## Resource

In the summer of 1974, a farm worker in rural Norfolk stumbled across a bundle in a field, a plastic sheet tied with rope, hiding the headless, bound body of a woman in nothing but a pink Marks & Spencer nightdress. With her head carefully removed and never found, no name, no missing‑person match, and only the faint clues that she was a young adult, likely a mother, and probably from central Europe, she became known only as the Norfolk headless body: a woman so thoroughly erased that, half a century later, police still don’t know who she was, let alone who decided she didn’t deserve an identity in death.
