Sarah Millson - Listener written episode

The Unseen Podcast

Sarah Millson worked as a housekeeper for the Bevington Brothers Leather Wholesalers which was based in Cannon Street in Central London. Sarah mostly kept to herself and didn't appear to receive many visitors. That was why it was strange on the 11th of April 1866, a stranger knocked on her door and she said she knew it was for her. After an hour her friend who was upstairs with her went down and found her dead body in the doorway. Despite the time that has elapsed Sarah's murder is still unsolved.
