What happened to Lindsay Rimer: Family of murdered Hebden Bridge schoolgirl asking people who knew her to share their memories as they mark 30 years of still not knowing what happened to her

The loved ones of Hebden Bridge’s Lindsay Rimer are preparing to mark 30 years since she disappeared – and they still do not know what happened to her.

The 13-year-old left her home in Cambridge Street to buy cornflakes on November 7 1994 but never returned.

Her body was found five months later in Rochdale Canal but, despite extensive police inquiries, her killer has never been found.
