In 1937 a parcel was delivered to a small house in a Dorset village

 

It was never opened and placed in a cupboard

 

Where it remained until about two weeks ago

 

The parcel was addressed to one of the most celebrated spies that the UK has ever produced

 

Her code name was Muriel

 

Nothing more was heard of Muriel after October 1937

 

She was last seen at a local bakers collecting bread

 

Many theories have been put forward

 

But none have solved her disappearance

 

This mystery is over eighty years old

 

When I first found the parcel I did not open it

 

As I needed time to think

 

But my curiosity got the better of me

 

And I opened the small parcel in the kitchen yesterday morning

 

To my surprise it contained nothing more than a small cardboard box

 

Which in turn contained a photograph of Muriel which had been defaced

 

My name is Julia

 

Had been crudely written on the photograph in blue ink
