00:00A £20,000 reward is being offered to find the killer of Diane Sindel in Wirral.
00:06Nearly 40 years on, the search continues for the person responsible for the murder of 21-year-old Diane.
00:13Diane was killed in the early hours of Saturday, 2 August, in 1986,
00:19and her body was found in an alleyway off Borough Road.
00:22She had suffered extensive injuries and her cause of death was a cerebral hemorrhage.
00:27At the time, police conducted a full investigation, but DNA technology was still in its early stages.
00:34In 2023, the case was reopened after new DNA evidence showed no match with the man originally convicted.
00:41Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson said that despite decades passing,
00:46investigators believe people with knowledge of the crime may still come forward.
00:50Authorities have already eliminated 461 men from the investigation
