An actor who played a suspect in a Crimewatch reconstruction has been accused of being the killer by viewers.
Steve Watson of Newark in Nottinghamshire, who is now 53, played a person of interest in the case of murdered 38-year-old Julie Pacey for the show in 1994 after responding to an advert.
Viewers reported him as the potential killer when the programme was rebroadcast on BBC One earlier this year, the Nottingham Post said.
"I asked the officer if I was a suspect and he said everybody was until they were ruled out," Watson said.
"I haven't heard anything yet - I guess I'm still a murder suspect."
He added: "Yes I can see the laugh in it, but the serious side is there. If you're going to do a reconstruction in a murder case, then be prepared for whatever comes.
"Until my DNA results are cleared I'm still in the frame.

Newcastle have a rich history of cultivating local talent through the ranks via the bristling production line that ran from the legendary Wallsend Boys Club to St James’ Park and unearthing potential stars thanks to the sharp judgement of an extensive scouting network.
While the names of Lee Clark, Tim Krul, Chris Waddle, Steven Taylor, Steve Watson and the two lads above, Peter Beardsley and Paul Gascoigne, are just some of our celebrated success stories that have prospered in black and white, inevitably, we’ve experienced the anguish of seeing more than few gifted youngsters slip through the net.
We aren’t alone though as every club has suffered the loss of a unpolished diamond at some point in their history whether it be through sheer ignorance or a colossal scouting blunder. It’s a small crumb of comfort but one that does little alleviate the torment.

It was in the 1990′s that Sir John Hall held a utopian fantasy of watching a team of Geordies to run out at St James’ Park in black and white shirts. It didn’t quite come to pass for the former Magpies chairman with barely a dozen locally reared players progressing through the ranks to make the grade in the first-team.
Without a Newcastle native to invest their hopes in Toon fans have instead resorted to making honorary Geordies out of the foreign imports that have played for the club in the Premier League, many of whom have gone on to enjoy cult hero status and are still widely revered.
While many of overseas recruits, most bought on a whim and for sky-high sums, will stick in the memory for all the wrong reasons we feel there are 10 players that have made significant...

Steve Watson, a 40-year-old British audiologist, was working with deaf children when he started writing a novel about memory loss and identity. He’d started and abandoned roughly 20 other novels, but this one found its way into the hands of a literary agent. The novel, “Before I Go to Sleep,” quickly sold in 37 countries and was optioned for film by Ridley Scott. Improbably, Mr. Watson’s debut novel has emerged as one of the most hotly anticipated thrillers of the summer.
