249: The Mysterious Murder of Julia Wallace

249: The Mysterious Murder of Julia Wallace

On a winter evening in 1931, a soft-spoken insurance agent was lured from his Liverpool home by a strange telephone message. The address he searched for didn’t exist. By the time he returned, his wife had been brutally murdered. Who was the caller? Was the alibi a masterstroke of deception? Or did someone exploit the perfect opportunity?
Tried. Convicted. Acquitted.
Nearly a century later, the murder of Julia Wallace remains one of the most baffling cases in British criminal history.
