Ep 170170: Omar Killed Me | France

E

The body of socialite Ghislaine Marchal was found inside her home in Mougins. She had been bludgeoned to death. She seemed to have left a clue, written in her own blood: Omar m’a tuer – Omar killed me. Omar was her gardener. What was curious was a grammatical error in the phrase. Why would a native French speaker like Ghislaine Marchal make such a mistake in her last moments alive? Did someone else write the clue, hoping to frame an innocent man?Sponsors: Noom - sign up for your trial and get psychology-based support to lose the weight for good at noom.com/evidencelocker Stitch Fix – Personal styling for women & men go to Stitchfix.co.uk/evidence For pictures and more information, join us on Facebook Want to support our podcast?

Ep 154154: The Murder of Dr Helen Davidson | England

E

On a gloomy November afternoon in 1966, 49-year-old Dr Helen Davidson, a beloved GP, was bashed to death in Hodgemoor Wood while birdwatching. Her body was found the following day and as soon as news of her murder hit her hometown the rumour mill began to churn. Who would kill the beloved doctor? Did she stumble across something she shouldn’t have seen? Or was the murder personally motivated – what was at play: jealousy, vengeance perhaps? To this day, the case with more suspects than convictions remains unsolved. It is a true murder mystery, a whodunnit that played out rather more like an Agatha Christie mystery than a real-life crime.Sponsor: Trip CBD: To take a TRIP to happy days go to drink-trip.com.
