Detective Chief Inspector Carl Foster from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “While no-one has ever been charged in connection with Carol’s death we remain committed to bringing those responsible to justice and finding out the truth for her family.
“I want people to know that no murder investigation is ever closed. Our Cold Case Unit reviews every unsolved murder and works tirelessly to explore all investigative opportunities which are available.
“That includes new evidence from witnesses or people with information – it’s never too late to share something which could help this investigation. Any details, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, could be vital.”
