On the early morning of January 15, 1947 a women caught a glimpse of what to appear as a disabled mannequin lying in the grass.Once she realized it was a woman who was brutally murdered, she called the police. The police surmised that due to the lack of blood both on the body and around the scene, the women were killed elsewhere. The body was neatly severed in half, gutted and drained of blood.The case was put on the back burner because there was no evidence to go by beside the package the police received of her hand book.
