Description
Missing, Presumed Murdered: The McKay Case and Other Convictions Without a Corpse By Dick Kirby, Pen & Sword Books Limited, 2022, 224 pages, hardcover. The gruesome side of true crime holds a morbid fascination for the British public. Murders without bodies create problems for investigators and prosecutors, yet also draw in crowds to court. The case of Muriel McKay, kidnapped in 1969 and believed to have been fed to pigs, is one such example. Despite her body never being found, the perpetrators were convicted. Other cases, including a business partner of a Polish farmer who was murdered and fed to sharks, and John Haigh, who confessed to disposing of nine victims in acid, also garnered significant attention. These crimes, along with others like the dismemberment of a gay man's wife in the 1950s, are explored in Missing, Presumed Murdered. This book offers a riveting look at these and other cases that have captivated the public's imagination.
