Just days before Christmas 1959, the Edencroft Hostel in Birmingham became the scene of a shocking murder. Stephanie Baird, 29, was brutally killed by 27-year-old Patrick Byrne, a man hiding a history of stalking and violent sexual fantasies. The case revealed the terrifying progression from secret obsession to murder, leaving investigators to confront one of Britain’s most disturbing true crimes.
