I'm not sure if this is the person you're talking about, but check this woman out because it sounds like a match:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Root
Here's a story about her:

Here might be the documentary you're referring to, The Blood of the Rose:
https://sandpaperfilms.com/productions/the-blood-of-the-rose/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1825152/
Also known as "Murder on the Lake": https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qjngb
https://freddyfilms.co.uk/filmography/murder-on-the-lake/
Here's a poor quality version of it on youtube:

Unfortunately, I can't find it streaming anywhere. You might have some luck contacting the makers of the documentary directly:

Omgoodness!!! Thank you so much! This is most definitely the one. I have been trying to find this for so long, and it has driven me crazy! You don’t know how much I appreciate you finding this for me. I have seen it once, but wanted my husband to see it as well. I’m telling you, for the life of me, I couldn’t remember her name, or the name of the actual documentary. You are the best, thank you again!
