Sunday Night Mystery

The tragic and chilling case of Lilian Emily Maude Tharme, a mother of four, remains one of Poole, Dorset’s most haunting unsolved murders. On January 17th, 1960, Lilian’s naked, battered body was found face down in the snow on Wheelers Lane, known locally as Lovers Lane. Her scattered clothing and an abandoned stolen green Morris car nearby hinted at a calculated and cruel crime. The night before, Lilian attended a dance at a local Territorial Army drill hall. There, she was seen arguing with a man described as middle-aged, round-faced, and wearing a camel-hair coat. Witnesses noted her visible distress after the argument. Alone and uneasy, Lilian left the event, walking into the cold night—unaware of the horror that awaited her. Evidence suggests Lilian may have encountered the stolen Morris 1000, potentially driven by her killer. Whether she accepted a ride or was forcibly taken remains unknown. The killer struck her with the car, abducted her, and inflicted further brutal violence before abandoning her alive in the freezing cold, where hypothermia ultimately claimed her life. The investigation led to multiple suspects, including the man from the dance and a mysterious figure in a fawn-colored raincoat, but no one was ever charged. The psychological profile of the killer suggests deep, dark motives—possibly rejection, control, or escalating violent tendencies. Decades later, Lilian Tharme’s murder remains unsolved, leaving a community haunted by unanswered questions: Who killed Lilian Tharme? Was it someone she knew? Or a predator lurking in the shadows? 🔍 #UnsolvedMystery #TrueCrime #ColdCase #LilianTharme #PooleMurder #JusticeForLilian #TrueCrimeCommunity #MurderMystery #CrimeStory #DarkHistory   Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.

Courtney Davies, a ruthless crime figure shaped by childhood trauma, was brutally murdered in the Forest of Dean—stabbed 72 times and set on fire. His life of violence and paranoia had created many enemies, yet the police quickly zeroed in on Malcolm Martin, a deaf-mute man who had long been in Davies’s shadow. Exploited for his silence, Malcolm was charged with the crime despite inconsistencies in the evidence and his alibi. As the trial unfolded, doubts surfaced about his guilt, suggesting Davies’s true killer might still be at large. The case remains a haunting mystery, with the forest holding its secrets.   Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.

  The story of Carmel Gamble unfolds in the serene town of Stroud, where the quiet beauty is shattered by a brutal murder on November 12, 1989. At 43, Carmel lived a secluded life, burdened by a long battle with anorexia, and was rarely seen by neighbors. On November 9, she was spotted with an unrecognized man, whose unsettling demeanor left a lasting impression before he vanished. Two days later, Carmel was reported missing after she left a shop. When firefighters arrived at her cottage the morning of November 12, they discovered her beaten and mutilated body amidst a fire that appeared to be an attempt to destroy evidence rather than the cause of death. The crime scene bore signs of a methodical killer, using paraffin to fuel the flames. Despite extensive investigations, including witness sightings and a mysterious phone call reporting the fire, the identity of Carmel’s killer remains elusive. Theories about the man seen with her and possible motives—ranging from a personal vendetta to opportunistic violence—have circulated for years without resolution. Two convicted murderers became persons of interest but were never linked to the case. Today, Walkley Hill continues to thrive, yet the memory of Carmel’s tragic end lingers, leaving behind haunting questions that may never be answered. The podcast concludes with a call for information, hoping that someone might hold the key to finally bringing closure to this chilling mystery.

The Cheltenham Axe Murder In February 1985, the peaceful town of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, was shaken by the brutal murder of 73-year-old widow Constance Aris in her Roman Road home. Discovered by her son Keith, her injuries indicated a savage, calculated attack by an assailant wielding an axe or hatchet. The lack of forced entry suggested the killer was either known to Constance or had slipped inside unnoticed. On the night of February 27, Constance attended a Friendly Society meeting, returning home shortly after. Her house appeared undisturbed, but her death bore marks of personal and emotional violence, ruling out a simple burglary. Missing items like a pension book and jewelry seemed to be distractions rather than motives. The dense fog that night obscured witnesses and muffled sounds, aiding the killer. Despite extensive investigations, no suspect was identified, and the weapon was never found. A similar murder in nearby Bristol raised questions about a possible link, but no conclusive connection was established. Decades later, the case remains unsolved, leaving Constance’s family haunted by unanswered questions. Authorities hope advancements in forensic science or new information might one day provide justice for Constance and her loved ones.

