Description

For the criminologist, there are few cases as compelling as “the one that got away” – that is, the unsolved murder. For proof, you need look no further than this issue’s final case in the On Track To Murder series of railway killings.

A mystery for nearly a hundred years, the County Durham killing seems unlikely ever to be solved. At 52 years old, however, the mysterious disappearance of Lionel “Buster” Crabb is still revealing its secrets. Our examination of the facts includes the latest twist in this saga – a Russian sailor’s claim to have killed Crabb. Even so, it may not be the final twist.

It’s in recognition of how fascinating an unsolved murder can be that, next month, MD begins a series of unsolved cases. And just possibly, one of them will trigger a memory in one of our readers that could provide a clue to finally solving a years-old puzzle. Don’t miss it! And meanwhile…
