It seems that on August 24th 1867 Frederick Baker was not just walking through Alton with the purpose of a leisurely walk but with cruel intentions. By the evening of August 24th the small town of Alton would be shaken by one of the most vicious murders and mutilations of a child the U.K has ever seen. This is the murder of sweet Fanny Adams. This case was suggested to me by Anna on Twitter, thank you so much Anna, this episode is for you.
