Main article: News of the World phone hacking affair
The Guardian reported on 4 July 2011 that Scotland Yard had discovered Dowler's voicemail had been accessed by journalists working for the News of the World and the newspaper's private investigator Glenn Mulcaire.[43] During their ongoing investigation into that newspaper's phone hacking activities, police detectives discovered that journalists had deleted some messages – potential evidence – in Dowler's voicemail box because it was full; that freed up space for new messages, which they could listen to. The deletions misled family and friends into thinking that Dowler was still alive.[44] Dowler's parents announced via their solicitor that they would pursue a claim for damages against the News of the World.[45]
The determination of the people and the police in western countries to bring to justice criminals is simply amazing. The link to the Dowler case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Milly_Dowler
