Just under 3 weeks later a discovery was made by a man at the local salt marshes called Dengie Flats. A parcel containing human remains. The subsequent investigation would find a horrific story and a very violent man.Important information provided by:An amazing resource for information about the time and Hume's life- http://www.nickelinthemachine.com/2013/04/warren-street-and-the-murder-of-stan-the-spiv-setty-by-brian-donald-hume-in-1949/https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/donald-hume-the-setty-casehttps://www.findmypast.co.uk/If you want to support the show on Patreon here is the link and thank you!https://www.patreon.com/theunseenpodMusic by: www.dl-sounds.com (http://www.dl-sounds.com/)Follow us on social media:Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen Podcast

On the 30th of September 1975, cowman Jock Stewart was walking just outside of the town of Ecchinswell in Hampshire. As he walked along he noticed something in an open drain behind a demolished cottage. As he got closer he noticed that it was a partially naked woman wrapped up in a bed blanket. The investigation began into who this woman was and due to her small features she became known as the Ecchinswell Doll.
