00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:16.879
It speaking from London from the Black
Museum, a museum of death. Yes,

2
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.960
here in the grim stone structure on
the Thames which houses Scotland Yard is

3
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:29.280
a warehouse of homicide, a warehouse
where everyday objects a paper weight, of

4
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:41.960
broken wine bottle, a shaded lamp
all are touched by murder to take his

5
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.520
jackets. Woolen handed is a baby's
garment, dusty with age and only half

6
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.159
completed sleeves are missing, Inspector,
and it still has to be stitched up.

7
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.159
Yes, looks rather pathetic, doesn't
it, Sergeant? It does help?

8
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.200
Yes, got to put it back
to me a test case. I've

9
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:07.760
been needing it before. On today. That jacket's sleeveless and unstitch can be

10
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:22.280
seen in the Black Museum. From
the annals of the Criminal Investigation Department of

11
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.840
the London Police, we bring you
the dramatic stories of the crimes recorded by

12
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:33.400
the objects in Scotland Yard's Gallery of
Death, the Black Museum. In just

13
00:01:33.439 --> 00:02:06.480
the moment, you will hear the
Black Museum starring Awesome Wells now the Black

14
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:30.400
Museum steyn Awesome Wells. But here
we are in the Black Museum, Scotland

15
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.960
Yards, Museum of murder. Herelive
death, dressed in its Sunday best.

16
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.240
Here, for example's the nail file
was once used by a manicurist suprembent Ay

17
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:50.479
finkingails was a beautiful woman, later
used by an insane killer. Here's a

18
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.800
length of cord weighted with lead and
either ends pomis enough to look at,

19
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.159
but lethal in its effect. Is
a weapon of murder. Ah, Heilia

20
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:07.360
says. The jacket muffles and dusty, somewhat inconspicuous in its place on the

21
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.840
shelf, a tragic relic of passion
and violence. I'm going to take you

22
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.759
back quite a few years to a
warm Sunday morning in June of the year

23
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.400
nineteen twenty one. We are outside
a small chapel in the London suburb of

24
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.199
Kensal Rise. The service is not
long ended, and the congregation files slowly

25
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.439
from within. Out of the brilliant
sunshine. A young girl emerges, who

26
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.000
waves till a few friends gathered near
the entrance, and turns along the dusty

27
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.879
yellow road in the direction of the
tarniship. She's gone but half a block,

28
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:46.400
and she hears an unfamiliar voice calling
out to miss Miss. She turns

29
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.000
and finds herself face to face with
a man she has never seen before,

30
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.919
a stocky, broad shouldered young man
with a round face and black penetrating eyes.

31
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.520
I beg your pardon, miss,
I think you'll drop this. Oh,

32
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.400
my him, it is yours?
Then? Oh yes, I wasn't

33
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.439
quite sure. Hate you ever so
much? Oh that's all right. I

34
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.000
don't know what i'd have done if
i'd lost it. Mother never forgiven me.

35
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.639
She gave it to me my twelfth
person. Yet I've had it ever

36
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.560
since. In that case, it
is a good thing. And I happened

37
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:23.319
to be looking your way. Yes, well, I must be old het

38
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:28.040
you again. You're getting towards the
village. Yes, I live on the

39
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.360
other side of the eyes. I'm
going that way myself. Perhaps you wouldn't

40
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:35.680
mind my walking with you, not
at all, Sonny. I thought I

41
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.959
knew most of the posts about these
thoughts, but I don't ever remember seeing

42
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.120
you before. That's not surprising.
I mean, newcomer to kensal rise.

