Mums Mysteries & Murder

Trigger warning: dismemberment is mentioned in this episode In 1935, in the town of Moffat, a young woman was out on a walk with her Mother and noticed a bundle wrapped in cloth, which on first glance looked like nothing much, but on further investigation, there were over 70 different body parts wrapped in cloth and newspaper scattered all around the area. Many historians describe it as one of the first truly modern forensic investigations.   We also talk about what were watching - SO MUCH! The problem with changing your name to something difficult to pronounce & many, many penpal stories.

* This episode has a few audio issues, but we know you dont listen to MM&M for perfection so we know you'll love it regardless.   This is down to the fact probably that it was not edited by our beloved editor Erin. Early on the morning of New Year's Day in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood in 1963  2 young boys out looking for golf balls got more than they bargained for when they discovered the half-naked body of a man partially covered by his clothes which had been thrown over the top of him alongside a square of carpet beside a river in a secluded tree-lined area. At first, the boys thought he was a drunk party leftover from New Year's, but soon discovered things were slightly more sinister. We bet you'll never guess whodunit! This is a particularly intriguing, very well-known case in Australia with some very interesting characters.
