A man has refuted allegations of killing a young girl over thirty years ago, whose body was discovered in a canal. West Yorkshire Police provided an update on the 1994 Lindsay Rimer case, confirming the arrest of a man at an undisclosed UK prison by the Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team.
Lindsay, aged 13, went missing in November 1994 after visiting local shops in Hebdon Bridge, West Yorkshire. She was last seen at a convenience store on Crown Street after purchasing cornflakes. CCTV footage captured her at the store before she vanished. Her disappearance was reported the next day when she failed to complete her paper round. Tragically, her body was found five months later in a canal about a mile from her residence.
Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle, the Senior Investigating Officer, issued a statement regarding the arrest, revealing that the man was already serving a sentence for other crimes. The statement emphasized the commitment to seeking justice for Lindsay and providing closure for her family after all these years.
Despite the decades passed since Lindsay’s murder, authorities believe there are individuals with crucial information that could aid in solving the case. The public is encouraged to come forward with any relevant details by contacting the police or Crimestoppers anonymously.
