A cold case team is 'on the hunt for fresh leads' as they look into the disappearance of the suspected murdered teen Charlene Downes.
The 14-year-old vanished on November 1, 2003, when she failed to show up at her home in Blackpool. Ahead of the 20th anniversary of her disappearance, a cold case unit from Leeds Trinity University said it is re-examining the evidence.
As reported by the Mirror, police over the years have tied the case to a child sex ring in the town who they suspect had been grooming her. Two men were charged and tried, but nobody was ever convicted.
