On Christmas morning of 2010, snow fell on a quiet suburb in southwest England. But just after 9 a.m., the quiet was shattered by the sound of police sirens racing through town. The police cars came to a screeching stop, and a veteran detective inspector stepped out into the cold. He walked towards a stone wall that separated the road from a tree-covered field on the other side. The detective inspector reached the wall, crouched down, and started digging through a pile of snow and leaves. And when he saw what was underneath this pile, he knew he would not be spending Christmas with his family. But before we get into that story, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right podcast because that's all we do and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.

At 6 p.m. on Friday, December 17, 2010, a 25-year-old woman named Jo Yates sat drinking and listening to Christmas music at the Bristol Ram Pub with some of her co-workers in Bristol, England. Jo, who was a landscape architect and her co-workers, were regulars at this pub. But tonight, they were there specifically to celebrate an early Christmas together. Jo sipped her cider and looked out the window at the falling snow. The sun had just set, and the snowflakes seemed to glow under the streetlights. This, along with the holiday decorations on the shops outside, made the whole street look like the cover of a Christmas card. Jo looked away from the window and joined in on the conversation with her co-workers, who were talking about their various holiday plans. Jo said she was very excited because this was the first Christmas she was going to spend with her boyfriend, Greg Reardon.
