The Mystery of a Missing Person

The phone call was made from a public telephone box in the suburb of epping, 50 kilometers northeast of wimbleton. The caller had what sounded like a west indian accent with hints of american overtones. A suspicious eye was cast towards alec mca and even muriel herself. Given the crime involved a newspaper executive who happened to oversee the country's two biggest tabloids, speculation arose as to whether the entire situation was a publicity stunt or hoax.
