On the 5th July 1919, a farmer by the name of Joseph Cowell was working on his farm in the village of Stretton Parva, Leicestershire. The area was a relatively quiet and sleepy place and Mr Cowell was finishing off a number of things he needed to get done. It was quite late, past 9'clock and Mr Cowell had to go and get some cows and bring them back to the farm. He went to go and collect them and as he was walking back along the road he noticed something lying in the middle of it. As he got closer he realised that it was the body of a woman. This woman would later be identified as Annie Bella Wright but the question was what had happened to her?Important information provided by: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/ -The Leicester Daily The Daily Herald The Lincolnshire EchoLeicester Daily PostNottingham JournalThe  Illustrated Police NewspaperCheltenham chronicle and Gloucestershire GraphicDerby DailyBirmingham Gazette Find us on social media: Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen PodcastInstagram - TheUnseenPodWebsite www.TheUnseenPodcast.com

In 1939, worried friends of Ada Constance Kent went to police to explain that they had not seen her for a number of months. Ada lived in the small village of Fingringhoe, close to Colchester in a traditional thatched cottage. The residents of Fingringhoe did not see Ada often as she kept herself to herself and lead a relatively reclusive lifestyle. Police did a check on Ada's house but found nothing and importantly they didn't find Ada. 10 Years later, Ada had still not been located and everyone had almost given up hope of solving the mystery. That was until a discovery changed everyone's perception of what might have happened to her.Important information provided by:https://www.findmypast.co.uk/https://coolinterestingstuff.com/the-unexplained-mystery-of-ada-constance-kent-the-skeleton-in-the-bedroomPunt PI Series 9 Episode 2 The reclusive skeleton of Fingringhoehttp://essexandsuffolksurnames.co.uk/the-fingringhoe-skeleton/http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Ada_Constance_Kenthttp://strangeco.blogspot.com/2013/03/newspaper-clipping-of-day_27.htmlhttp://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/12973905.COUNTY_CURMUDGEON__Coffee__murder_and_mysteries/Follow us on Social Media: Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen PodcastInstagram - TheUnseenPodWebsite www.TheUnseenPodcast.com

At around 1:50am in the early morning hours of the 6th November 1930, two men were walking back from a Guy Fawkes dance in the centre of Northampton. They both noticed a fire in the distance. Both men dismissed it as it had been Bonfire night and a fire was not unusual to see. The men then noticed a man coming towards them dressed in professional clothes and carrying an attaché case. The men thought it was odd to see a man dressed for work at that hour but they conversed for a minute and the men parted ways. As they approached the fire they realised that it was not just any fire but it was actually a car engulfed in flames. The investigation that ensued was bizarre and led to a very baffling outcome.Important information provided by:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-41886193http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-30207217https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/how-cold-blooded-womanising-killer-1049530https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140114091840.htmhttps://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/press/press-releases/2014/january/murder-mystery-remains-dna-rules-out-briggs-as-blazing-car-victimhttps://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/75730952https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/61589264http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-17899027https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/724019/Northamptonshire-Every-tombstone-tells-a-story.htmlFurther reading:The Butchers by Brian Lane (1991)Murder in the 1930's by Colin Wilson (1992)Find us on Social Media:Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen PodcastInstagram - TheUnseenPodWebsite www.TheUnseenPodcast.com

On the 17th June 1934 workers at Brighton Railway station were going about their usual duties. William Joseph Vinnicombe, in the process of his shift, noticed a terrible smell at the station. He did a quick search of the area of the station and discovered that the smell appeared to be emanating from the left luggage room. It seemed to be permeating throughout the station and Vinnicombe noticed there was a plywood trunk that had been left in the room. The trunk got his attention and the location of the trunk itself seemed to match up with the awful smell. Vinnicombe attempted to open the trunk to see what the foul smell was however he was unable to as it was locked. When the trunk was opened they would make a gruesome discovery. The dismembered torso of an unidentified woman. This discovery would lead to the discovery of a second trunk and ultimately a controversial trial that would cause uproar in the community.Important information provided by: http://swordandscale.com/the-brighton-trunk-murders/https://the-line-up.com/the-brighton-trunk-murders-of-1934http://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/page_id__6817.aspxhttps://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/brighton-trunk-murdershttp://www.oldpolicecellsmuseum.org.uk/content/history/sussex_murders/another-odious-smellhttps://elvirabarney.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/doctors-and-patients-1/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAP3m21ikXwFind us on Social Media:Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen PodcastInstagram - TheUnseenPodWebsite www.TheUnseenPodcast.com
