On the 25th of March 1990, two men in a boat on the River Cam in Cambridgeshire spotted a black plastic bag floating down the river. They went to get a closer look and found the horrifying sight of a decomposing male body inside. Dental records identified the victim as 44 year old Ian Murray Erskine who had been missing from his Notting Hill home since the previous December. The investigation would uncover a complicated series of events after his disappearance and the police would be left wondering what connection this had to his murder.

True crime

On September the 7th 1974, 30 year old Tom Hewitt had been at his garage on Bright Street in Bury. At around 11:30am, a co-owner of the garage turned up and found Tom with severe head injuries. He later died from his injuries. Despite appeals, a reconstruction and a £10 000 reward, Tom's case is still unsolved and his family deserve answers. Important information provided by:Contemporary articles- https://www.findmypast.co.uk/https://www.burytimes.co.uk/news/14647529.retired-police-officer-reveals-shock-after-being-falsely-linked-to-murder-of-bury-manhttps://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/6012248.tv-may-help-solve-murder-27-years-ago/https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/6004604.no-new-evidence-27-year-old-murder/https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/5948127.sons-appeal-in-bid-to-trap-killer/https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/6005923.new-tv-plea-but-1970s-murder-stays-a-mystery/https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/son-offers-10000-to-catch-killer-1192643Music by: dl-sounds.comFollow the Unseen Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unseen-podcast/id1318473466?uo=4Follow the Unseen Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0xWK7Mu3bTP6oziZvxrwSK?si=QxvyPkZ2TdCDscnfxyeRawJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/unseenpodFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theunseenpodFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theunseenpod/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theunseenpod?fan_landing=trueSubscribe to 10 Minute True Crime: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/10-minute-true-crime/id1591474862

On the 27th of August 2020, suspicious bin bags were reported floating in the River Stour in Sudbury in Suffolk. The bin bags were found to contain human bones and this person was named the Sudbury Man.

The Sudbury man

On the 3rd of January 1978, 19 year old Jill Brown went to work as she usually did in Dovercourt in Essex. It was the first day back after the Christmas holidays and she would always walk to work at her job at a laundry. Her sister and parents waited for her to get off the bus after she finished but she never came home. They haven't seen her since and they deserve some answers.Important information provided by:https://www.essex.police.uk/police-forces/essex-police/areas/essex-police/au/about-us/cold-and-unsolved/jill-brown/https://www.themissingpodcast.org/jillbrownhttps://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/essex-women-desperate-find-sister-8714800https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2023-08-31/sisters-desperate-to-solve-45-year-mystery-of-missing-woman-for-mum-91Jill's missing person profile: https://www.missingpeople.org.uk/help-us-find/jill-brown-97-000614Music by: dl-sounds.comFollow the Unseen Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unseen-podcast/id1318473466?uo=4Follow the Unseen Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0xWK7Mu3bTP6oziZvxrwSK?si=QxvyPkZ2TdCDscnfxyeRawJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/unseenpodFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theunseenpodFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theunseenpod/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theunseenpod?fan_landing=trueSubscribe to 10 Minute True Crime: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/10-minute-true-crime/id1591474862
