UK UK - Ann Noblett, 17, Marshalls Heath, Herts, 30 Dec 1957

Bumping for Ann, as we have just passed the 62nd anniversary of her murder
 
Leane Tiernan was kept in a deep freezer before she left at the deposition site

At the time, I remember someone suggested that Leane's body may have been moved from the freezer to make room for another. The same may apply to Ann Noblett - her body was moved from the freezer to make room for another victim

''On December 30, 1957, Anne Noblett disappeared while travelling to her home in Marshalls Heath, Hertfordshire.

A month later, on January 31, 1958, her fully clothed body was found in Rose Grove Woods near Whitwell, Hitchin. The remains of the 17-year-old showed signs of refrigeration and the case was dubbed the "Deep Freeze Murder" by the press.

On the night of her disappearance, Anne had attended a dance at Lourdes Hall in Harpenden. After the dance she caught the 391 Green Line bus to return home to Marshalls Heath, where she lived with her parents and brothers.''
The last sighting of Anne was by Shirley Edwards at around 6pm, when she alighted the bus at the Cherry Trees pub at the bottom of Marshalls Heath Lane.

A resident reported the rear lights of a car being visible further up the lane at the time of her disappearance.

Her body was found by two dog walkers, and police determined she was strangled and most likely sexually assaulted. Her body was also frozen solid, which investigators established was due to refrigeration.

Due to a lack of evidence, especially DNA, it is unlikely that Anne's killer will ever be found.''
