The Case of the Discovered Teeth

The Case of the Discovered Teeth
News of the Times Episode 364  | 1913
In today’s episode it is 1913 and we are in a small village in Dorset with a population of 160.
A 24 year old cook who works in the manner house has gone missing.  Where has she gone?  It is the gossip that consumes the whole of the village.  Speculation is rife that she has gone to London for a job or that she emigrated to Canada.  Her distraught mother does not believe it.
And then, a series of events occurs to create suspicion.  Some boys in the woods spot a newly dug hole that suspiciously looks like a grave.  A few days later it has been filled in.
A dairy farmer taking a shortcut on an isolated path spots some false teeth on the ground.  Thinking nothing of it, he picks them up and places them on his mantelpiece, thereby drawing the attention of the visiting rector.
From there, the body of Winnie is found.  But who committed the murder in this small village where everyone knows everyone else and why did they do it?
This fascinating story made the national papers with headlines screaming for weeks.  We take a look at the background, the crime and the capture in the case of the discovered teeth in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
