There's a name that keeps appearing in this investigation - Brian Edge - and he's important, because in the early years of the investigation, he's the prime candidate to be Fred.  And, because we keep discovering more information, we've again narrowed the time window even more - and he's right in it.

The research team have been hard at work for a few months now, and we've got a lot to report on. But in the course of that research, something caught our eye - An unusual story that developed in Burton exactly a year before Fred was found....

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......

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