  "Inferno in Cornwall: The Penhallow Hotel Mystery" recounts the tragic fire at the Penhallow Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, on August 18, 2007, which claimed three lives: Monica Hughes, her son Peter, and Joan Harper. As the hotel was engulfed in flames, guests struggled to escape through smoke-filled corridors, and firefighters battled what became the worst hotel fire in Britain in 30 years. An investigation revealed potential arson as the possible cause, primarily centred around the hotel bar, though definitive evidence was lacking. In 2011, the hotel's owners admitted to violating health and safety protocols, leading to a fine, but families felt this did not adequately address their loss. An inquest returned open verdicts for the victims, with key hotel staff refusing to cooperate, raising further suspicions. Amidst the investigation, a link to notorious serial arsonist Karen Pedley emerged, yet the connection was not thoroughly explored. The lack of clear culpability—whether it stemmed from negligence or malicious intent—remains uncertain, leaving many questions unanswered. The tragedy of the Penhallow Hotel fire underlines the frailty of life and the complexities of accountability, with justice still elusive for the victims and their families. The story emphasizes a haunting mystery that continues to provoke thought about human errors and darker motives behind life-altering events.

The story "Echoes of the Night: The Tragedy of Ray Anstey" revolves around the brutal murder of Ray Anstey, a beloved steward at the Pennycross Sports and Social Club, in September 1988. On the night of September 29th, after closing the club, Ray was attacked by two assailants who stabbed him multiple times, leaving his body in the lavatory. The following morning, workers discovered the gruesome scene, with signs suggesting robbery, as cash and Ray's personal belongings, including a cherished family photograph and a distinctive ring, were missing.

As the years passed, hope for resolution remained, with modern forensic technology potentially holding the key to uncovering the truth. Ray Anstey's murder serves as a chilling reminder of the fragility of life and the darkness that can lurk in seemingly peaceful settings.   Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.

    In 1949, Gertrude Dorothea O'Leary, a kind and well-known shopkeeper in Bristol, was brutally murdered in her own shop. Found battered and strangled in her parlour, her death appeared to be a robbery, with items like money, a gold wristwatch, and a pendant missing. Despite extensive investigations, no clear evidence pointed to a suspect, and the brutality of the crime suggested more than just theft, it hinted at personal motives or a vendetta.   Clues, like a bloodstained quart flagon and ransacked rooms, only deepened the mystery, with witnesses reporting suspicious characters near her shop. As the investigation unfolded, the lack of solid leads and the complexity of her life, which included whispers of hidden secrets and grudges, made the case even more confounding. The murder remained unsolved, leaving behind numerous unanswered questions: Was Gertrude hiding something that led to her death? Did someone close to her betray her? What significance did the stolen items hold? Despite the investigation stretching across different locations, the case eventually went cold, raising questions about overlooked details or modern investigative tools that could have reopened it. Gertrude's murder continues to haunt the community, a reminder of how hidden motives and personal histories can shape tragic events.   Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.

The case of Jo Ramsden, detailed in Sunday Night Mystery Episode 37, centers around the tragic disappearance and murder of a vulnerable woman in 1991. Jo, who had the mental age of a 10-year-old, vanished from her home in Dorset, and her body was discovered nearly a year later in a remote woodland area. Witnesses reported seeing Jo with a man wearing a distinctive zig-zag patterned jumper, who became known as "Mr. Zig Zag." A key suspect was a retired psychiatric nursing assistant with a history of crimes against vulnerable women, but despite his past confessions and mounting suspicion, there was insufficient evidence to charge him with Jo’s murder.

