had any involvement in the serial killings within the family home. Meanwhile, Jessamine Black remains in an addiction rehabilitation center in Surrey and awaits trial for manslaughter related to Annie Black’s death.
