About this Event
Retired detective, Dr Paul Stickler, is now a historian, writer and consultant for true crime media. His experience in M**der investigations, coupled with his passion for history, always make his presentations absorbing, challenging, entertaining and informative. This time he tells us about the 1946 ‘pushchair M**der’ when a patrolling police constable was murdered in Burton on Trent as he walked his beat during the silent hours. He had apparently disturbed a burglar. Yet it would take 10 years to bring the suspected offender before the courts, following a world-wide manhunt including the personal intervention of FBI boss J Edgar Hoover. The presentation goes beyond the crime itself to expose post-war attitudes towards American GIs who had remained in Britain after the war.
As always, while entry to TalksAtSix is free, we make a door collection with 100% of money collected going to the charity suggested by the speaker. Paul has elected to have such funds go to Diabetes UK.
