Unsolved Cold Cases: Shocking Historical Crimes

Описание: News of the Times Episode 189 | 1843 & 1919
Historical Crime Enigmas
In today’s episode we look at two shocking historical crimes of their day – one which remains unsolved and the other which becomes resolved 41 years later.

In 1843, Harriet Monckton, a pious and steady young lady of 23, is found dead in the church privy. Her body is saturated with prussic acid – more than 30 times the amount needed to kill - but there is no vial found near her, thereby ruling out possible suicide.

In 1919, attractive newly married 25 year old Mamie Stuart lives in a secluded cottage in Wales with her increasingly erratic husband. Mamie tells their landlady her thoughts of leaving to go to see her family. Mamie then simply vanishes. Her violently tempered husband is found to be now residing with his first wife. With no body, no charges can be brought against anyone. But, 41 years later her body is found!

These two unsolved cold cases are today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
