A man has refuted allegations of killing a young girl over 30 years ago, when her body was discovered in a canal.
West Yorkshire Police provided an update on the Lindsay Rimer case from 1994. The Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team disclosed that they apprehended a man at a UK prison.
Lindsay, aged 13, vanished after visiting a shop in Hebdon Bridge, West Yorkshire, to purchase cornflakes in November 1994. She had stopped by the Trades Club on Holme Street to collect money from her mother before heading to the Spar convenience store on Crown Street.
Surveillance footage captured Lindsay buying cereal in the store and leaving at 10:23 pm. She was reported missing to the authorities the next day when she did not show up for her paper route. Tragically, her body was discovered five months later in a canal about a mile away from her residence.
Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle, the Senior Investigating Officer, issued a statement regarding the man’s arrest. The individual was already serving a sentence at the prison for other offenses. The statement emphasized the commitment to seeking justice for Lindsay and providing her family with much-needed answers.
Despite the decades that have passed since Lindsay’s tragic death, the investigation remains active in the pursuit of justice and closure for her family. The public has been urged to come forward with any pertinent information that could aid in the case.
