Just days before Christmas 1959, the Edencroft Hostel in Birmingham became the scene of a shocking murder. Stephanie Baird, 29, was brutally killed by 27-year-old Patrick Byrne, a man hiding a history of stalking and violent sexual fantasies. The case revealed the terrifying progression from secret obsession to murder, leaving investigators to confront one of Britain’s most disturbing true crimes.👉 For further information about my upcoming book, Wartime London’s ‘Bonnie and Clyde’: The Crime Spree of Betty Jones and Karl Hulten <a href="https://prashganendran.com/the-cleft-chin-murder/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://prashganendran.com/the-cleft-chin-murder/</a>Subscribe to my YouTube channel for video versions of the podcast:📺 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@prashsmurdermap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">youtube.com/@prashsmurdermap</a>💡 Support me on Patreon to get ad-free audio episodes<a href="https://www.patreon.com/prashsmurdermap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.patreon.com/prashsmurdermap</a>💰 Make a one-off contributionEvery little bit helps!
