Ever heard of super-recognisers - Well, it's a thing - people with exceptional ability to recognise people in a crowd - they are used by police and security services the world over - but what's that got to do with Fred?   Links:   Abigail's 2025 London Marathon https://2025tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/abigail-davies   New Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/fredtheheadpodcast/   Website www.fredthehead.info   Podcast Email [email protected]   Ken Davies [email protected]  

So, we have the perfect crime. The finance scandal of London in 1967, a faked death, a trusted accomplice leading police astray, a beauty queen, all culminating in a successful getaway. They'd done it, Disappeared, never to be seen again.  Or so they thought...... In our concluding episode, we try to track them down.   Links: Narrated, written and produced by Ken Davies, Managing Director, GSE Media Ltd [email protected]   Fred the Head Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/fredtheheadpodcast/   The Mysterious Case of Michael Benedict is a copyrighted GSE Media Ltd production - the content of this podcast, including the audio recordings, scripts, and any original material, is subject to copyright protection. © 2025 GSE Media Ltd

Sunday, 16th July 1967 was destined to be the warmest day of the year in the South of England. But in the English Channel, there was a fog. A small dinghy pushed off the coast near Selsey on the Sussex coast, and set in motion a mystery that until this moment has never been solved. Involving missing cash, Miss World contestants and suspicious deaths, it was the scandal of the summer that has remained unsolved ever since..... Until Now.   Links: Narrated, written and produced by Ken Davies, Managing Director, GSE Media Ltd [email protected] Fred the Head Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/fredtheheadpodcast/   The Mysterious Case of Michael Benedict is a copyrighted GSE Media Ltd production - the content of thus podcast, including the audio recordings, scripts, and any original material, is subject to copyright protection. © 2025 GSE Media Ltd  

From our Fred of Head investigation, we stumble upon a new case - full of intrigue, danger and glamour in London at the height of the swinging sixties.  But after 60 years, impossible to solve surely......... https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mysterious-case-of-michael-benedict/id1808672668

Our investigation gets into full swing, yielding its first results. We find a new report about the inquest, which unearths some new facts and we have p[progress on John Gick, and there's a very interesting side story developing.

2025 has started with bang, as we undertake our biggest research campaign to identify potential victims. I also have an opportunity to discuss the lifestyle of the person that Fred might have been with a key expert.

It's about time I gave you an update on plans for Fred in 2025 - Well here goes....

I receive a detailed theory from the ex police colleague of the original investigating officer, Peter Hough - and it seems a good place to pause and reflect as we reach the 50th episode and map out the way forward.   Links:   The Mysterious Case of the Gentleman of Heligoland https://open.spotify.com/show/5ZdZyq4kWHyRDzdMQ3DZYZ?si=82fe5dce6630471c   New Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/fredtheheadpodcast/   Website www.fredthehead.info   Podcast Email [email protected]   Ken Davies [email protected]  

We take a closer look into the discovery story and particularly the claim that Garth Hamp-Gopsill was at the Grammar School instructing shooting. We also meet a man who the police believed may have been connected to John Gick's disappearance and learn some things that might prove useful.
