On the 16th of November 1940, 17 year old Minnie Stott went out to the cinema assuring her parents she would not be out late. That was the last time they would see their daughter. That night at around midnight her body was found under very suspicious circumstances. An investigation would unfold but her case remains a mystery to this day as it remains the oldest unsolved murder in Greater Manchester Police's history. It has baffled the police and the public and despite the time that has gone by since the event, Minnie's story deserves to be told.

On August 27th 1974, an unidentified woman was discovered on a public path in the small village of Cockley Cley in Norfolk. It was a brutal attack and the most shocking part of this discovery is that she had been decapitated. The police investigation into this crime has spanned 44 years and it has been both rigorous and thorough. Despite the crime having some connections and possible links to other missing people and murders, the Cockley Cley woman has yet to be identified. Who was she and what happened to her?
