When Veronica Anderson asked a neighbour to watch her six-year-old son on a summer night in 1991 she said "she would not be gone long".
But after the popular businesswoman, known as Vera, disappeared into the night she was never seen alive by her family again. Where she was going, or who she was meeting, remains a mystery - the only clue being a phone-call she received shortly before leaving her home in Hadfield Close, Widnes.
Vera was found slumped over the front seats of her blue X-reg Ford Cortina car with her throat slashed, on land off Tannery Lane in Penketh, Warrington, in the early hours of August 25, that year. No-one has ever been charged in connection with her death.
