The Murder of Helen Priestly

The Murder of Helen Priestly - Murderous Mondays
News of the Times Episode 275 | 1934
In 1934 Aberdeen, a shocking crime of the murder of Helen Priestly takes place.  Within 15 hours her body is discovered in a potato sack, in a recess under the stairs of a residence of 8 apartments.
Helen’s shoes are clean despite the constant rain and accompanying mud indicating that she must have been killed before the rain started.  The body placement was not there 3 hours before, indicating the killer, with the body, resides within the one of the flats.  The initial take from the crime scene is that Helen was interfered with, pointing the police in the direction of a male suspect. 
With some impressive detective work and forensic evidence, the surprising culprit is found.  We investigate the background, the crime and the capture of the murderer of Helen Priestly in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
