The post-mortem examination by the pathologist produced little more information. There was no means of identification, no purse or handbag and nothing in the pockets of her jeans.
She was dressed in a woolly sweater, well worn jeans and imitation leather boots. The weather had been unseasonably cold for two weeks with the temperature seldom rising above freezing so that the body had not decomposed and it was difficult to guess how long she had been there. There was no obvious sign of cause of death. The police cordoned off the area and made a minute search. Or rather, the dog found it and would not obey his masters calls! It was in a small patch of woodland about a mile outside the village of Lockvale. The body was discovered by a man walking his dog.
