Dorothy Rose Chapman was found dead in the River Trent two miles north of Gainsborough on the night of 13 April 1937.
Her body was found on the warp, just above the water at Walkeringham by a farm worker at about 8pm. After seeing her body, he had gone off to fetch help and the darkness made recovering her body very difficult and it wasn't until 9.30pm that her body was brought to the bank.
