Summary

May 5th: Paula Hounslea's Body Found (2012) Sometimes it seems like police know who the killer is but don’t have enough evidence to bring forth charges. At least, not enough to ensure a conviction. On May 5th 2012 a woman disappeared and, though it seems like police have a good idea of who might be responsible, the only people arrested had to be let go without any charges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Paula_Hounslea, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2158934/Daughter-woman-charred-bones-years-disappeared-arrested-suspicion-murder.html, https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/evidence-revealed-mystery-death-liverpool-7035646, https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/inquest-paula-hounslea-death-adjourned-6856142, https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-19330733, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/mhqz6t/the_disappearance_and_death_of_paula_hounslea_the/, https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/paula-hounslea-murder-her-daughter-was-one-882400, https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/paula-hounslea-death-body-of-mum-833116 Learn more about your ad choices.
