"This case out of North Wales is one that police have called the strangest case they've ever worked." — Ashley Flowers
"We're looking at that morning. Why in front of us if it's actually the place where the bad smell was coming from there she is I could see a face staring at me With what appeared to be a hole in the side of the skull. I could see the hair And photos that show someone might still be trying to cover up a murder" — Britt
"The Sutton brothers put it there That was my first thought But they say that they're not responsible for it They actually think that it might have been a relative of trevillains Or maybe someone from the police department Who put the plaque up Someone who maybe was there While they were excavating And like I don't know this is their way of like whistle blowing" — Ashley Flowers
This episode delves into the baffling disappearance of Trevaline Evans, who vanished 35 years ago from a busy town in North Wales. Initial investigations revealed her personal belongings left behind in her antique shop, including her handbag, keys, and jacket, suggesting she did not leave willingly or for an extended period. Despite extensive searches, no trace of her was found. Over time, witnesses reported seeing Evans in the company of a "smartly dressed man" on multiple occasions on the day she disappeared, raising questions about her last known interactions and potential companions.
The investigation explores various theories, including the possibility of foul play involving the unidentified "smartly dressed man," an affair, or even her husband, Richard Evans. A significant development occurred in 2019 when two brothers, Andrew and Lee Sutton, using specialized equipment, claim to have discovered photographic evidence of a human skeleton beneath the floorboards of a golf club in Rudlin, a location connected to Richard Evans. They believe this discovery points to Trevaline's remains and suggest a potential cover-up by golf club staff or even the police, who reportedly found nothing when they investigated.
Further complicating the case, memorial plaques mysteriously appeared in Rudlin, one mentioning Trevaline's disappearance and a subsequent "removal" in 2019, and another hinting at "justice" for her "disposal." The episode highlights the lack of concrete answers, the conflicting accounts, and the persistent questions surrounding Trevaline Evans' fate, leaving her disappearance as one of North Wales' most perplexing cold cases.
