On the 20th June 1931, Hubert Chevis was enjoying an evening with his wife Frances at his home in Camberley, Surrey. The newly married couple had hosted a cocktail party and when their friends left sat down for their dinner. The cook had prepared a Manchurian partridge and Frances carved it putting some on her husband's plate and some on hers. Hubert ate some of the meat and complained that it tasted bad. Frances agreed and they ordered it to be taken away. Not long after Hubert began convulsing and would later die in hospital. An investigation began into who poisoned Hubert and why leading to some unexpected findings.Important information provided by:https://www.findmypast.co.uk/ - all contemporary articles. https://www.peoplemagazine.co.za/real-people/real-stories/murder-lieutenant-chevis/http://www.unsolved-murders.co.uk/murder-content.php?key=106&termRef=Hubert%20George%20Chevishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Chevishttps://www.truecrimelibrary.com/crimearticle/hubert-george-chevis/https://www.historicmysteries.com/hubert-chevis/http://www.thepoisongarden.co.uk/blog/blog030911.htmFurther Listening- https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0144pvl Punt PIIf 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 PodcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeX9lQupoivDexPioj0b9Fw

On the 23rd July 1983 Diane and her husband Robert drove to the local pub in Coggeshall in Essex called the Woolpack. They had a drink and then travelled home. Diane got out of the car outside her house while Robert parked the car. When Robert went back to the house, Diane had disappeared. 9 days later he walked into the police station and reported his wife as a missing person.

It is our 100th episode this week and I have been taking listener suggestions for the case we should cover. The disappearance of Trevaline Evans has been suggested to me many times. On Saturday the 16th of June 1990, 52 year old Trevaline left her shop, Attic Antiques, in Llangollen and left a note in the window 'Be back in two minutes.' Sadly the shop never reopened and Trevaline has never been seen since. There were many sightings of her that day and the days prior but what happened to her has never been discovered. There have been developments as recently as last year in her case so there is some hope that we may find out what happened to her however we are still asking where is Trevaline Evans?Important information provided by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rlbWImm_iE Crimewatch reconstruction September 1990https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/mystery-disappearance-trevaline-evans-almost-16318987https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/cops-referred-themselves-police-watchdog-16300415http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/1413759.stmhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/11681596/Brother-of-antiques-dealer-missing-for-25-years-says-he-hasnt-given-up-hope-of-finding-her.htmlhttps://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/trevaline-evans-new-appeal-over-8445933https://www.denbighshirefreepress.co.uk/news/15761362.police-rule-out-serial-killer-link-to-trevaline/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 PodcastYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeX9lQupoivDexPioj0b9Fw (https://audioboom.com/posts/7503078-yorkshire-s-unclaimed/edit)

On January 12th 1920, Florence Nightingale Shore boarded a train to take her to the seaside resort of St Leonards in Hastings in Sussex. This was a journey many people took every day but today this one would be different. When the train pulled in at Bexhill a couple of hours later other passengers would realise Florence wasn't reading or sleeping, she was unconscious. She had been beaten around the head with the blunt object. Who would want to murder a celebrated war time nurse who had only lived to help others? Important information provided by: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/http://ealingnewsextra.co.uk/history/truth-of-murder/https://www.nursingtimes.net/news/community-news/nurses-book-sparks-new-nightingale-murder-mystery-drama-21-12-2018/https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9416866.strange-case-of-the-murdered-york-nurse/https://www.pressreader.com/uk/scottish-daily-mail/20181214/282260961555309 Further reading: https://www.amazon.com/Nightingale-Shore-Murder-Death-Heroine/dp/192663585XIf 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 PodcastUpdate Description (https://audioboom.com/posts/7470348-laurence-winstanley/edit)
