The Missing
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
Today’s episode looks at three cases where people have gone missing.
Our first case with the Reverend Speke from 1868 investigates this notorious vanishing of the good Reverend.  His disappearance made national and international headlines at the time.  How he is discovered is almost a twist of fate.
Our second story quickly reviews the terrible missing children of West ham.
Our third story takes a look at the famous case of the vanishing lighthouse keepers of 1900 in the very remote Flannan Islands.
Three strange cases of vanishings is today’s episode of wicked Wednesdays.

Hosted by Robin Coles.
