The story of Carmel Gamble unfolds in the serene town of Stroud, where the quiet beauty is shattered by a brutal murder on November 12, 1989. At 43, Carmel lived a secluded life, burdened by a long battle with anorexia, and was rarely seen by neighbors. On November 9, she was spotted with an unrecognized man, whose unsettling demeanor left a lasting impression before he vanished.
Two days later, Carmel was reported missing after she left a shop. When firefighters arrived at her cottage the morning of November 12, they discovered her beaten and mutilated body amidst a fire that appeared to be an attempt to destroy evidence rather than the cause of death. The crime scene bore signs of a methodical killer, using paraffin to fuel the flames.
Despite extensive investigations, including witness sightings and a mysterious phone call reporting the fire, the identity of Carmel’s killer remains elusive. Theories about the man seen with her and possible motives—ranging from a personal vendetta to opportunistic violence—have circulated for years without resolution. Two convicted murderers became persons of interest but were never linked to the case.
Today, Walkley Hill continues to thrive, yet the memory of Carmel’s tragic end lingers, leaving behind haunting questions that may never be answered. The podcast concludes with a call for information, hoping that someone might hold the key to finally bringing closure to this chilling mystery.
Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
