The Unseen Podcast

It is our 100th episode this week and I have been taking listener suggestions for the case we should cover. The disappearance of Trevaline Evans has been suggested to me many times. On Saturday the 16th of June 1990, 52 year old Trevaline left her shop, Attic Antiques, in Llangollen and left a note in the window 'Be back in two minutes.' Sadly the shop never reopened and Trevaline has never been seen since. There were many sightings of her that day and the days prior but what happened to her has never been discovered. There have been developments as recently as last year in her case so there is some hope that we may find out what happened to her however we are still asking where is Trevaline Evans?

Margaret was waiting for her twin sister Ann to come around on Sunday 25th March 1973. They had plans to take their children to the beach that day. The time they had arranged came and went and Ann had not arrived. She knew something was wrong. When she went to Ann's house she was told by her husband Gilbert that she had simply left the house the night before and had not returned. She didn't even take her handbag. The police logged Ann as a missing person and quickly began looking for her. A search lasting over 10 years and a trial would occur but sadly Ann has never been found. Where is Ann Law?

On the 7th October 1977, Brenda Evans was on her way back from her lunch hour in the area of Poulton and Pulford in Cheshire. 17 year old Brenda had recently got engaged, bought a new house and found herself a new job. 1977 had been a very happy year for her. She was a reliable employee so when her boss realised she had not returned to work that afternoon he told her mother. A search party set out along the route from her Aunt and Uncle's house to find her. They did eventually find her but sadly she had become the victim of a horrific murder. Mystery and rumour surround this case as the suspicion has always been that someone from the local community was the murderer.

On January 12th 1920, Florence Nightingale Shore boarded a train to take her to the seaside resort of St Leonards in Hastings in Sussex. This was a journey many people took every day but today this one would be different. When the train pulled in at Bexhill a couple of hours later other passengers would realise Florence wasn't reading or sleeping, she was unconscious. She had been beaten around the head with the blunt object. Who would want to murder a celebrated war time nurse who had only lived to help others?

Update Description (https://audioboom.com/posts/7470348-laurence-winstanley/edit)

On the 24th August 1991, a silver Vauxhall Nova GTE Saloon car was found by locals on a housing estate in Slough. The car attracted attention as the keys were left in the ignition, the sunroof was left open and it had not been seen on the estate before. The registration plate was ran by police and it was found to be registered to 21 year old Andrew Elphick who lived in the village of Normandy, Surrey which was just under an hour away. The problem that police encountered was that Andrew had not been seen since 8:30pm the previous evening. Andrew was a missing person. The investigation that ensued would lead police to a number of worrying discoveries and would turn this missing person case into a murder investigation.

On the 2nd October 1988,  23 year old Laurence Winstanley had been working at his garage in Oldham, Greater Manchester. During his lunch break he popped into the local pub. While he was there he received a phone call which his friends say made him agitated. He returned to the pub that evening but this would be the last time anyone would see him alive. That night he disappeared. A year later Laurence's body was found in Baitings Reservoir. The investigation into Laurence's murder caused many to wonder why he had been targeted and by whom.
In loving memory of Laurence Winstanley.

A quick update on the episodes in the coming weeks! 
To all my listeners have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in 2020 :)

In January 1953, aircraftsman Iain Hay Gordon was arrested on the charge of murdering 19 year old Patricia Curran close to her home in the village of Whiteabbey, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Police were proud of their conviction and were glad that a brutal murderer was off the streets. Gordon was released quietly in 1960 and returned to Scotland. The communities in Northern Ireland continued to mourn Patricia and believed she had got justice. This would all be called into question however in 2000 when the Court of Appeals in Northern Ireland stated unequivocally that Iain Hay Gordon had not committed the murder. Shaky police interrogation techniques and a lack of evidence was cited as part of the problem with this miscarriage of justice.

In the early hours of the 12th November 1953, Desmond Curran set out to look for his younger sister. She had not returned from university in Belfast, Northern ireland as she normally did and the family were concerned. As he set out into the grounds of their large home he had an awful shock. Lying in the undergrowth just short of their driveway was Patricia. She had been stabbed and it would later be found she had 37 injuries. The investigation became high profile as Patricia was the daughter of High Court Judge Lancelot Curran and newspapers everywhere documented what happened next. An arrest would be made in the case and in this first episode we delve into the arrest and trial. part 2 will discuss the other side of the story that led to the suspect's acquittal in this controversial case.
