Twenty years ago this week, the nation was shocked by the disappearance of two schoolgirls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, during their school summer holidays.
But following the actions of a hero reader calling the Grimsby Telegraph 12 days later, Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr, from Grimsby, were detained and questioned.
After checking the newspaper archives at the suggestion of the caller, a reporter in the Grimsby newsroom alerted Humberside Police to the link with earlier investigations into Huntley, reported Grimsby Live.
