On Boxing Day 1995 in Camden Town, London, 53-year-old police-station mechanic Alan Holmes was brutally attacked.   He was bound, gagged and left face-down in his own flat, deprived of food and water for days before he was found alive – only to die the next day in hospital.   Yet despite arrests, his killers have never been charged.   For the documentary version see here https://youtu.be/dClSra8tmFA [https://youtu.be/dClSra8tmFA] (00:00) The Haunting Case of Alan Holmes  (00:47) Case Preview (2:14) Who Was Alan Holmes?

He Crashed His Car… Then Vanished | The Kyle Vaughan Disappearance

On December 30, 2012, 24-year-old Kyle Vaughan — affectionately known as "Jabbers" — left his family home in Newbridge, South Wales, for a normal night out.  He went from a house party in Abercarn to a pub in Risca, then headed back... but never arrived. His silver Peugeot 306 was found crashed on the A467 between Risca and Crosskeys.  Kyle walked away from the non-life-threatening accident... and vanished within minutes in a terrifying "vanishing window." Despite massive searches across 40+ areas, 900+ witness statements, 200+ interviews, review of thousands of telecom and CCTV records, and eight arrests (including on suspicion of murder), Kyle's body has never been found. No clothing, phone, keys, or insulin supplies (he was diabetic) were ever recovered.  His mother Mary died in 2018 without closure, and his father Alan still fights for answers while battling his own health issues. Gwent Police treat this as an active murder investigation — one of their most significant long-running cases.  A £20,000 reward remains. Someone in the tight-knit South Wales valleys community knows what happened that night on the A467.
