They say that in the case of a mysterious death the first 48 hours are critical. If investigators don't get a lead in this time - the chances of solving the crime are greatly diminished.
But what if you don't get a lead in in the first 48 hours, or 48 days.
What if you don't get a lead in 48 years?
Welcome to the mysterious case of Fred the Head - One of the UK's most curious, baffling and unsolved crimes

Episode 50 | The Dossier
I receive a detailed theory from the ex police colleague of the original investigating officer, Peter Hough - and it seems a good place to pause and reflect as we reach the 50th episode and map out the way forward.

Great Podcast
I heard about this podcast on Bob Ruff’s Truth and Justice podcast. He had Ken Davies on the show recently to share his investigative journey to discover Fred’s identity. And what a story it is!!! I started on episode one and kept going. Ken’s style and skill at digging out details had me on the edge of my seat. It’s a GREAT listen for anyone who enjoys true crime and a good mystery. Looking forward to future episodes…..
My new binge cast
This podcast was featured on Bob Ruff podcast Truth and Justice. I am hooked and have been binge listening this week. It is not only a murder mystery but educational. I am learning a lot about European history and culture. The host is a very good story teller. I have been listening at 1.5 speed to catch up. I love the crowd sourcing type of true crime. So good!!
Can’t stop listening!
So many interesting stories uncovered while searching for the identity of a body found decades ago! Thanks to Bob Ruff of Truth and Justice pod for interviewing the creator of this podcast.
