Foulness Island is located on the East Coast of Essex close to the seaside town of Southend On Sea. As the island only has around 150 residents, it is largely unknown to the average person however in 2014 it was thrust into the national headlines. This was due to a discovery that was made and the investigation that followed. Arrests and appeals would be made by the police in the years that have followed however sadly there are still many mysteries surrounding what happened.

On the 29th September 1935, Susan Haines Johnson was walking over a bridge in Moffat, Dumfriesshire in Scotland. She noticed a parcel floating in the ravine. She was horrified to see that there was a human arm sticking out of it. When the ravine was examined, the police found a number of other parcels with body parts in. The investigation that was carried out would lead to other parts of the UK and to a suspect that at first glance did not appear capable of committing such crimes.

On the 20th of September 2004, a group of walkers were travelling along the Pennine Way in North Yorkshire. They had been climbing up the Pen Y Ghent fell when they stopped for a rest next to some caves called Sell Gill Holes. This is when they noticed something odd in the stream. They looked closer and discovered that it was the body of a woman face down in the stream. This would begin an investigation into the identification of the unknown woman that had come to be known 'The Lady of the Hills'. This investigation would last 15 years before new technology and police determination cracked the case.
