"I'll never forget the morning I was told my classmate had been killed. We must keep her memory alive'

Neil Stephan will never forget that morning 38 years ago.

Lisa Hession, a cross country runner with Leigh Harriers, talented gymnast and confident 14-year-old, had been strangled in an alleyway 200 yards from her home in the town.
