CASE SUMMARY

On December the 8th 1984, a concerned mother in the small town of Leigh took to the streets in search of her teenage daughter who had failed to return home from a small gathering with friends by the agreed time of 10:30pm.

The teen was sadly found dead in an alleyway just a few hundred meters from her home close to midnight. She had been violently assaulted and strangled to death with an item of clothing.

A spate of attacks on young women and girls within the same area in the months prior to the murder led investigators, the media and the local community to question if a serial offender had escalated their behaviour – and, whether they would strike again.
