In the early hours of Good Friday, Alan Garstang is out hunting on Wasson, with his uncle. How close do they get to witnessing the dumping of Fred’s body in the nearby spinney?

A week after the discovery of Fred Jeffs's body, the funeral takes place at Quinton Cemetery. The Inquest does little to provide closure and the Police investigation goes cold, but sixty years on, with memories still vivid, can we separate the facts from the fiction? What have we learned about Fred himself? Are we close to cracking the case and finally bringing the story to an end?
