he Fly was always thought to have been the first victim in the strange case of the Old Lady that has

puzzled so many since the middle of the last century.

 

Without any clear answer about just how the Old Lady could actually have met such a bizarre end however,

and with no clear motive, it has remained a mystery. 

​

But it seems that the case was never closed and special investigations have continued, handed-on from one investigative

team to the next, one generation to another, as the decades have passed.

​

The breakthrough came just days ago when a recording, seemingly made by The Fly himself, was found among

papers recovered from underneath the floorboards of the Old Lady's cottage some weeks after the gruesome event. At the

time none of these dusty discoveries were thought to be of any real significance however, and all were were put in to

storage with the scarce evidence initially gathered.

​

But today's advanced forensic analysis has now identified the recording as genuine, and in it The Fly describes how

he was forced into enacting a drastic plan resulting inevitably in the Old Lady's demise. This was necessary, he

says, in order to escape after being captured by her for some unknown reason and with fear that the

same fate may also await his flyancée, Sadie.

​

The Coroner has therefore now decided that whilst unlawful and still today subject to the severest penalty,

the Fly's actions amounted to a Crime Of Passion at the time which, if discovered, would have been regarded with

some leniency and a measure of respect. The recording is not considered to have been made in any boastful

manner, but as an explanation if later discovered.

​

With many generations having come and gone in the intervening time, the Authorities have decided that the book can now

be closed on this longstanding mystery with no further action necessary.

 

Further, in light of this information a note has been formally appended hoping that The Fly and Sadie enjoyed their

fought-for freedom and spent the rest of a very romantic though short 

life in every happiness together.
