Questions About This Episode

What is Portsmouth: The Murder of Linda Cook about?

On the 9th of December 1986, the half naked body of Linda Cook was found in the grass and scrub of a pathway in Buckland, Portsmouth. She had been repeatedly kicked in the face, head and body after being raped. The only clue the Hampshire Constabulary had to go on was a footprint left on her abdomen, a mens trainer with a unique tread — the word “FLASH” imprinted on the sole. The killer would be dubbed ‘The Beast of Buckland”, and the crime became known as “The Cinderella Murder.” Watch Murdertown exclusively on Crime+Investigation in the UK, and then listen here as Benjamin Fitton from They Walk Among Us unpicks a new case from each location. Crime+Investigation's Murdertown podcast is hosted by Benjamin Fitton, researched and written by Anna Priestland, produced and edited by Chloe Frost, with additional editing by James Collopy and series produced by Sam Pearson.
