Anne had been reported missing. I wonder who made the report? And I wonder wonder who wanted her dead?

Found only two days after being last seen only an hour or so away... But with the dismemberment and all of that it would have been pretty difficult to identify her with no DNA technology.
Sounds like her husband is/was a major suspect. He was married 4 times and strangled another wife as well. (From old newspapers. I don't have a link.)

Makes me wonder if she was reported missing quite a bit after she actually went missing or it would seem that somebody might have connected the dots if she was reported missing before her body was found in the same area.
