Twenty-three-year-old mother of two Fiona Saunders lived with her enlisted husband in military married quarters in Church Crookham, Hampshire, England.
On March 12th, 1986, she talked with her mother on the phone, hanging up at around seven-forty-five p.m. Sometime in the next few hours, an unknown individual entered her home.
At approximately ten p.m., a neighbor stopped by and became concerned when there was no answer to her knock. She went into the house and found Fiona lying dead on the living room floor. She had been savagely beaten in the head and body with a hammer and a rolling pin. Both bloody murder weapons were found at the scene. The walls and furniture around her were likewise covered in blood.
Both children were discovered asleep and unharmed upstairs.
Fiona’s husband was immediately ruled out as a suspect, as he had been away on a military exercise with the 7th Royal Horse Artillery. However, police looked into the possibility that Fiona had been attacked by the same man who had stabbed a woman on the same estate a week before. That victim survived, but the assailant was never caught.
As of October of 2024, the murder of Fiona Saunders remains unsolved.

hopefully with new modern dna technology when the case comes up for reveiw th e killerwillbe caught.
