A cruise ship steward is sentenced to hang after an actress disappears on-board a voyage from South Africa to Southampton, but was he really guilty? Richard Latto presents fresh evidence in this fascinating cold case investigation. Hear from a key witness who didn't give her vital evidence at the 1948 trial at The Great Hall in Winchester. For the first time, see the full story of events as detailed in the extensive police file, saved by the Hampshire Policy Society from incineration. Author Antony M Brown reveals his incredible research into the death of an actress who dreamt of Hollywood, but never made it back to England.
