Most of us undoubtably spent New Years Day on Sunday celebrating the past year, and the arrival of the new one. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for everyone, as the body of a yet to be identified young woman was found on the grounds of Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham Estate, less then two miles from her actual home.

Police have more questions then answers five days following said discovery of the body of a young woman, who was suspected to be between 15-23 years old. Police also suspect that the woman's body has been there between 1 to 4 months, and are proceeding with the case as if it was a homicide.
However, little more then this has been found over the past 5 days. While they believe it a homicide, no visible signs of trauma have been discovered. No clues have been found regarding identifying the young woman, or closing in on her age. Police have also yet to discover whether the woman was killed there, or the body was dumped. With the estimated time between 1-4 months of the body being there, police are also puzzled as to how it went undiscovered for so long. Why? Because the body was found less then 1/4 mile from the main breeding and training ground of Queen Elizabeth's horses.
Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry said the following:
The Royal Family are not expected to be questioned in this case, despite the odd nature of this case. The area and Sandringham estate are open to the public between April and November, so police are looking closely at people who held, or worked at, events in August or September of this previous year. The only person to be questioned thusfar is the man who found the body, a dogwalker.
This case perplexes me on many levels. I may be wrong in making this analogy, but it seems the proximity of where the body was found is akin to a body being found on the White House. Further, this isn't the first time a body has been discovered in the area. In March of 2010, American Robert James Moore, described as a "loner and obsessed with the queen", was found 100 yards from Buckingham Palace. The remains had been there for approximately 3 years, and police also suspected foul play, although no arrests were ever made.
If this were a one-time thing, I'd be curious, but with two unresolved incidents of foul play, I find myself highly suspicious. Personally, I think the Royal Family in this case should at least be looked into, especially given the odd circumstances and this not being the first time a body was discovered long after its death, and under suspicious circumstances at that. I'm not villifying them here, I have no substance by which to do so. But I do feel in the process of trying to ascertain the truth, no one should be above reproach.
Thoughts on this? Any discussion regarding this story is welcome.
