Ron Cousins Feb 14, 2021

Show notes

On the 15th of April 1994, 78-year-old Ron Cousins was found brutally murdered in his own home by two of his neighbours. His outside tap was dripping and his curtains had been drawn since the previous day. The neighbours however were not expecting to find the scene that greeted them. Ron had been stabbed and his body covered in white paint. Pages from the bible had been stuffed in his mouth. Who wanted to kill a man that everyone in his community in Moulsham in Chelmsford described as a 'kind and friendly man'?

Daniel Entwistle Jan 31, 2021

Show notes

On Saturday May the 3rd 2003, 7 year old Daniel Entwistle went to the local shop in the seaside town of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. He was on an errand for his dad and was asked to get a bottle for his baby brother. Daniel did this happily, gave it to his dad and then went back out to play. Sadly this would be the last time they would see him and that night he disappeared without a trace. Unfortunately Daniel's story has been largely forgotten about.

Bonus- Ruth Wilson Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

This was an episode that was published on Patreon in January 2020. Ruth's case needs more publicity and it has been suggested to me multiple times.
On Monday 27th November 1995, the Wilson Family were in a rush trying to get out of the house for work and school. Ian and Karen Wilson were both teachers and were in a hurry to get to work while Ian's two daughters Ruth and Jenny were getting ready for school. 16 year old Ruth told her sister on this day however that she was not going to get on the bus with her as normal. She explained she was going to go to the library to do some work. This was not necessarily unusual as Ruth was now in Sixth Form and didn't have lessons every day. It was unusual however when Ruth did not return home at all. A police investigation began which would uncover some strange circumstances surrounding Ruth's disappearance. A documentary many years later would also uncover some previously unknown information.
The Documentary Vanished; The Surrey Schoolgirl was a large part of my research for the case. It is an excellent documentary and I would highly recommend it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfkAO8VcKBg
I also used some articles about the case

The day was like any other for her family and she told builders in her home she was late for a meeting. By 11am however she had been found murdered in her car just 9 miles from her house.

John Greenwood and Gary Miller Jan 03, 2021

Later that evening their beaten bodies were found underneath a mattress by a passerby. The community were horrified and wanted answers. A man was arrested and went to trial for the murders but this did not go as planned. Just this year, police and the families have stated they want to take this same man to trial again.

Peter and Sylvia Stuart Dec 20, 2020

Show notes

Peter and Sylvia Stuart lived on Mill Lane in the village of Weybread in Suffolk. The couple were retired and enjoyed their time together; seeing family and going out and about. Therefore when neighbours hadn't seen them in a while, they grew concerned and contacted the couple's daughter. Police were soon on the scene and discovered a bizarre scene which led them to conduct a both murder investigation and search for a missing person.