43
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.319
I already been here a few days, and that explains it. Yes,

44
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.519
I've been transferred to the bank here. Oh you're except to be staying long,

45
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.920
No longer than I can help.
I'm trying to save enough money to

46
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:58.560
buy a chicken farm. A chicken
farm, it probably strikes you as being

47
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.399
a queer ambition tell to have,
but I've always wanted one ever since I

48
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.920
was a youngster. I've even got
a small piece of land picked out half

49
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:10.160
an eggre at Clobra in Sussex.
Ciber as a friend who lived there on

50
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.759
the land. Yes, it's a
wonderful spot. I've stayed there for a

51
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.439
week once, and after every minute
of it, well then you've probably learn

52
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.519
more about the place than I do. I mean, had just passed through

53
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.480
it. But that's when I saw
the lamb for sale. How long ago

54
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.800
was that? All? About six
or seven months? Have it's been sold

55
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.800
in the meantime, No, that's
hardly likely. You see, I spoke

56
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.079
to the agent his home years had
already been up for sale two years,

57
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.160
and looked like saying that waiting for
the next ten Oh, I see,

58
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.519
I really hope he knew what he
was talking about. The two walked on

59
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:46.399
in silence for several moments, then
suddenly the young man laughed. I say,

60
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.399
I've been walking along telling you my
inmost secrets, and I haven't even

61
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.360
introduced myself. I was just about
to say the same thing. Well,

62
00:05:54.959 --> 00:06:00.560
the name's Move, Trevor Move,
and mine's evening Rose. Every one calls

63
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.040
me Edie. And that's how it
all began, a romance destined to flower

64
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.480
with all the beauty of young love, only to wither and die of tragic

65
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.480
death. But let us not anticipate, let us follow the course of that

66
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.879
romance, or rather let us pick
out the more pertinent of its developments.

67
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.199
After their first meeting, Trevor Moon
and Evie Rose spent most of their time

68
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.519
in each other's company. For twelve
months, they were rarely seen apart,

69
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.920
and then one evening, while strolling
in the moonlight, Moon asked Stevie to

70
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.319
Mellian, I haven't much you off. You're dying and well, apart from

71
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:39.879
what I put aside from the farmize
no money. But if there is such

72
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:50.959
a thing as loud as I've really
fallen victim to it, Oh time you're

73
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.040
sure it's what you want, my
dear, as easie as it wasn't,

74
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:01.920
I wouldn't have asked you. I
suppose he would. It's just that,

75
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:09.879
said the flat. Well, I
wasn't expecting it. You took me unawares.

76
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.160
I would be quite truthful, darning, I took myself unawares to He

77
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.759
hasn't given me an answer yet.
Now to be or not to be?

78
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:24.120
That is the question. Silly,
of course, how merry you are,

79
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.399
son, you just as soon as
you want you to. But Moon was

80
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.240
in no hurry. The contrary,
he was the type who could not be

81
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.839
hustled, and a further twelve months
passed, during which time he remained as

82
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.959
devoted as ever, but appeared singularly
reluctant to take the proverbial plunge. Easy,

83
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.720
on the other hand, became more
impatient as the days went by,

84
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.199
and when informed by her suitor that
he had at last saved enough money to

85
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.199
leave the bank and purchased his precious
chicken farm in Sussex, her emotions gave

86
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:56.680
them to words, Oh, trebble, I'm so tired of all this waiting.

87
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.879
How much longer was we going like
this? Just a few men,

88
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.480
darling, till I get the farms
straightened, eyes and ready for business.

89
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.000
But why com'ping me married right away? Till I a shop your straightening down?

90
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.920
You can help me, immerse,
darling by being just a little more

91
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.199
patient at the moment I get things
in order down at Crowborough. I was

92
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.279
sent for you. Let's a promise, so Evie had to consent to go

93
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.959
on waiting. Two weeks later,
matters having been settled, Moon busy sweetheart

94
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.040
a fawn, farewell and left for
Sussex. A month passed and no word

95
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.600
from him. Evie had done her
best to be patient as hee he dies,

96
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.720
but this was too much. Packing
a bag, she took a train

97
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.679
for Crowborough, and, upon reaching
a destination, checked in at the local

98
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.759
inn, but she made inquiries as
to the location of the Moon property.

