An appeal for information on the murder of a 64-year-old Holyhead woman more than 16 years ago is to be featured on BBC One’s Crimewatch programme this week.
A reconstruction of Doreen Morris’ last known movements will be aired on Wednesday, 28th of April, in the hope that somebody who has information may come forward.
The 64-year-old’s badly burnt remains were discovered at her home address on Mill Lane during the early hours of Friday, March 25th 1994.
Mrs Morris was a healthy and popular lady whose life ended in a tragic way. She lived alone with her two dogs in a rural area on the outskirts of Holyhead and was last seen alive on Thursday, March 24th 1994.
“The reconstruction will take viewers back to 1994, which we hope will help jog people’s memories,” said Detective Chief Inspector John Hanson, from the Force’s Major Incident Team.
“Mrs Morris’ family are also featured in the appeal, talking of the trauma they have suffered as a result of her murder.”
He added: “We are very grateful to have the opportunity to broadcast this appeal nationally and we hope to receive a good response.”
Officers continue to believe that there are people in the community who have the information that is needed to successfully resolve this investigation, and have, so far, had a positive response to the investigation.
North Wales Police are continuing to offer a reward of £100,000 to anyone with information which will lead to the arrest, charge and conviction of Mrs Morris’ killer(s).
Posters have also been distributed by the local Neighbourhood Policing Team in local shops and cafes, and over 11,500 leaflets have been distributed in the area by Royal Mail.
DCI Hanson added: “The investigation has not and will not close until it is resolved, and we can offer support and protection to anyone who has information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of Doreen Morris’ killers.”
Anybody with information, however insignificant, is urged to contact the Major Incident Team in St Asaph, or local officers at Holyhead Police Station on 101, if you are calling from Wales, 0845 607 1001 (Welsh line), 0845 607 1002 (English line) or Crimestoppers Wales anonymously on 0800 555 111.
