Netflix's latest true-crime docuseries "Who Killed Jill Dando?" looks back at the murder of British TV presenter Jill Dando, who was shot outside of her London home in April 1999.

Although police pursued several lines of inquiry in their investigation, the motive behind her death remains a mystery.

While the "Crimewatch" presenter was killed in April 1999, it wasn't until May 2000 that the police arrested and charged someone with her murder: Barry George.

Barry George was convicted of Jill Dando's murder in July 2001. He spent eight years in prison.