99
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.720
Within the hour, she was knocking
at the door of a small shack on

100
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:56.320
the outskirts of the village. Evie
shall a darlick. She don't be angry

101
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.399
with me, but God to see
you. Ask how did you get here?

102
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.159
By train? I had to come, darny. If I've waited another

103
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.960
day, i'd i'd have got out
of my mind. It's been you can't

104
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.360
stay here. You'll realize that why
I don't have to stay at the hotel.

105
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.360
No, you're touching the next train
back home. I'll walk to the

106
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.279
station. No, trigger, No, I'm not going. You're not going.

107
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.879
I'm staying in Kroger till I'm marriage. I see, and if I

108
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.320
happen to decide against going through with
it, I must prad you haven't haven't

109
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.879
any alternative? Triver? Why you
see I'm going to have a child,

110
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:54.120
your child, Well you'd better stay. The scene changes just three months later,

111
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.879
we're in the office of the Kromer
a police station. Constable's Harris and

112
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:07.960
Vernon for playing checkers. Oh,
didn't see that one coming him? Playing

113
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.919
for that a while? Alarm puts
me in a bit of a spot.

114
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.960
Hey, does that all right?
Right enough? I'll get it. No

115
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.080
fancy moves one and back's to neither
do you? If I will? It

116
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.840
wouldn't be the first time over at
police Staton comfortable out of his feeling.

117
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:37.039
What's that? Yes? Yes,
hold of a pickle? I get me

118
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:43.600
no book and take down a few
particulars. Now, what name was it

119
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:54.720
again? Rose? Missus Lena Rose? Yeah, and the missing girl daughter

120
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:07.360
Evelyn known as Evie andres fourteen miles
of variet kindle Rise years? How long

121
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.519
has your thought have been going,
Missus Rose? Since seventy morning? I

122
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.440
see, Yes, we'll let you
do with the prison, Missus Rose.

123
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.639
You'll be hearing promise. Yeah,
that's right, Yes, good night,

124
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.919
ma'am. Trouble how now it won't
keep now? A missing girl, that's

125
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.399
all. But Constable Hallis was in
error. It was not simply a case

126
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.159
of another missing girl who disappeared for
a few days. There's a case of

127
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:50.559
a missing girl who disappeared for good
today. Evidence of that fact can be

128
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:58.679
seen here in the Black Museum.
In just a moment, we will continue

129
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:11.360
with the Black Museum starring awesome Wells. And now we continue with the Black

130
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:26.399
Museum starring awesome Wells. Just another
missing girl. Yes, that's how the

131
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.679
reported disappearance of ev Rose was first
described. Nothing particularly unusual about such a

132
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.960
report. Almost every day of the
week, someone or other vanishes without any

133
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.279
apparent reason or cause to show up
again in due course, the perfectly simple

134
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:45.799
explanation for the supposedly mysterious absence.
But of course there's always the exception,

135
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.000
which is why the police wasted little
time as possible in checking up on such

136
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.440
matters. So it was that the
following day Missus Lena Rose received a visit

137
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.919
from Sergeant Cross as the Crower Police
station. Well, then, Missus Rose,

138
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.639
let's get the fact. Wait,
tall we according to this report you

139
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.480
had brought her left home early on
Saturday morning. That's right, Sergeant.

140
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.759
Two days ago she told us she
was going out of Clobra for the day.

141
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.960
Cobra, he's a visit, has
to answer. He has a chicken

142
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.360
farm there had a very big one. I understand he only bought it a

143
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.639
few months ago. But she's doing
very well. You've been in touch with

144
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.080
him, I take it. Oh, yes, he said he was expecting

145
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.519
easy for lunch on Saturday, but
she didn't arrive. Was she in the

146
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.879
habit of visiting him often? No. Several weeks ago she went down to

147
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.759
see how he was getting long.
That was was the only time she returned

148
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.759
the same name get in time for
tea. I come to think of it,

149
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:46.159
just about that time that she changed
so changed. Yes, she used

150
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.919
to be such a hatty sort of
girl, you know, A was laughing

151
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.679
and joking, and then suddenly she
became moody, sullen, and so as

152
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.279
if something was worrying her, something
she couldn't speak of, even to me.

