Summary
In April 1987, 26-year-old Shani Warren was last seen driving in Buckinghamshire during an ordinary Easter weekend. The next day, her body was discovered in a lake, shocking her family and community. The circumstances of her death left investigators puzzled, and despite their efforts, the case quickly went cold.
Decades later, advances in forensic science and persistent police work finally brought Shani's killer to justice. This is the story of her life, the tragedy that haunted those who loved her, and the relentless pursuit of truth that refused to be forgotten.
