Season 4 - Episode 10

DESCRIPTION:

PLEASE LISTEN TO SEASON 4 - EPISODE 9 FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE. 

Following the murder of Michael Gregsten and the rape and attempted murder of Valerie Storie, a call was made to James Hanratty to turn himself in. Scotland Yard had dropped Peter Alphon as a suspect, and after questioning Charles ‘Dixie’ France — police learned that Hanratty had referred to the upstairs back seat of a London Bus, as being a good place to dispose of unwanted goods. This was the exact place the murder weapon had been found (Part 2 of 2).
