Episode Forty Nine, Bessie Sheppard

As Bessie walked along the road, the murderer raised the stake up to shoulder height and brought it down with his full force on her head. The attacker then brought the 4 foot long sharpened fence stake down on her head again….. and again….. and again. The murderer then dragged her body into the ditch at the side of the road so it wouldn’t be seen by passers by.   With many thanks to our guest writer for their help with this episode!   Sources: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Murder-Bessie-Sheppard-True-Story/dp/1497543045 https://www.leftlion.co.uk/read/2016/october/street-tales-a-mansfield-road-murder-8624/ http://www.ournottinghamshire.org.uk/page/the_murder_of_bessie_sheppard?path=0p134p https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/history/tragic-story-behind-rare-murder-6442415 https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/tragic-story-behind-eerie-murder-25900098 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-45651931 https://www.chad.co.uk/news/how-did-bessie-sheppard-really-die-mansfield-author-comes-uncomfortable-conclusion-2244748 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