153
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.759
I have no idea what it could
have been. I suppose. Oh,

154
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.360
well, perhaps I shouldn't tell you
this, but I had a feeding.

155
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.000
It has something to do with Trevor
Trevor Trevor Moon had thence, Oh

156
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.559
what kind of something, missus Rose. Well, that's what heavy puzzle.

157
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.039
I just come to an agent.
Trefford was such a nice boy and so

158
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.240
fond of Ev. I'm quite sure
he wouldn't have done or said anything to

159
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.080
hurt her, well, not intentionally, that is. How long have they

160
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.919
been keeping company? All? About
two and a half years? As long

161
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.240
as that? Eh? And when
were they to be married? Well,

162
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.759
I'm not sure, sergeant. Besides, I know they haven't actually set at

163
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:45.480
date. I see, well,
I think I might pop down the crow

164
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.120
but I don't have a chat with
mister Moon. He may be aboko on

165
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.600
me something. Thanks for your help, Missus Rose, and don't worry,

166
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.240
we'll find your daughter. You're probably
be hearing from me again in a day

167
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.399
two. With an encouraging smile,
Sergeant Cross took his leave at the anxious

168
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.320
mother and said for the railway station, of thoughtful expression crowding his wrinkled brow.

169
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.720
That same expression was still present when
he stepped from the train on the

170
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.480
platform at Crowborough and headed along the
lonely lane that led to the Moon Chicken

171
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.080
farm. The gate was open,
and seeing no one about. He made

172
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:22.360
his way up to the front doors
with shacked not. Yes, mister Moon,

173
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.879
that's right. I'm sergeant Cross,
so I wonder if you could spare

174
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:33.559
a few months. Your silent fire
means sergeants come right in place. Is

175
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.200
in a bit of a mess?
I'm afraid that's all right. Sit down,

176
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.320
yer, thanks. I suppose you
know why I'm here. Well,

177
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.679
I have a fair idea. It's
about ev Rose, isn't it. Yes,

178
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.399
still near a signpa, I'm afraid
not. There are just a few

179
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.799
questions i'd like to ask you,
mister Moon, ut thine, you understand

180
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.519
nothing more. But of course I've
just come from kencel Rise. I've been

181
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.879
talking to missus Rose, who gave
me full of details. She's only the

182
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.120
sight of her mind with worry.
Well, under the circumstances, I think

183
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.320
she's taken it very well. I
understand that you and the missing girl and

184
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.000
engaged to be married, that's heir, and that she was on her way

185
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.759
down here to visit you when she
disappeared. Yes, I was at the

186
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.120
station to meet her, but she
wasn't on the train. What train was

187
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.559
that? The eleven o'clock I waited
an hour for the next one, but

188
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.879
she wasn't on that either, So
I came back home. Were you worried

189
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.720
at all? No? Not,
And Julia I just assumed she'd changed her

190
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.039
mind about coming. You didn't think
it's odd that you hadn't heard from her?

191
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.080
No, I can't say I did. How long is it since you

192
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.559
last saw her? Oh? Roughly
speaking about for two months? That was

193
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.120
when she last visited you. Yes, she only came here once. And

194
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.799
I see, how did she seem
then? How did you mean? Well?

