On the 18th of January 1954, 44 year old Mother of two Penelope Mogano was found murdered in her own home in Coventry by her husband and son. Her injuries were extensive and the perpetrator had exerted a huge amount of force in the attack. The window of when this could have happened was at most 2 hours and no one could think of any reason why someone would have wanted to kill Penelope. She was well liked and had no enemies.

Theories swirled including a scam artist, a random maniac or even her husband. Penelope's case is sadly still unsolved.
