Hello, usual disclaimer podcast listeners. How are you beautiful bunch? It's just Eleanor

popping in to let you know that there's not actually going to be a brand new episode this week.

But of course, I'm not going to leave you with nothing. So here's a case that we've pulled from

the archive to put you on until I'm back.

This is a case that I first covered on YouTube back in 2020, the story of Shirley Leach, an elderly woman whose body was found brutalized in the stall of a bus station public toilet.

This case has really, really stuck with me since I first recorded it. Partly because it's

pretty close to home in the literal sense, this case comes out of Manchester in the north of

England, not too far from where I grew up. But the thing that gets me the most about this one is how

random and senseless it was. It was so savage too. How anyone could do something like this to a friendly little

grandmother, I will never know. And I do just want to give you guys a warning before we get into this one,

that this case does involve themes of sexual assault and rape. So as always, viewer discretion is advised.

If you think that this case might be a bit too intense for you, then you might want to click out of this episode now,

but don't worry, we have plenty of other stories in our catalogue for you to dive into.

But with all that being said, let's get into it.

I just want to give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone that I talk about in this case.

This video is for educational purposes and everything I'm about to say is just information that I have found on the internet and I'm compiling into one video.

So today's case takes place in Bury, which is a town in Greater Manchester in the north of England on January 7th, 1994.

A local couple were just coming home from a night out. It was around 4 a.m. at this point

and they decided to stop off at Berry Interchange, which was the town's bus station and used the toilets,

since they were the only public toilets that were really open at that time.

So the man went into the men's toilets and the woman went into the woman's toilets and

when she walked in there was only one cubicle available because they block off all the others
