At 3.30pm a friend on a passing bus saw Ann sunbathing in her bikini in front of the house - she had been forced to move to the front of the house to sunbathe, as a tractor nearby had been blowing grass towards the back garden. Just three years after her death, Peter remarried - and for years he was at the forefront of suspicion. While Peter was enjoying his lunch break, Ann said that she was going to spend the afternoon in the back garden making the most of the 1990 heatwave - and the hottest day of the year. She first married Ralph Cockburn, however the pair later separated and Ann moved to England. Peter then left to go back to work at around 2pm, and just half an hour later, a friend of Ann's spoke to her on the phone - which she recalled as a happy and cheerful conversation. As he entered the house he discovered Ann's radio was still on, along with her book and cigarettes. Peter was married when the pair first met and already had three children, but the pair began an affair and in 1986 he divorced his wife and married Ann. Who was Ann Heron and what happened to her? Peter worked as a company director of a haulage firm and Ann had a part-time job working as a care assistant at a local care home.