195
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.399
Did she seem depressed or worried about
it? Nothing? Not that I

196
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:57.639
can recall. No why, Oh, no particular reason. Not for one

197
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:03.119
second during the intellgame did Sergeant Cross
shift his gaze from Moon's face. He

198
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.319
had never trusted black eyes, and
he wasn't quite sure he liked the look

199
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:12.200
of this young fellow. But despite
this, the inscrutable mister Moon gave no

200
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.440
indication that he knew any more about
the missing Evil Rose than he was ready

201
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:22.519
to admit, and certainly did not
appear to have anything to hide. It's

202
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.880
the country. In fact, Back
at the Krograth police station later that same

203
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.319
day, Cross admitted as much to
his superior to visional Inspector Broughton. So

204
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.960
you think you so all he knows
as Argant. Well, so let's just

205
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.680
say that he gave me that impression. It was those black eyes of his

206
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.720
that set me thinking, sure,
you've got a shifty look about them.

207
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.880
You can hardly hold the color of
a man's eyes against his. His sergeants

208
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.519
perhaps not said even so, I
think the best thing we can do at

209
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.279
the stage is to give the newspapers
the photograph of the missing girl and the

210
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.640
description of the coach he was wearing
on the day of a disappearance. Just

211
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.359
as you say that, I'll attend
to it right away. First it was

212
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.519
that a photo graph of ev Rose, together with a description, found its

213
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:10.519
way onto the front page of three
London newspapers. Well that should do the

214
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.200
trick. Yes, let's hip,
says Argent. Two weeks past, during

215
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.160
which time no information regarding missing girl
was forthcoming. Yet a third week went

216
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.440
by and still there was no trace
for d. V. Rose, Well

217
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:30.119
Sardan, which as if we've borne
a blank her. What's to do now,

218
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.359
that's the question. I think I
might pay your friend miss the Moon

219
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.680
visit by that if you'll get much
more from him than I got. Possibly

220
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:44.200
not no harm. In trying to
this day, Inspector Broughton could not say

221
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.119
exactly why he so suddenly decided to
pay Moon a call. Perhaps it was

222
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.279
the prompting of fate. Perhaps he
acted simply on a blind impulse. Whatever

223
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.480
it was, he wasted no time
about it, and that same afternoon he

224
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.880
made his way out to the moon
Fire found Borne seated on the narrow land,

225
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.799
thoughtfully puffing at a much smoked play. Hello, you are another of

226
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.839
those tempoor reporters you can go to. No, No, I'm not a

227
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.000
reporter. Well that's a relief anyway. He'd been showing up here in a

228
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.279
says stream for the past three weeks. Is that a fact? Yes,

229
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.640
you know. I'm convinced they really
believe I'm murdered that girl, that easy

230
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.799
rose, prying fools that they are, the way they asked questions to think

231
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:33.000
I was on trial. Yes,
bes you are. But I mean I

232
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.000
think you will know more than you're
telling. Why should facing that? No,

233
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.960
he was supposed to be on a
way to visit you and she disappeared.

234
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.319
It doesn't mean I'm murderer, No, I mean anyone could have done

235
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:49.759
it, done one murderer who said
she was murdered? Why? No,

236
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:55.920
one not in so many words.
But that's what they're inferred, those special

237
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.160
reporters. You're sure you're not imagining
it. Of course I'm not imagining it.

238
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.160
Oh I should I imagine it?
Whoa? Why should you? Indeed,

239
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.599
you're shy on not a reporter?
Quite sure? Who are you?

240
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:15.720
Then? Oh, they're okay,
I'm a detective detective, His thicker pardons

241
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:25.240
the name. Oh well, I'm
I'm gad it's not inspect that what caught

242
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.680
you here? Oh? I just
want to ever look about the place,

243
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.519
quite clearly, answered him. I
suppose you wanted to question me too,

244
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.559
Well, thank you. I did
want to, but I don't want to

245
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:40.400
anymore. I think you're giving me
all the answers I need. With a

246
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.519
nod, the inspector turned and walked
back down the path. He didn't look

247
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.880
back, but he could feel Moon's
eyes staring after him, the eyes that

