    Trevor Metcalfe (Unsolved Murder)

    Early in the morning of September 16th 1989, the battered body of 25-year-old Trevor Metcalfe was found on playing fields in Dormanstown, near Middlesbrough. This was a location Trevor had no known ties to, and police were puzzled as to what led him there. Following a family tragedy, Trevor had developed a solvent addiction, and he was attacked and killed while he was intoxicated and at his most vulnerable. His killer or killers showed him no mercy and beat him while he lay defenceless on the ground. Over the years, there have been numerous leads, as well as several anonymous letters and calls to local police. Still, the most chilling development was a message painted on a changing block close to the murder scene, which read "Catch me if you can".

    Mary Joe Frug (Unsolved Murder)

    Through the 1970s and 1980s, Mary Joe Frug was a well-respected and prominent law academic. As a part of the Critical Legal Studies movement, she looked to analyse the legal system from a feminist perspective. On the evening of April 4th 1991, the 49-year-old was walking to a convenience store in an upmarket neighbourhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when she was set upon and viciously stabbed to death. A man in his early twenties was seen fleeing from the scene but has never been identified. Investigators were baffled regarding a motive and could not determine if the slaying had been a random act or if Mary Joe had been specifically targeted. Several avenues continue to be explored by cold case detectives, including the possibility that the murder was connected to her work or private life.

    Hannah Williams (Unsolved Murder)

    Hannah Williams, a 78-year-old widow, lived with her daughter, Elizabeth, in an isolated cottage six miles from Cardiff. On the morning of Saturday November 10th 1900, Elizabeth walked to market to sell produce from their smallholding. Hannah stayed behind, busying herself with some household chores. When Elizabeth returned that afternoon she was met by neighbours on the road who informed her that Hannah was dead. This had not been due to natural causes or even an accident, but by bloody violence. Hannah had been bludgeoned with a coal hammer and her throat slashed while darning a sock in her own kitchen. Well over a century later Hannah's story and its many unanswered questions still resonate.

    Abdur Rashid (Unsolved Murder)

    Abdur Rashid was a 46 year old Muslim spiritual teacher who came to the UK from Bangladesh in the late 1970s. Abdur lived and worked in London's East End and was known in the local community as a good man. In April 1988 Abdur was murdered with a sharp instrument and his body dumped in Epping Forest. The killer set the body alight, an act that is forbidden in Islam and one that is considered dishonorable. Police managed to piece together some clues but were at a loss as to the motive for such a cold blooded crime. The crime soon disappeared from the headlines as the investigation drew blanks.

    Christina "Sister Jacinta" Bracken (Missing Person)

    Christina or Christine Bracken was a 39 year old  nun, originally from Ireland, who in the later part of 1978 moved to Swansea, Wales, to begin a new chapter in her life. After 6 months in Wales Christina, who went by her religious name Sister Jacinta, appeared to have settled in well and seemed happy. Shortly after lunch on Saturday May 19th 1979 Sister Jacinta took a walk into the city centre to buy a birthday present for her mother. While there were a few sightings of  Sister Jacinta that day (both confirmed and unconfirmed), she was never seen by anyone at the convent again and seemingly vanished into thin air. There are numerous theories and rumours about what happened to Sister Jacinta, including a startling piece of information that surfaced just a decade ago.

    Kevin Mison (Unsolved Murder)

    Kevin Mison was a football mad teenager from an estate in West London. In early August 1980 the body of the 18 year old was found in an empty house close to where he lived. He had been murdered in a sexually motivated and sadistic attack. Witnesses came forward with information which led to a suspect sketch being created by the police and a mass fingerprinting exercise was undertaken on the estate. Just months later the murder investigation was scaled back and Kevin's killer has yet to be identified. *Just a quick note to say I'm sorry I've only been doing one episode a month since April. Life has been hectic and I've had some health issues as well as some other commitments. Thank you all for continuing to listen.  I try and choose stories that are rarely covered by other podcasts and Kevin Mison's case is no exception. I have hope it won't be too late to find resolution to this 45 year unsolved crime.
