IPCC probes alleged Milly Dowler/NotW leak
Independent investigation is go
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has opened an investigation into allegations that a Surrey cop leaked information about the probe into Milly Dowler's murder in 2002 to the News of the World.
"An IPCC Deputy Senior Investigator has been over at Surrey Police this morning to get more information about the case and will be writing to the Dowlers' solicitor at the family's request," said the Commission in a statement issued this afternoon.
"Until we have shared further detail with him it would not be appropriate for us to make it public."
The IPCC said it had received a voluntary referral from Surrey Police about the allegation.
Thirteen-year-old Milly Dowler was murdered in 2002, after disappearing from school in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
Levi Bellfield, a doorman, was convicted of her murder in June this year.
News International-owned Sunday tabloid News of the World was closed down for good last month, after its company was swamped with allegations of widespread illegal phone-tapping at the paper. ®

@So when is
Shouldn't like that job!
Latex gloves in the pocket.
some interesting background Googling
"News of the World .. allegations of widespread illegal phone-tapping at the paper"
Not hacking or `phone-tapping' but illegal or unauhorized access of voicemail, unless there is more to come out. The question remains just who give the NotW the phones numbers in the first place. And were such practices common to other newspapers before-and-after the Dowler case.
"An IPCC Deputy Senior Investigator has been over at Surrey Police this morning to get more information about the case and will be writing to the Dowlers' solicitor at the family's request,"
translation: We're going totally lukewarm on this one and hope that such evidence that may exist will dissppear into the mists of time, like these NotW emails that got lost on the slowboat to China"
