"Murder on the Racecourse" - Jill Drysdale - 14th April 2011

The story of the unfotunate events relating to Eliza Gepson have captivated our group for nearly 4 months now. Everyone is still unsure exactly who killed her, but that hasnt stopped us putting together our own theories. I personally have been looking forward to Jill's talk for a while now. The story just seems so fascinating. Perhaps its to do with my love of Family History. The notion of knowing so much about these people from years ago really appeals to me.


The talk was excellent. Every time we hear the story, we get more and more information which only serves to make the story all the more exciting!

We will never know for certain how Eliza died all those years ago. Perhaps the strangest thing about her story is that she was not alone. Thousands of unsolved murders have piled up over the years, but her story captivated Jill enough to put her time and effort into researching it.
