The Babbacombe Murder Mystery (Part One)

Season: 5 Episode: 7

Emma Anne Whitehead Keyse was a single lady of 68 years old. She was born in Edmonton, London, in 1816. She lived at The Glen with four helpers. One of them was John Lee, who did various jobs. Elizabeth Harris was the cook, and she had asked Emma to give her half-brother, John Lee, a job a few months before. The other helpers were Jane and Eliza Neck, who were sisters and had worked for Emma for over 40 years.

Saturday, the 15th February 1884 would be a day that would change the household forever. Listen to part one of this amazing story and try to decide for yourself what could have possibly happened.
