Hi all--

My schedule for the holiday has shifted a little and I am going to be traveling tomorrow. I am posting NEVERLAND about 12 hours early.

The scarf of Clan McStrangleish

In December 1966, a boy with a brutal father is reported missing from his home. The body of a journalist is found on a railway line and within days an escaped convict, with only a month of his sentence remaining, is found dead. The two men have connections with Blenheim Vale, a disused correctional facility for boys in Kidlington, soon to be redeveloped as a police station for the new Thames Valley Police, into which Oxford City Police and Oxfordshire Constabulary are about to be merged. Thursday's and Morse's investigation leads to a property developer and corruption in high places including missing police evidence in Morse's last three investigations. Morse is in jail and Thursday lies shot as the episode closes. Original airdate: April 20, 2014
