Appeal for information on the anniversary of the death of a woman from Widnes

Detectives have renewed their appeal for information on 30 years since the death of a Widnes woman.

Mother-of-two Veronica Anderson, known as Vera, left her home in Widnes at 10.10pm on Saturday 24 August 1991 after receiving a phone call.

Just hours later (shortly after 3am on Sunday 25th August 1991) the 42-year-old was found dead in her car off Tannery Lane in Penketh, Warrington.

A murder investigation was subsequently launched by Cheshire Constabulary. However, despite extensive and exhaustive enquiries over the years, no-one has ever been convicted in connection with her death.

On the 30^th anniversary of Vera’s death, officers are appealing for anyone who has any information about the case, to come forward.

Detective Inspector Adam Waller  said: “Vera’s family have been left devastated by her death and have had to live with what happened since 1991.

“The family have never received closure from Vera’s death and I would appeal to anyone with information to come forward.  Someone must know what had happened that day and I would appeal to them to come forward.  We appreciate that 30 years is a long time ago but the smallest detail may help us in bringing justice for Vera and her family."
