Three decades after the murder of 20-year-old university student , investigators believe that a missing piece of clothing could help unlock one of Lancashire's most troubling unsolved cases. Police have appealed once again for any information regarding the case, hoping that advances in DNA technology and forensic science may finally identify the person responsible for her death.
Murgatroyd, a University of Central Lancashire student and part-time staff at Lancashire Police headquarters in Hutton, was found lifeless in the River Ribble near Preston on 16 June 1996. The evening before she was brutally murdered, she had celebrated with a friend before heading home, but she never arrived. Her death's investigation remains open.
