Feb 18, 2022
Show notes
This week we're looking at a Jane Doe case from 1960, when a 2-7 year old girl was found half-buried in a creek bed in Yuvapai County, Arizona. Almost 62 years on and we still have no answers, but her DNA is currently being analysed in the search for an identity.
44: The Mystery of Oak Island
Feb 04, 2022
Show notes
Sometimes you need something a little bit lighter, so this week we're taking a look at the everlasting mystery of Oak Island, a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia where over two centuries ago, a seemingly never-ending pit was discovered. There have long been rumours of buried treasure, but nothing substantial has ever been found, bar some mysteriously inscribed stone, wooden platforms and the occasional strange item. What is there?
43: The 1814 London Beer Flood

42: Ruth Ellis: The Last Woman Hanged in England
Jan 21, 2022
Show notes
Today's story is more of a conversation starter than my usual mystery. In the 1960's, Ruth Ellis was convicted of the murder of David Blakely and was subsequently ordered to hang. The British public was outraged and believed that there were enough mitigating circumstances that her life should have been spared. What do you think?
41: The Dane County Chimney Doe
Jan 14, 2022
Show notes
This week we're taking a look at the Dane County Chimney Doe, a skeleton found in a chimney in Madison, Wisconsin in 1989 that still remains unidentified. This is a Doe case that's proving particularly hard to get answers to - how did they even end up in the chimney in the first place? How were they not reported as missing?
40: The Centuries Old Mystery of Theodosia Burr
Jan 07, 2022
Show notes
This week we're travelling back in time to the early 10th century, when Theodosia Burr, the only surviving daughter of Vice President Aaron Burr, boarded a ship to New York only for it to never arrive at its destination. Over two centuries later, and what happened to Theodosia is still a complete mystery, with only one clue in the form of a portrait of a beautiful woman.
