Over the weekend a human skull was discovered on a Wadestown property, prompting the police to be involved.

One of the theories about the origins of the remains which were discovered dates back to the unsolved case of a missing person from 1945.

Author Scott Bainbridge has written about the mysterious disappearance of Jean Martin in that area in 1945. He talks to Jesse about how likely her case may have been solved.
