Anne was head-over-heels with the shy, slight teenager. She told her diary he was the ‘apple of her eye’. Even when she moved schools, she was still convinced Darwin loved her just as much as she loved him.
On 10 March, Anne argued with her mum and went off to her room. They thought she’d gone to bed, but Anne had actually sneaked out of the house. When her mum checked later that evening, she realised she had disappeared, and she was reported missing.
The next day, a jogger spotted a shoe and some blood on a bridge over the Jordan River near Salt Lake City. Anne’s body was found close by, floating in the water.
She’d been so badly beaten around the head and face that she was unrecognisable, even to her loved ones. Investigators had to use scars, clothing and dental records to identify her.
