In this episode I get to talk to Brian Stannard, author of the book 'Alcatraz Ghost Story', based on the life of Roy Gardner. Roy was an American criminal active during the 1920s. He stole a total of more than $350,000 in cash and securities and several times escaped from custody. He is said to have been the most hunted man in Pacific Coast history, having had a $5,000 reward for his head three times in less than a year. The newspapers in the West referred to him as the "Smiling Bandit", the "Mail Train Bandit", and the "King of the Escape Artists." He was one of the first inmates transfered to Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.

Charles Walton was found murdered on February 14th, 1945 in Warwickshire [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwickshire], England [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England]. The foremost police detective of the era, Chief Inspector Robert Fabian [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fabian], led the investigation into Walton's death. The chief suspect for the murder was Alfred John Potter. However, there was insufficient evidence to convict Potter and the case is currently the oldest unsolved murder in the Warwickshire Constabulary [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwickshire_Constabulary] records. The case has also earned notoriety due to its supposed connection with the local belief in witchcraft [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchcraft].
