Who killed Shani Warren, found bound and gagged in Taplow Lake on 18 April 1987?

Two answers, none aheadNone is ahead yet. See what would settle it.

Where it stands

Two answers have been proposed. None is ahead on the evidence yet. Two are still possible.

Why it matters

Her death, first suggested by the pathologist to be suicide and left open at the inquest, is the strongest single case on the list for foul play. A killer has since been convicted, which tests the theory directly.
