Ryland Headley: The Murder of Louisa Dunne and the UK's Oldest Cold Case Solved

By Ella Elizabeth Smith

Ryland Headley: The Murder of Louisa Dunne and the UK's Oldest Cold Case Solved is a gripping true crime story that spans nearly six decades-a shocking murder, a vanishing suspect, and the science that finally exposed the truth.

In 1967, 87-year-old Louisa Dunne was found brutally murdered in her Bristol home. The case stunned the community but quickly went cold, leaving her family without answers and a killer free to walk the streets. For years, justice seemed out of reach-until modern forensics uncovered a match.

In 2025, Ryland Headley, a 92-year-old man with a dark past, was convicted in a courtroom packed with tension and history. This groundbreaking case shattered records as Britain's oldest ever cold case to be solved-and revealed a predator hiding in plain sight.

This book dives deep into the investigation, the tragic failures, the forensic breakthroughs, and the emotional reckoning that followed. If you're fascinated by real-life crime, justice decades in the making, and the power of science to rewrite history, this is a story you won't forget.

Justice delayed is not always justice denied. Louisa Dunne's story proves it.
