Lindsay: The hunt for her killer will go on
DETECTIVES IN West Yorkshire are still hunting the killer of Calderdale schoolgirl Lindsey Rimer 25 years on after her disappearance.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the disappearance of Hebden Bridge schoolgirl Lindsay Rimer.
The 13-year-old left her home in Cambridge Street to buy cornflakes but never returned.
Her body was found five months later in Rochdale Canal.
Lindsay, a pupil at Calder High School at the time, had left for the Spar supermarket in Crown Street at around 10pm on November 7, 1994.
Police know she called in to the Trades Club in Holme Street on her way to the supermarket and, according to the CCTV footage in the supermarket, Lindsay paid for the cornflakes at 10.22pm.
That was the last time she was seen alive.
On Wednesday, April 12, 1995, her body was recovered from the Rochdale Canal, approximately a mile upstream from Hebden Bridge town centre.
Over the last few years, Lindsay’s sisters Kate and Juliet have both made emotional pleas for anyone harbouring information that could lead to justice for their sister to come forward.
In November 2016, Andy Glover, one of the workmen who made the grim discovery spoke for the first time about the effect it had on him and
