The Petrified Woman

I borrowed this book from the Gawler Libraries yesterday and read it last night. A true crime story from our very own Riverland, in the Renmark/ Murtho region.
The story centres on the finding of a petrified female body. The body has no teeth, fingers or toes and most of its face is missing. Detectives believe they know who she is, and who murdered her, but they never solved the case. Now, much like Somerton Man, DNA would solve the mystery - the author traced the pauper's grave to West Terrace Cemetery, and through a direct descendant of the suspected murdered woman, applied to have the body exhumed for DNA testing...but, successive Governments have ignored or denied the process...
The book is available for loan through your local library at Libraries SA
