Ep 53 - The Container Man

“After a woman was found murdered inside her home, an unidentified man appeared nearby — carrying bags and wearing clothes that were not his.” In November 2021, June Fox-Roberts stopped answering her phone. When her daughter went to check on her, she entered the family home in Llantwit Fardre and discovered that something horrific had happened inside. Police had no obvious suspect and little footage from the streets surrounding June’s house. Then, workers at a nearby tyre yard disturbed a dishevelled stranger sheltering inside the back of a wagon. His hair appeared freshly cut and dyed. His face was scratched. He carried several bags, walked with a distinctive limp and seemed to be wearing clothing taken from somewhere else. Detectives did not know his name. They called him Container Man. This week, the Archive examines the murder of June Fox-Roberts — the unidentified figure captured on CCTV, the race to find him and the fragments of evidence that would gradually connect an ordinary Welsh street to a much wider tragedy.

“After a woman was found murdered inside her home, an unidentified man appeared nearby — carrying bags and wearing clothes that were not his.”

In November 2021, June Fox-Roberts stopped answering her phone. When her daughter went to check on her, she entered the family home in Llantwit Fardre and discovered that something horrific had happened inside.

Police had no obvious suspect and little footage from the streets surrounding June’s house. Then, workers at a nearby tyre yard disturbed a dishevelled stranger sheltering inside the back of a wagon.

His hair appeared freshly cut and dyed. His face was scratched. He carried several bags, walked with a distinctive limp and seemed to be wearing clothing taken from somewhere else.

Detectives did not know his name.

They called him Container Man.

This week, the Archive examines the murder of June Fox-Roberts — the unidentified figure captured on CCTV, the race to find him and the fragments of evidence that would gradually connect an ordinary Welsh street to a much wider tragedy.

Some suspects leave behind a name.

Others leave only an image.
