Phillip Nickson Mar 02, 2025

Show notes

On November 6th 1985, 32 year old Phillip Nickson headed out to do his shopping in Stoke Newington, London. He never returned as on the short walk he suffered a violent blow to the head which killed him. There is very little information about this case out there so I would love to shine a light on this cold case.
