Murder They Wrote with Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling - 72. The Green Bicycle Case

Laura retraces the twists of one of Britain's most debated unsolved cases. In 1919, a farmer found the body of a young woman on the side of a quiet country road, lying next to her bicycle. While first deemed an accident, it soon becomes clear she’s been shot.

A witness recalls a man on a striking green bicycle seen with her just hours earlier, but when police search for the rider, the truth becomes more tangled than anyone expected.
