The hunt for Michelle Bettles' killer is one of the biggest cases Norfolk police has handled, with 674 DNA profiles taken and more than 9,000 statements collected.

Over the years, officers have questioned three suspects, but when their alibis checked out they were released.

The original inquiry also identified the DNA of an individual, but that line of enquiry ended with the person eliminated as a suspect.

Michelle was the one of four women who had been Norwich prostitutes to vanish from the city streets in the space of a decade.

The other three were: Natalie Pearman, 16, who was found strangled to death and dumped in a lay-by at Ringland Hills outside Norwich in 1992; Kellie Pratt, 29, who disappeared from the red light district in 2000; and Hayley Curtis, 23, who was violently beaten and murdered in 2000.

Philip Stanley was convicted of Ms Curtis' murder in 2005 and is serving a life sentence, but the other cases remain unsolved.

Police examined possible connections to Suffolk serial killer Steve Wright, who had run the Ferry Boat pub in Norwich's red light district, but did not actively link him.

Much of the initial inquiries into Michelle’s murder involved tracing her movements in Norwich on the night of March 28 and cold case officers are still investigating new potential sightings following the fresh appeal for information earlier this year.

“There are several sightings of her, six in fact in and around Queen’s Road, City Road and Ber Street areas of Norwich, which was a red light district at the time,” said Andy Guy, major crime review manager.

“There are numerous sightings of her there. We believe she was working there up until around midnight of that evening.”
