11-year-old Philip Green disappeared after leaving his home in Sea Mills. His body was later found on a snow-covered golf course near Shirehampton. The investigation became one of Bristol’s largest murder inquiries, involving thousands of statements, appeals to football crowds, suspected sightings, a community reward fund, and decades of unanswered questions…

Stephen Milligan was a rising Conservative MP when he was found dead in bizarre and controversial circumstances inside his London home. What initially appeared to be a tragic accident quickly spiralled into a shocking political scandal, raising questions about secrecy, morality, and whether something far more sinister was being concealed…

The text detailed a remarkable opportunity. A unique one-off property ripe for modernisation, offering adaptable accommodation in a pretty hamlet five minutes from Ashbourne town centre. The home included a sitting room, a second reception room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a half-cellar/workshop, two bedrooms, a large landing suitable for conversion to a third bedroom, a rear garden, a former stable block, a coal store and a garden shed, all for the price of £69,950. However, nowhere in the listing was there mention of the ghosts who were said to live there… 

The man and his dog rambled through the North York Moors towards a stream just outside Danby. Like many locals, they regularly enjoyed walking through the scenic heather-covered moorland. There were always areas off the beaten path where they had never set foot and never saw a soul. That day was different. As they got close to the stream, the man spotted something in the water…

The tide was starting to come in, and the sun was setting over Saltburn-by-the-Sea in North Yorkshire. A woman sat on a bench on the promenade, waiting for her son to join her so they could walk home together. Quite often, the sea was dotted with surfers, but not that day. The woman pulled her jacket tightly to shield herself from the icy coastal winds as she stopped and waited…

A quiet man in his 50s, leading a simple life of gardening and visits to the pub, is brutally murdered in his own home. DNA, a shoe print from a rare type of trainer and CCTV footage are all left behind. Who would target this unassuming man? What sinister motive lurks behind this calculated act of extreme violence? And how could someone leave behind such a clear trail of evidence yet somehow elude justice?…

Kitty Bradley hadn’t seen her elderly neighbours open the shop that morning. She knew they weren't abroad for Christmas as it was their most profitable period of the year. Uneasy, Kitty called the police and reported her concerns. She was right to do so because when officers forced their way into the property, they discovered one of the most troubling crime scenes Birmingham had ever seen… 

After school, Shelley’s children got onto the bus, but unusually, their mother was not waiting for them at the end of the journey. The children were independent enough to make their way home from the bus stop, although when they arrived, they realised their mother was not there, and the front door was locked…

The dog seemed determined to get to something in the undergrowth, and much to his owner’s annoyance, he pulled relentlessly against the lead. Curiosity got the better of his handler. What was his pet so interested in? As he entered the copse, the officer almost stumbled over the partially naked body of a young woman…

The train pulls into the platform on time. When the doors open, the passengers file out and begin heading for the exit. A boy walks through the crowd with purpose. His eyes scan the concourse, and he makes his way to the automatic doors. He leaves the station, and is never seen again….

A motorist became curious when he noticed something in a lay-by on the A464 road east of Shifnal to Wolverhampton. It was 9.30 on a cold winter’s morning. In a split-second decision, the driver decided to pull in to get a closer look. When he explored the undergrowth, he came to the realisation that he was looking at a dead body. It appeared as though a half-hearted attempt was made to cover the remains. Bushes had been placed to shield some of the body from prying eyes. Whoever had done it hadn't taken the time to thoroughly conceal the victim who bore the marks of being badly beaten…
