Edward Finch arrived at the church before his bride.

Then he disappeared.

His coat remained on a peg.

Inside was his watch, purse and railway ticket.

The ticket was for London and had been purchased that morning.

Cryer found a second ticket hidden inside the watch case.

It was for a destination Finch had never mentioned.

The bride received a telegram that evening.

It contained no message.

Only a pressed black feather.