248
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.880
had told him so much, so
convincingly. It's just like that, almost

249
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.799
like the sort of stuff one reads
in a cheap detective fiction magazine. Well

250
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:03.440
this was cheap. It wasn't fiction. Was life life, and its first

251
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:08.160
is suit that was quick, Inspector, how do you make us you could

252
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:12.400
kill us? And we yes,
I'm sure that as I am, I

253
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.559
think that we'll see the end of
the v reast case to night. You

254
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:17.759
think he killed it, well if
he didn't like NI to be out of

255
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:19.839
a job. And I've benn know
of your chime because I'm thanking everything on

256
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:25.000
the huntspit he did my repetition included, and don't ask me why if I

257
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.160
told you your t is mad.
We're wasting valuable time. Con get a

258
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.000
squad together. We got work to
do. Work. We're off back the

259
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.559
Moon's place and they're gonna search every
inch of it. If we don't find

260
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.400
anything inside the house, we start
on the ground. And even if we

261
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.440
dig all night, Pargeant, we're
gonna keep on digging to the strike oil.

262
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.160
So less than an hour later,
Inspector Broughton was back at the chickilar

263
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.079
a touch across and four constables,
but the shack was searched from top to

264
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:53.599
bottom and finding nothing on the inside, they started on the outside with picks

265
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.759
and shovels and everything. A good
lader hands on, Broughton was risking his

266
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.880
career on an intangib impulse and he
hear wis so he didn't think it was

267
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.440
much of this nothing so far,
and inspect up, we've got a lot

268
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.960
of ground to cover yet. O. I hope you're not making a mistakes

269
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.079
that I am. But if I
am, you and up a boy,

270
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.359
and you promise you that I wasn't
thinking of don't worry about me. My

271
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.359
shoulders are broad enough. The deking
continued, but it was too dark to

272
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.960
see. Lanterns were lift four hours
slipped by, and Eaton brought was ready

273
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:33.920
to throw in us all and ye
inspect, Mmmm, what is it doing?

274
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.640
Just look what handsome has dug up
the head against want to get a

275
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.319
knifel of the initials on it.
And he seems as if your hunch might

276
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.200
have been right after all. Yeah, come on, open it up.

277
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.599
Maybe it's something in it right,
Well, it doesn't feel like it.

278
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:55.720
Hello, what's this? Looks like
a jacket of zamzor a baby's jacket.

279
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.720
That's what it is, all right, only half complete it seeleaves are missing

280
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.359
and it too has to be stitched
up. Yes, looks rather pathetic,

281
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.079
doesn't it, Garden it does her? Yes? Better put it back in

282
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:12.599
the case. Probably rending it.
Before long, with the discovery of the

283
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:18.319
attache case, the search was renewed
with an added vigor, and stray articles

284
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.880
of clothing were brought to light one
by one, clothes identical to those worn

285
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.880
by the missing girl on the day
of a disappearance. A green scarf,

286
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:32.960
a yellow jumper, a brown skirt, had leather shoes, a brown beret.

287
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.480
Doesn't leave much to the imagination and
specked up. Yeah, not much.

288
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.119
But we still had to find the
body. Yes, they still had

289
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:47.480
to find a body. But they
thought it couldn't be far away, and

290
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:52.000
they were right, except that it
wasn't a body, but rather a scattering

291
00:23:52.039 --> 00:24:03.279
of bits and pieces at once had
been a body. Confronted with the evidence,

292
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.400
Trevor Moon made no attempt to deny
the charge of murder that was subsequently

293
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:12.000
leveled at him. He seemed,
in fact, somewhat relieved to relate his

294
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.799
gruesome story of how he had sent
for if he rose and, knowing that

295
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:21.599
she was soon to bear his child, strangled her, later dismembering her body

296
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:26.960
and burying it together with her clothing
and the Attacha case, the contents of

297
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:37.359
which today occupies its place in the
