On Friday the 23rd of September 2016, 23 year old airman Corrie McKeague went out with two of his friends to the town of Bury St Edmunds. He was stationed at RAF Honington airbase and was planning on going out for some drinks and having a good time. Corrie was told to leave Flex nightclub that night and became separated from his friends. He went to a local takeaway and had a nap for a few hours outside a local shop. He was last spotted on CCTV heading into an area called the Horseshoe where several bins were located. Corrie never left this area and wasn't spotted on CCTV again. Where did Corrie McKeague go and what happened to him?

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.

Kyle Clarke was just 27 when he was killed on the night of January 10th 2017. He had been getting petrol at a petrol station in Bristol when an altercation occurred between him and a garage worker. Kyle was tragically ran over on the forecourt by the passenger in the car and died at the scene. The circumstances however of what truly occurred that night are very different to this initial account and cast doubt on whether 'a citizens arrest' was really the reason behind what happened.

For this episode I spoke to Jen Jarvie who is working with Kyle's Mum Helen to raise awareness of Kyle's case and to get him the proper justice he deserves. Jen also tells us about the awful attack on Helen that shaped Kyle's childhood.

Thank you to Helen and Jen for sharing this story with me.

22 year old student Jessie Earl left her bedsit in the town of Eastbourne on May the 15th 1980 and was never seen again. Her parents searched for her and contacted anyone that they could think of but she wasn't located. Sadly 9 years later, her body was recovered at Beachy Head in Eastbourne in suspicious circumstances. She was not the only young woman to go missing in the 1980's. 18 year old Louise Kay had vanished on June the 23rd 1988 and both her nor her car were ever seen again.
The question is were these two connected and what really happened to them?

Sarah Millson worked as a housekeeper for the Bevington Brothers Leather Wholesalers which was based in Cannon Street in Central London. Sarah mostly kept to herself and didn't appear to receive many visitors. That was why it was strange on the 11th of April 1866, a stranger knocked on her door and she said she knew it was for her. After an hour her friend who was upstairs with her went down and found her dead body in the doorway. Despite the time that has elapsed Sarah's murder is still unsolved.
This episode is a special listener written and researched episode and this time it comes from the fabulous Barbara so thank you so much!

Ivy Davies was murdered in her home in Westcliff on Sea in Southend on Sea in Essex in February 1975. We covered this episode last year on the podcast and for this update episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Ivy's son Vic who has been fighting for justice for his mother for almost 50 years. Vic has relayed lots of new information to me about Ivy's case and the investigation and I hope that by putting these new details out to the public someone might come forward with information.

Dorothy Leyden was walking home from Manchester City centre to her home in Harpurhey in April 1971 after a night out with friends. She never returned home and was later found murdered on a piece of wasteland along the route to her house. Many people believed that the 'Beast of Manchester' was involved with the murder however speculation has continued to be rife in this case for the last 50 years. Sadly the case is still unsolved.

On the 8th of April 1969, 13 year old April Fabb got on her bicycle to go to her Sister and Brother in Law's house in Roughton in Norfolk, just 15 minutes ride from her house in Metton. This was just a routine trip which shouldn't have taken her long but she never returned and nobody has ever seen her again. April's case is often linked with Genette Tate's case which was covered in the previous episode.
