Case 242: The Investor Murders
🕑 Added 2023-04-01 07:11:02 +0000 UTCOn the afternoon of Tuesday, September 7 1982, residents of the tiny Alaskan fishing village of Craig noticed smoke across the harbour. A fishing vessel was on fire.
It belonged to successful Washington fisherman Mark Coulthurst, who was travelling with his wife Irene, their two children, Kimberley and John, and four teenage deckhands: Dean Moon, Michael Stewart, Jerome Keown and Chris Heyman.
When the flames were extinguished and the boat was boarded, first responders made a shocking discovery. Everyone onboard was dead, and it appeared the fire had been started to cover a gruesome crime. Authorities soon honed in on one suspect: a former employee of Markโs named John Peelโฆ

Once the suspect John Peel was named, I couldn't get the legendary BBC DJ of the same name out of my head!
