Sunday Night Mystery Episode 53, Stanley Blackmore, The Last Fare

In the quiet village of Bradford Abbas, Dorset, Stanley Blackmore, a reserved taxi driver with a tragic past, mysteriously disappeared on August 2, 1963. That day, he picked up a nervous young soldier who requested a ride to Pen Mill Station and left him with an ominous warning: “Don’t let them find you.”
Stanley never returned home. His taxi was later found abandoned, but there were no signs of struggle. Eight days later, his body was discovered in a ditch near Yetminster, killed by a single stab wound. His valuables remained untouched, suggesting the murder was personal rather than a robbery.
His wife, Lillian Blackmore, uncovered a cryptic letter from a man named Alan Crisp, hinting at a long-held secret debt connected to Stanley’s past—one tied to post-war covert operations and powerful, shadowy figures. As Lillian delved deeper, she realized Stanley had been targeted not for who he was, but for what he knew. His murder was a message, and the real target might still be out there.
Decades later, Stanley Blackmore’s murder remains an unsolved cold case, shrouded in unanswered questions and lost truths.

Sunday Night Mystery Episode 51, Murder on Lovers Lane, Lilian Emily Maude Tharme

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?

Sunday Night Mystery, The Shocking Murder of Winifred Locke

This chapter revisits the tragic case of Winifred Locke, an 80-year-old woman who was brutally murdered in October 1983. Winifred, a widow living with Parkinson's Disease, resided in sheltered accommodation in North Petherton. On the day of the crime, her daughter-in-law, Eva, visited her as usual, unaware it would be their final meeting. The next morning, a staff member at the Baymead Meadow assisted living facility discovered Winifred's body after failing to reach her through the intercom. Winifred had been asphyxiated and sexually assaulted, shocking the close-knit community.
A large-scale investigation led by Detective Superintendent Lew Clark saw more than 1,700 local men interviewed, but the killer was never found. The crime remains unsolved, leaving the community haunted and her family without closure. The motive behind this heinous act against an elderly woman remains a mystery, raising questions about whether it was a crime of opportunity or something more sinister. Despite the passage of time, the pain of Winifred's loss endures, and the quest for justice continues, with the hope that someone might still hold the key to solving this decades-old mystery.

Sunday Night Mystery Episode 48, The Haunting of Wlakley Hill, The Murder of Carmel Gamble

 
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.

Sunday Night Mystery Episode 47, The Cheltenham Axe Murderer, The Death of Constance Aris

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.
