Ann Myring Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

This episode is out of our usual fortnightly schedule however as you will hear in the episode, I am moving to 3 episodes per month with a week break so I can try and include more missing person cases. This is the first of these missing person episodes!
On the 25th of June 1997, 45 year old Ann Myring left her job at Hewlett Packard close to her home in Stoke Gifford, South Gloucestershire. She returned home but the next day her two sons heard that she had gone to visit a health farm for the weekend. On Monday they then heard that she had left their Dad and that she was missing. Ann never returned and she hasn't been seen since. Despite an arrest and a trial, no one knows what happened to Ann Myring.

Harry Howell Apr 09, 2023

Show notes

On the 5th of November 1988, 74 year old Harry Howell was seen out and about in the town of Blackpool where he lived. Harry was sociable, loved to put on a bet and go for a pint but he was also a creature of habit and enjoyed his usual routine. It was thought that he had gone home that night as usual nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Around 2 weeks later though his battered body was found in his flat. He had been murdered and everyone now looked at that day, the 5th of November, a little differently. Harry's murder is sadly still unsolved.

Jenny Ronaldson Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

On the 24th of November 1980, the body of 19 year old Jenny Ronaldson was recovered from the River Thames close to the area of the Isle of Dogs close to what is now Canary Wharf. Jenny was a devoted and reliable nurse who worked at Guys hospital who told her colleagues on the 26th of October that she was going sightseeing to Petticoat Lane Market in Spitalfields after her shift. They never saw her again. Jenny's murder is still unsolved but has been speculatively linked to some of the most infamous killers in UK history; the Railway Killers.

Steven Clark Jan 15, 2023

Show notes

On the 28th of December 1992, 23 year old Steven Clark went on a walk with his Mum Doris to the beach in Saltburn in North Yorkshire. He made a trip to the public toilets when he arrived at the beach and when he didn't come out his Mum assumed he had just returned home. He had not and that day he seemed to just vanish into thin air. Steven hasn't been seen since and his case has taken many bizarre twists and turns in the 30 years since he disappeared.
