Well, she was living alone on a house on the edge of Dartmoor, which is one of the last remaining wilderness in southern England, so quite a remote area.
She was found dead with serious injuries.
When the news of her death was initially put out, there was just a general sort of sense of sadness that she died.
And then during the course of Friday, it became clear this was not just a normal death at home, but an incident that the police were treating as murder.
They picked up a 26-year-old white male, arrested him, but he has now been released and is no longer part of the investigation.
So the investigation continues.
But as you say, the circumstances and the motive behind what happened, this terrible incident, still unknown.
Well, it's a very interesting question because the person they obviously had initially identified as being the prime suspect is now missing.
So there's been no update from the police to change their initial assessment that there wasn't a political or a terrorist motive.
That's certainly the view that's been taken by people in the heart of government as well.
They're obviously working hand in glove with the police on this.
Because, obviously, if there were to be a political motive, and you mentioned in your introduction there, there's numerous attacks on British politicians and indeed murders of two politicians in the last few years, that would take it to a different level entirely.
But at the moment, as I said, that is not the premise of the police investigation.
Not really, no.
They haven't said a great deal about this.
They said that right at the outset they were looking for a white male, and they picked him up in a place called Newton Abbot, which is about 10 miles away from where Anne of Widdicombe lived, so quite nearby.
So they made some very quick progress, or at least they thought they were making quick progress.
But the news came out today that he's now been released.
And they say that the investigation is moving ahead at speed, which you obviously would expect.
There are uniformed officers in place around the village of Haytor, which is, as I mentioned, in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor as well.
