Guistina Macari was known as Christina by family and friends. On May 17th 1941 the three year old disappeared from outside her family’s fish and chip shop in Swansea, South Wales. Her little body was found 5km away in a wood the following day.  Many witnesses came forward to say they had seen the little girl in the company of a man with long hair who walked with a stoop. It wasn’t long before a prime suspect emerged who police at the time believed had murdered before. A suspect who could be connected to another unsolved murder previously covered by this podcast.
