On September 21st, 2001, (just 10 days after the 9/11 attacks in America) a man called Aidan Minter found the torso of a young boy in the River Thames as he was walking across Tower Bridge in central London for a business meeting.

“The tide was quite high at the time, I thought it was a tailor's mannequin. Then it came under the bridge, and that's when I saw the detail - the wounds and the body itself.I  do think about him. I'll never forget it for as long as I live.”

The police, unable to find who the identity of the boy, called him Adam. Today we talk about this unsolved murder, and we can only hope that Adam’s family may someday get the closure they deserve.

Stay safe out there.

With love,

Saaniya and Maddie x
