According to his neighbours, he was a keen motorist and always had different cars on his drive as if he was a car dealer. 'There were rumours that he was involved with stealing cars and selling drugs,' one recounted in a local report from the time. 'One time I saw police literally dismantling a car on his drive.' At the time of his death, Rolf reportedly shared a three-bedroom detached house with his girlfriend of seven years Donna Jaggers and their six-year-old daughter. A woman living nearby suggested the couple seemed quite secretive and had very little contact with their neighbours. 'They were rarely seen,' another resident commented. Was Craig Rolfe part of the Essex Boys? Due to his reputation as a drug addict, it is widely assumed that Rolfe was part of the notorious gang. After all, the Essex Boys were mainly involved in drug deals during their reign of terror in 1980s and 1990s. They were thought to be major players in the ecstasy trade that fuelled Britain's booming rave scene. How did Craig Rolfe die? Craig Rolfe, 26, was found shot dead in a Range Rover on an isolated farm track in Rettendon on the morning of December 7, 1995, alongside Pat Tate, 37, and Toney Tucker, 38. All three of them were "blasted" by a shotgun from close range, lying blood-covered and slumped in the vehicle until they were discovered by two local farmers the next morning. The victims were all known members of the drug gang, and numerous theories formed surrounding how they came to be shot eight times in a peaceful Essex village.
