Welcome back to Sunday Night Mystery, where we explore intriguing unsolved cases. I'm Brett, and tonight we delve into the chilling 1984 case of Mark Yendell, a British Rail steward whose bloodstained car and body found in Bristol docks revealed a grim fate.
Mark Yendell, a 33-year-old from Bristol, disappeared after his shift at Bristol Temple Meads station. His abandoned car, found near Welsh Back waterfront, had bloodstains and a briefcase with £100. Further investigation revealed more blood near the station. A post-mortem showed Yendell died from head injuries before being dumped in the water.
Despite extensive investigations, no clear motive emerged. Yendell's colleagues described him as reserved, leading to speculation about his personal life. Detectives theorized he was attacked in the car park, his body later dumped in the docks. Arrests were made, including Edward Witt, a friend of Yendell's wife, but charges were dropped, and the case remains unsolved.
Police believed multiple assailants were involved, and despite time passing, the case still haunts investigators. Detectives continue to seek closure for Yendell's family, hoping to uncover the truth behind his tragic death.
Join us next time on Sunday Night Mystery as we explore another baffling case. Stay vigilant, and remember, the truth may be hidden, but it's never truly lost. Thank you for tuning in. If you have any information regarding Mark Yendell's case, please contact local authorities. Stay curious, stay vigilant, and guard yourself against the darkness.

In Episode 17 of "Sunday Night Mystery Case Files," Brett delves into the unresolved disappearance of 13-year-old Genette Tate, who vanished while delivering newspapers in Aylesbeare, Devon, on August 19, 1978. Despite exhaustive searches and investigations, her body was never found, making it one of Britain's longest-running missing person inquiries.
Genette's case has been linked to notorious serial killer Robert Black, who was convicted of murdering several young girls and was in the area at the time of her disappearance. However, insufficient evidence prevented his prosecution for Genette's case. Black died in prison in 2016 before charges could be brought against him for her presumed murder.
Over the years, numerous theories and suspects, including convicted murderer Peter Tobin, have emerged, but none have led to a resolution. Genette's parents passed away without knowing their daughter's fate, and the case remains open. This episode highlights the enduring pain of unresolved cases and the relentless quest for justice.

In Episode 15 of "Sunday Night Mystery," Brett explores the unsolved New Year’s Day murder of Esther Soper in 1976 in Plymouth, Devon. Esther, a 51-year-old devout widow and member of the Plymouth Brethren's Exclusive Order, was found brutally murdered in her home. Her body was discovered by fellow church members after she failed to attend a meeting. She had been bludgeoned with a cider bottle and strangled with her own tights, then wrapped in a curtain.
The investigation initially suggested a robbery, though no valuable items seemed to be missing. Attention focused on a man named Clifford Sparks, who had visited Esther's house days before the murder, but no substantial leads emerged.
Despite extensive police efforts, including tens of thousands of interviews and modern DNA testing, the case remains unsolved. The peculiarities of the crime scene and Esther's strict religious lifestyle add layers of mystery. Today, her murder remains the oldest unsolved homicide in the Devon and Cornwall police files, leaving her family and the community without closure.
