Explicit content warning

12/15/22 • 23 min

On June 6, 1991, the body of a 43-year-old mother of two was discovered in the front seat of her car, in a busy car park, in a London, England suburb. She had been stabbed over fifty times in broad daylight, but with no witnesses and many questions surrounding her actions leading up to the day of her murder, there are more questions than answers and case has sat cold for over 30 years. Her daughter continues to speak publically about her mother’s murder, in an effort to bring closure to her family. This is the story of Penny Bell.
