Florence Goodedge was found in a canal. She was said to have gone off with an unknown man at the pictures a day before.
She was found by an employee at the Berkhemsted Gas Works who heard screaming from the canal and rushed down to find her struggling in the water and pulled her out. He said that when he pulled her out she was alive and that he ran off for help, but by the time he returned with another person, she was dead.
