Sunday Night Mystery Episode 56, The Silent Letter, The Murder of Sandra Court
Sandra Court, a 26-year-old insurance clerk from Bournemouth, was preparing to start a new life as a nanny in Majorca. On May 2, 1986, she attended a farewell party before heading to Steppe’s nightclub. Later that night, she took a taxi to her sister’s house but was last seen outside, waiting. By morning, her strangled body was discovered in a water-filled ditch near Sopley.
Her belongings were found scattered across various locations, suggesting a deliberate attempt to mislead investigators. Despite theories ranging from a crime of passion to the involvement of convicted killer John Cannan, no concrete evidence linked anyone to her murder. An anonymous letter and a Crimewatch call claimed her death was accidental, but the case remains unsolved. Decades later, Sandra’s killer is still unknown, and the mystery endures.

Sunday Night Mystery Episode 55, The Unsolved Murder of Samuel Graham Williamson in Bournemouth
The Unsolved Murder of Samuel Graham Williamson
There are few crimes that shake a town to its core, but on August 10, 1988, the brutal and senseless murder of Samuel Graham Williamson did just that to Bournemouth. A quiet drifter, Samuel lived on the fringes of society—until the night he was strangled, beaten, and set ablaze in an act of unimaginable violence.
The investigation revealed a life more complex than it seemed. Who was Samuel really? And why was he targeted with such personal brutality? The evidence pointed to Francis Joseph MacDonald, a man with a troubling past and no memory of the night in question. His DNA was found beneath Samuel’s fingernails—yet he was acquitted not once, but twice.
Was this a case of forgotten guilt or a miscarriage of justice? Did Samuel’s past hold the key to his murder? And does his killer still walk free?
Join Brett Orchard for another chilling episode of Sunday Night Mystery as we explore the haunting questions behind the murder of Samuel Graham Williamson.
