The body of a mum was found in a fire pit near a disused railway line years after she went missing.
Paula Hounslea was uncovered by a dog walker near the loop line cycle path in Fazakerley in May 2012 - three years after she went missing from her West Derby home. Paula, who was 37 at the time of her disappearance, worked as a bartender and seamstress and lived with her only daughter Lois on Culme Road.
Paula had gone to the Phoenix Palace on West Derby Road, known as Chows, for a family meal the day before her disappearance. The following morning, August 22, 2009, Lois claimed Paula had told her she was going to stay with a friend called Vicky for a few days.
