DS Major

PC Major was involved into the investigation of the Richard Hillman murders. After Richard confessed his crimes to Gail, she went with Audrey Roberts straight to the police station where she gave them a full rundown of what she had been told. Among the evidence was a bracelet that Richard had given Gail and which she later found out had belonged to his ex-wife Patricia. One of the major points of suspicion that led her to demand that Richard tell her the truth was overhearing Steve McDonald telling Karen that the item of jewellery had been found on the ground at The Ridings flat conversion when work was taking place on the foundations. As Richard had told Gail that he’d killed Patricia at The Ridings, PC Major took the bracelet to Steve and asked him to show them the spot where it had been “found”. Steve did so, the spot was excavated and Patricia’s buried body was found.