This episode of Sunday Night Mystery explores the unsolved murder of 71-year-old Les Bate in the peaceful village of Chapel Amble, North Cornwall, in 2002. Known for its lack of violent crime for centuries, the village was shaken by Les's brutal killing, which remains a mystery to this day. Les, a self-made millionaire and a regular at the local pub, the Maltsters Arms, lived a quiet life on his farm after the death of his wife. On a Friday night in April 2002, he left the pub for his home, only to be found dead two days later by his son, Martin. His death was the result of a sustained beating, with injuries suggesting a violent and deliberate attack. Despite a thorough investigation and an inquest a decade later, the motive and identity of the killer remain unknown. Theories range from robbery—Les had been burgled seven months prior—to a personal vendetta, possibly tied to his abrasive personality and conflicts in the community. There was no forced entry, leading to speculation that the killer was someone Les trusted or someone familiar with his routine. Evidence, such as fibers found on his clothing, provided limited leads, and advances in DNA technology have yet to yield breakthroughs. The case has left both Les's family and the village grappling with the possibility that the killer might still live among them. Despite the passage of time, Les's daughter Kathy holds onto hope for justice, while the case serves as a chilling reminder that even the most tranquil communities can harbor dark secrets.

In tonight's episode of Sunday Night Mystery, Brett explores the case of Suzy Lamplugh. Suzy Lamplugh, a young and ambitious estate agent, disappeared in 1986 after a scheduled meeting with a mysterious client known only as "Mr. Kipper." Suzy was last seen outside a property in Fulham, London, with a man who appeared suspiciously involved in her disappearance. Later that day, her car was found abandoned with her purse inside, but crucial items like her keys were missing, suggesting foul play. Several witnesses observed Suzy with a man fitting the description of a convicted rapist and murderer, John Cannan, who soon emerged as a prime suspect due to his similar appearance to the identikit sketch and his history of violence toward women. Cannan had been released on day leave from prison near the time of her disappearance and reportedly frequented the same bars as Suzy, further fueling suspicion. Yet, despite extensive investigations, no definitive evidence has linked him to the crime. Years later, Cannan was convicted of a separate murder and remains imprisoned. He has denied involvement in Suzy’s disappearance, though he has hinted he may one day reveal more about her case. The mystery around "Mr. Kipper," Suzy's last hours, and Cannan's involvement has left Suzy’s family and the public haunted by questions and longing for answers. Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.       Check Out our Patreon page at www.patreon.com/sundaynightmystery #BankVaultMystery #BristolBankerMurder #LloydsBankTragedy #SundayNightMurder #TrueCrimeBristol #VaultOfSecrets #DarkBankerSecrets #BehindClosedDoorsCrime #WhodunitPodcast #bullion #MysteriousBankerMurder#CinemaMurder #BristolMystery #SundayNightMurder #OdeonTragedy #TrueCrimeBristol #DarkCinemaSecrets #BehindTheScreensCrime #MurderAtTheMovies #WhodunitPodcast #bristol #westcountry #bristolmurder #reading #serialkiller #goldfinger #johnpalmer #tenerife #gold #brinksmat #murder #truecrime #history #bristol #mystery #night #unsolved #solved #stapleton #child #killer #killers #dead #podcast #plymouth #brethren #bath #charity #stabbed #katebushell #lindabryant #helenfleet #keithburgess #lindamillard #melaniehall #evanjones #melanieroad #melaniehall #bath #somerset #wiltshire #missing #evanjones #barryRubery #bristoldocks #markyendell #winifredlocke #louisedunn #WayneLomas #AshaBostan #annmyring #susandate #christinedruce #suzylamplugh    

Tonight we explore the tragic case of Christine Druce and the mystery surrounding her disappearance. In 1976, Christine Druce, a well-liked young woman from Bristol, disappeared after being last seen leaving the Moulin Rouge nightclub. Despite an extensive search, weeks passed without any trace of her. In April, her body was tragically found drowned in the Bristol city docks, leaving her family and community devastated. The police launched a thorough investigation, focusing on the nightclub and interviewing witnesses, but they faced significant challenges due to the time that had passed and the lack of concrete evidence.
