The Mysterious Case of Fred the Head

Ken Davies

Fifty years ago, on March 26th 1971, the body of a young man was found in a secluded spot, an island in the River Trent with extremely limited access. He was buried in a kneeling position, naked except for socks and a wedding ring. His hands and ankles had been bound. So began one of the UK’s most baffling murder mysteries, a grisly crime that has remained unsolved to this day.

  • My new binge cast

    This podcast was featured on Bob Ruff podcast Truth and Justice. I am hooked and have been binge listening this week. It is not only a murder mystery but educational. I am learning a lot about European history and culture. The host is a very good story teller. I have been listening at 1.5 speed to catch up. I love the crowd sourcing type of true crime. So good!!
