Janet Murgatroyd

The 15th of June 1996 was a memorable day for many people in the UK. The country was hosting the Euro football championships with England and Scotland playing against each other that day as well as the tragic IRA bomb that detonated in Manchester. 20 year old Janet Murgatroyd was out in Preston with her friend shopping for a 10 week backpacking trip around Europe and they were both excited. When Janet's body was found in the River Ribble the next morning, a huge investigation was launched to try and find the killer. Despite a two murder trials, her case is still unsolved.
