Thirty one years ago today just after 3am a mother-of-two was found murdered in her own car. A mystery phone call had led to the death of Veronica Anderson.
Known as Vera, she left her home in Widnes at 10.10pm on Saturday August 24th 1991 after receiving the call. Five hours later she was discovered with her throat cut in her blue Ford Cortina.
Whoever made the call, and whatever they said, made her leave the house in Hadfield Close in a hurry and get a neighbour to babysit her seven-year-old son. She drove her son to the neighbour's home saying she would be back in ten minutes as she "had an appointment". She never returned.
