Murder of Edna Harvey

 

On August 28, 1984 smoke was seen coming out of 87-year-old Edna Harvey's home on Finchley Rd. in Ipswich, England. Neighbors would try to get to their elderly neighbor, but could not. She would be found in her charred bed. She had been asphyxiated before her bed was set on fire. 

It's believed that a person or persons broke into Edna's bottom floor flat with the intention of robbing her. It's believed that the murder was not planned as it seemed to be panicked. She may have accidentally interrupted the robbery and her killer panicked and killed her as a result. 

Two men were seen running from the direction of Edna's home. They were seen running towards the center of the town down Finchley Road and along Cemetery Road. The two were not identified and police are keen to interview them and see if they have any information on the case.

Murders of Octavio "Chico" Martinez and Ann Bergman

 

On the night of August 7, 1962 18-year-old Ann Bergman and her roommate Rachel thought that they were going to spend the night at home. That is when 32-year-old Octavio "Chico" knocked on the door and wanted to take Ann out dancing.The two would go to the Town Lounge on 600 West State Street in Rockford, Illinois.

That evening the Town Lounge was having a dancing competition with the first prize being a bottle of pink champagne. Chico would park a block away and the two would go to the competition. The night ended on a happy note as they had won the pink champagne with their moves. The couple would leave around 12:50 a.m.

What people didn't know was that Chico and Ann did not make it to his vehicle. The two were abducted and forced into a vehicle. At 1:20 a.m. just 30 minutes after people saw Chico and Ann the Police Department got a call. 

A truck drive spotted a man's body on a part of Belt Line Rd close to the Kishwaukee intersection. Police would arrive and find Chico's body. He had signs of a struggle and had been shot three times. Once in the shoulder and twice in the chest. He had other wounds and his shoes were scuffed up.

It's believed that Chico struggled with his killer or killers and was shot. It's thought that Chico attempted to leap from the vehicle. The driver then stopped the car and shot Chico two more times and leaving with Ann.

When Chico was identified a frantic search for Ann was done as the couple had been together that morning. The police were able to trace the couple's whereabouts throughout the night except for a seven-minute window where they were forced into a vehicle and driven to the outskirts of town.

Ann would be searched for, but not found for another 6 days in Ogle County. On August 14th a man was walking with his children down a road by his home. He would spot a foot sticking out of the grass along Highway 72 on the east side of  Rock River. It was Ann and unfortantly before the police could notify the family, they found out from the news.

A coroner would conduct and autopsy under a tent placed where she was found. She had injuries including a shattered shoulder and was shot through the heart. It's believed that Ann died the same morning that Chico did. It's possible that Ann was even killed the same time that Chico was and for some reason was transfered to where she was found.

Their case remains unsolved.

April 8, 1866 Evansville, Indiana Jane Doe

 On April 8, 1866, boys playing on Chesnut Street in Evansville, Indiana found toes sticking out of the dirt. Recent rain had washed away and revealed the body of a woman in a shallow grave. Her head was not found with the body. It was believed that she had been dead for at least 2 months. It was strange that she was undiscovered even buried where found because Chestnut St. was a busy street.

Her race was unknown. She was 5'6". She was wearing a nightgown.

In 1873 a Frederick J Smith who used the alias Meyer was indicted for the murder. He had lived in Evansville at the time, but moved by the time he was indicted. 

I'm not sure if she was identified articles would just refer to the woman as the headless woman. I'm not sure if he was convicted or not it just states he was indicted. It doesn't even state why he was suspected.

Lost Media: An Inspector Calls 1948

 

In 1948 at 8:30 at night BBC broadcasted a televised version of the 1945 play An Inspector Calls. Other versions of this play seem to have footage, but this version does not. It's unlikely that footage of this version will ever show up. BBC did lose some films due to deterioration, but it's possible that was not the case with this. It's possible that it was a live play and unlikely recorded.

The plot of An Inspectors Calls is about how a young woman, Eva Smith, had committed suicide in April 1912. An Inspector Goole comes to the Birling residence to interview each family member and their involvement with Eva's suicide.

The Elling Woman

 

In 1938 a bog body of a woman was found in Silkeborg, Denmark. The bog helped somewhat preserve the body and some clothing by the bog. The woman would be termed the Elling Woman. She was around 25-years-old and her sex was hard to identify at first because the front of the body didn't mummify as well as the back. She had died around 350–150 BCE.

Her death was believed to have been unnatural. She was either, executed, sacrificed, or murdered. She was hanged with a leather thong. The thong left a V-shaped ligature in her neck. No other injuries or such were linked to her death. After this, she was placed into the peat bog. 

The woman had an elaborate braid. A sheepskin cape was wrapped over her upper legs, and her legs and feet covered by a different sheepskinn cape. She was also wearing a woven belt around her waist that had a sliding knot.
