He proceeds to the storeroom in the back, and there he's met with the horrifying discovery of Carol's body. She's lying in a pool of blood. Her body had been savagely attacked with what investigators will later believe to be either a machete or a cleaver or an axe. Horrible. I know. She's been struck between 10 and 15 times. It's completely savage.

The main investigator later says it was quote, the worst attack I've seen on a human being. Yeah. The perpetrator had also robbed the store of 500 pounds, which in today's money would be worse, I guess.

Right. And actually, it's also weird because the cash wasn't stolen from the register. It was stolen from a hard to find drawer in the shop's back office, which to me actually isn't that weird. Like if someone were threatening her, like, where's the money? I want more like you're going to lead them to it. You know, yeah, yeah.

It's like one of those things where they're always like, it's weird because it wasn't forced entry. So they must have known their perpetrator. But it's like people answer the fucking door all the time. And then people kick their way. You know, it's just OK. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, then the killer also steals 105 packs of cigarettes.

Right.

Right.

Psycho. Totally. Like having the wherewithal to then go about your business speaks to how evil you are. Absolutely. So Detective Superintendent Brian Prickett of the local police is put on the case and investigators quickly hear from multiple witnesses that a young man with light brown hair, who's about five feet, six inches tall, was seen near the shop on the evening of Carol's murder.

And there's a composite sketch drawn. Witnesses say he was seen clutching two plastic shopping bags to his chest or probably with the cigarettes. They say the man left in a station wagon that was parked outside the shop. The police obviously quickly confirmed that Allen couldn't have committed the murders. His alibi is completely solid because he was at the movies, weirdly.

But as the investigation goes on, Alan, of course, starts to look suspicious. As it turns out, Alan had a pretty shady side. A lot of people in the neighborhood have had bad interactions with him, and they hear from multiple people that he has a reputation of saying offensive things, particularly to women, and that he's known to be a bit of a bully.

Neighbors who live near the shop and where the Morgans live say that Alan is known to have had several relationships with other women. It's like a well-known fact about town. Alan himself tells the police of his own volition that he has been in a relationship with another woman for some time. Just tells them that. Oh. In fact, everyone knows about this relationship.

It's with a woman named Margaret, and not long before Carol's murder, Margaret's husband had gone into the shop to confront Alan about it. Alan and Carol's marriage had been very strained because of this, because Carol knew about the affair. But the month before she died, she had told her uncle that she and Alan were trying to give things another shot.

So it doesn't take long for rumors to start to circulate that Alan had something to do with his wife's death. And this is just so absurd. There is this news footage of him being interviewed outside the shop in the months following the murder. And in it, Alan addresses these rumors. It's so fucking absurd. The reporter's like, you know, why are people saying stuff about you? What are they saying?
