In May 1982, 48-year-old Brenda Venables seemingly vanished from the farmhouse she shared with her husband, David, in rural Worcestershire. Her husband claimed she had been struggling with her mental health and suggested she may have taken her own life, leaving behind a shroud of uncertainty and heartbreak.
For decades, Brenda’s disappearance remained a mystery, until a shocking discovery was made in July 2019 after some routine maintenance on the farm’s septic tank revealed a horrifying truth that had been hidden in plain sight for nearly 40 years.
