With marks on her face, ruffled clothing, and clear signs of strangulation, the discovery of 39-year-old Caroline Evans' body made headlines across the UK as Scotland Yard detectives and Welsh police scrambled to find the killer.
But the culprit would never be found and the identity of her murderer remains a mystery to this day, making it one of Wales' oldest cold cases, still unsolved more than 75 years on. You can see Wales' other cold cases, where the killers have never been found, here.
Caroline was married to a clerk, Daniel Evans, working as a school mistress and living a full life in 1945. World War Two had come to a halt in May that year, she was married to the love of her life, and she had a stable job. Aged 39, she was one of the pillars of her community and living in a safe, rural and idyllic part of Wales.
