Abdur Rashid was a 46 year old Muslim spiritual teacher who came to the UK from Bangladesh in the late 1970s. Abdur lived and worked in London's East End and was known in the local community as a good man. In April 1988 Abdur was murdered with a sharp instrument and his body dumped in Epping Forest. The killer set the body alight, an act that is forbidden in Islam and one that is considered dishonorable. Police managed to piece together some clues but were at a loss as to the motive for such a cold blooded crime. The crime soon disappeared from the headlines as the investigation drew blanks.

Christina or Christine Bracken was a 39 year old nun, originally from Ireland, who in the later part of 1978 moved to Swansea, Wales, to begin a new chapter in her life. After 6 months in Wales Christina, who went by her religious name Sister Jacinta, appeared to have settled in well and seemed happy. Shortly after lunch on Saturday May 19th 1979 Sister Jacinta took a walk into the city centre to buy a birthday present for her mother. While there were a few sightings of Sister Jacinta that day (both confirmed and unconfirmed), she was never seen by anyone at the convent again and seemingly vanished into thin air. There are numerous theories and rumours about what happened to Sister Jacinta, including a startling piece of information that surfaced just a decade ago.

Kevin Mison was a football mad teenager from an estate in West London. In early August 1980 the body of the 18 year old was found in an empty house close to where he lived. He had been murdered in a sexually motivated and sadistic attack. Witnesses came forward with information which led to a suspect sketch being created by the police and a mass fingerprinting exercise was undertaken on the estate. Just months later the murder investigation was scaled back and Kevin's killer has yet to be identified.

*Just a quick note to say I'm sorry I've only been doing one episode a month since April. Life has been hectic and I've had some health issues as well as some other commitments. Thank you all for continuing to listen.

I try and choose stories that are rarely covered by other podcasts and Kevin Mison's case is no exception. I have hope it won't be too late to find resolution to this 45 year unsolved crime.
