Age: 17
Sex: female
Date: 30 Dec 1957
Place: Cherry Tree Corner, Marshalls Heath, Wheathampstead
Last seen getting off of a bus at Cherry Tree Corner, Marshalls Heath.
Her body was found a month later frozen in Rose Grove Wood, near Whitwell, 7 miles away. She had been suffocated. It was thought that she had been murdered elsewhere and put in a freezer and then dumped a month later. The winter had been unusually mild and her mody would not have remained frozen throughout. also, it was thought that her body would have been found much earlier as the area had been searched during the initial murder hunt.
