She likely trapped him inside the chamber — either out of revenge or in a moment of passion and fury — leading to his death ([[MUSG]] {{refcanon|MUSG|339}}).<br /> <br /> * She disappeared soon after. Her footprints led to the edge of the mere (lake), where the bag containing the crown and coins was found ([[MUSG]] {{refcanon|MUSG|159}}). Her body was never recovered, and [[Sherlock Holmes]] suspected she escaped abroad ([[MUSG]] {{refcanon|MUSG|387}}).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> [[Category:Characters (all stories)|Howells, Rachel]]<br /> [[Category:Characters (Sherlock Holmes stories)|Howells, Rachel]]<br /> [[Category:Criminals|Howells, Rachel]]</div>
