Summer's over, so its back to work on the investigation. There's a few interesting developments to update you on on John Gick, on the Kun family emigration and the first Fred the Head meet up which was such a great success. 

John Gick disappears without trace on Saturday 1st February 1969, leaving the scout group he had brought with him from the Isle of Man without its leader. In this episode we track down the second in command on that trip and explore what he remembers about that fateful journey and what he remembers about John Gick and the clues that emerged from the investigation that followed his disappearance.

Our routine investigations pay dividends - When a man emerges from the archives who seems to match Fred - and the more we dig, the more and more intriguing it becomes.

In a long interview, we meet with the man who claims to have been an accessory to Fred's murder, who tells a remarkable tale in his own words.

There's one final question I need to ask Zoe, I spend far more time than I should digging through the archives with interesting results and we receive an offer of some very useful help
