Description
A true crime story from Exmoor in 1858, The Wheal Eliza Murder is a harrowing account of a father's devastating crime. In July 1858, William Burgess took his six-year-old daughter, Anna Marie, to stay with her aunt and uncle in Porlock, Somerset, but instead of keeping her, he killed her and buried her body in a shallow grave. The police investigation that followed was one of the most extensive in the region at the time, with Burgess eventually being found in Swansea, Wales, and brought back to face justice. The case was marked by a series of events that would have been unimaginable in the 19th century, including the discovery of burnt clothing and the subsequent search for Anna's body. Despite the efforts of the police, the location of Anna's remains was never confirmed, leaving the case with a sense of mystery and tragedy that continues to captivate true crime enthusiasts. This book tells the story of the Wheal Eliza Murder, a case that shocked the nation in 1858 and remains one of the most infamous crimes in British history.
