At approximately 5 p.m. on 20 February 1921, Venn left the family home on Allison Road to run some errands in the village of North Motton—a distance of approximately three miles—and never returned home. A search was mounted but it was not until the morning of March 1 that Venn's mutilated body was found in a hollow tree stump located close to the road where Venn would have travelled as she walked to North Motton.[4] Another source gives differing details: The murder purportedly occurred on 26 February 1921.[5] The body was not mutilated and Venn had either been suffocated or strangled. George William King was tried for the crime in a trial that commenced 2 August 1921. The trial had been moved from the North West Coast of Tasmania to Hobart, the first change of venue ever requested and approved for a trial in Tasmania. George William King was defended by Albert Ogilvie, who went on to become Premier of Tasmania. King was acquitted of the murder.[6] George William KingKing had been a member of the search party. He became a suspect in Venn's murder due to marks on his hands that he ascribed to an accident during the search for Venn.[4] King, a 35-year-old former miner and policeman, was arrested on 8 March and charged with her murder.[7] King's trial started in Hobart during June and on 11 August he was acquitted.[8] Burial and ghostVenn was interred at the North Motton Methodist Cemetery.[9][10] Her ghost is claimed to haunt the area of her murder.[11] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Murder of Chrissie Venn |date=4 April 1921 |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/106595799 |accessdate=24 January 2019|publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald}} 2. ^Eva May Chilcott profile - Mundia (Private profile) 3. ^Shakespeare, N (2010) In Tasmania: Adventures at the End of the World, Random House, P270 4. ^1 Shakespeare, N (2010) In Tasmania: Adventures at the End of the World, Random House, P273 5. ^{{cite news|title=Murder of Chrissie Venn |date=4 April 1921 |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/106595799 |accessdate=24 January 2019|publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald}} 6. ^{{cite book| title=Chrissie Venn: Suffer Little Children| author=Smith, Noel, Smith, Lucy.| publisher=Nemesis Publications| location=Tasmania| year=2000| isbn=0-9578139-0-2}} 7. ^Burnie Advocate, 23 March 192 8. ^The Adelaide Advertiser 12 August 1921 9. ^Central Coast Council - - Tasmania 10. ^[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/109708585 Chrissie Venn at Find a Grave] 11. ^Shakespeare, N (2010) In Tasmania: Adventures at the End of the World, Random House, P279 Bibliography
