In a short Skype call with Angela, we both exchanged notes about what we had been reading today. Animatedly, I shared with her what I discovered about Bobby Driscoll and other complicated stories from the past after which I sent her the links to those articles I had been reading. Impatiently, I asked her if she had checked those links after which she shared with me the story of the most bizarre murder I had ever read.

Featured in The Daily Mail, this article by Annabel Venning  is about a Murder in Peking: Pamela Werner, the British envoy's blonde daughter was found murdered. After she was dead, her throat had been slit open with a sharp knife. The blood had been drained from her body and her torso cut open and her heart, bladder, kidney and liver extracted.
