On Sunday, on June 24, 1998, a neighbor recalled seeing her outside her tidy brick-roll house, trimming bushes in her garden.

Not only was she well-known to many residents of Hyde, located on the outskirts of Manchester, England, she was once mayor of the struggling mill town.

She lived alone, and in the days leading up to her death, she never once mentioned feeling ill to her daughter, Angela Woodruff.

The two spoke on the phone regularly, and Angela often joked that her mother was the most fit member of the family, even at 81.

So when her mother's physician, Dr. Harold Shipman, called to tell her the sad news, Angela was shocked.

When she asked the doctor for more information, he was vague. He claimed, on the day before she died, he saw Kathleen Grundy for a routine matter, and she complained about not feeling well.

So they decided he would make a house called the next morning to take a blood sample, for what he claimed was a study he was doing.

He arrived at her home at around 8 a.m. because he said the sample needed to be obtained first thing in the morning.

Since he was her trusted doctor for years, she saw no reason to question him.

But in the immediate aftermath of her mother's surprising death, Angela Woodruff became very suspicious and began her own investigation.

And upon realizing that her mother bequeathed her entire estate to Dr. Shipman, Angela's fears were confirmed.

But that turned out to be just the beginning. And Angela's push for answers helped capture the most prolific serial killer in the history of the United Kingdom.
