There are few crimes that shake a town to its core, but on August 10, 1988, the brutal and senseless murder of Samuel Graham Williamson did just that to Bournemouth. A quiet drifter, Samuel lived on the fringes of society—until the night he was strangled, beaten, and set ablaze in an act of unimaginable violence.

The investigation revealed a life more complex than it seemed. Who was Samuel really? And why was he targeted with such personal brutality? The evidence pointed to Francis Joseph MacDonald, a man with a troubling past and no memory of the night in question. His DNA was found beneath Samuel’s fingernails—yet he was acquitted not once, but twice.

Was this a case of forgotten guilt or a miscarriage of justice? Did Samuel’s past hold the key to his murder? And does his killer still walk free?
