Alan Beeton vanished in October 1921. However, his 20-year-old mother later went into a King's Cross Road police station and told them that she had killed him and buried him in a garden at Bushey.
She was tried for murder at the Hertfordshire Assizes, but pleaded not guilty and was convicted of burying the body and preventing an inquest.
