Elizabeth Figg, also known as Ann Phillips, was found with her body slumped against a small willow tree. She had been strangled to death. The victim also had scratches on her throat and her clothing had been ripped open. It was also stated that her underwear and shoes were missing, as well as her purse. Despite an extensive search of the area, these items were not found. The proprietor of a nearby public house called The Ship stated he and his wife had seen a car parked up in the area around 5 minutes past midnight. Not long after the driver turned off the headlights of the car the couple claimed to have heard a woman’s scream, sadly they didn’t investigate further. Figgs boyfriend, Fenton Ward, was an early suspect in the murder. He was known to beat Figg on occasion and was also known to act as her pimp. However, Ward was soon ruled out of the murder after police inquiries. Due to the location in which the body was found, a known site where sex workers would take their client and the missing items the police came up with another theory. They believed Figg had been murdered in a client’s car after removing the missing items to have sex and the items had been left in the car.
