Beneath the polite facade of 20th-century Britain, dark secrets festered. Missing, Murder Suspected breathes life into three disturbing true crime cases, meticulously reconstructed from courtroom whispers, yellowed letters, and the cold precision of forensic reports.

Austin Stone’s storytelling is unflinching, stripping away speculation and rumor to expose raw, unsettling truth. His son, Edmund, has masterfully preserved and curated his father’s final work, ensuring each case unfolds with the eerie precision of a detective’s casebook.

• The first, “Love and Hate amongst the Chickens,” was publicly known as ‘The Chicken Run Murder’ of 1924, where John Norman Thorne murdered his fiance, Elsie Cameron.
• “A House of Horror“: Also based on the true crime known as “The Buck Ruxton Jig-Saw Murders” of 1935. This crime involved the double murders by Dr. Buck Ruxton of his wife Isabella and her nursemaid Mary Rogerson.
• The third, “Four Sacks for a Shroud,” is about the ‘Luton Sack Murder’ of 1943, where, during WW2, a London fireman, Bertie Manton, was driven into a killing rage by his wife, Rene.

These stories are not fiction—they are the echoes of real lives fractured by crime and fate. Missing, Murder Suspected invites you to witness the fragile line between justice and uncertainty.
