Two weeks on from the discovery of the body of a woman in Stanley Park, our enquiries remain ongoing to identify her and the person or persons responsible for her murder. To date, we have been unable to identify the woman despite repeated public appeals. ➡️ Following forensic tests, we have been able to establish a DNA profile for the woman but there is no match on the national DNA database. It has also not been possible to compare dental records. Detectives have been working round-the-clock to speak to potential witnesses and gather CCTV and forensic evidence. The occupants of 625 properties in areas surrounding the park have been spoken to via house-to-house and CCTV from 30 private and commercial cameras in the area recovered. So far, we have received 160 reports from members of the public and have eliminated 73 people from our enquiries after concerns were raised for people matching the description of the woman. 🚨 We are continuing to appeal for people to come forward with any information to help identify the woman who is described as white, believed to be around 70 years old, approximately 5ft 2in tall and of slight build, with strawberry blonde hair. She was found wearing a pink Nike T-shirt. Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector John Fitzgerald 🗣️ “Our investigation remains ongoing and we remain determined to identity the woman and find the person or persons responsible for her murder. “We are actively pursuing every call we receive to ensure that people are seen to be safe and well and can be eliminated from our enquiries. “We are continuing to appeal for anyone who has been in the area of Stanley Park over recent weeks who has seen anything suspicious to contact us and also ask anyone who may have flown a drone over the park over the past couple of months to check their footage for anything significant.”

We have launched a murder investigation following the discovery of the body of a woman in Stanley Park, Liverpool, yesterday, Friday 28 August.

An investigation is ongoing and CCTV, witness and forensic enquiries are in the process of being carried out. Preliminary enquiries suggest the woman’s body could have been there for a number of weeks. Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson said: “We understand that this will be distressing and worrying for people to hear and I want the local community to be reassured that we are doing everything in our powers to find the person or persons responsible and bring them to justice. “We have carried out a number of lines of enquiry, including examining any missing people reports in the Merseyside and wider area, but at this stage we have not been able to identify the woman and would ask for the public’s help by coming forward with any information. “We know she is a white woman, aged in her 70s, approximately 5ft 2in tall, of small build with strawberry blonde hair. “When she was found she was wearing a distinctive cerise pink Nike T-shirt. “Do you recognise the description of the woman or do you have any information about who she is? Please come forward and tell us what you know. “I would also ask any walkers or dog walkers who have been in the park, and specifically the area of the walled garden, in recent days or weeks - have you seen or heard anyone acting suspiciously or do you have any information which could assist our investigation? Please speak to us as a matter of urgency.” A police cordon remains place inside the park while enquiries remain ongoing and anyone with concerns is asked to speak to police officers at the scene.

You do not need a referral or to have reported an incident to Merseyside Police before you access these specialist support services. These services can support you in a variety of ways, including offering a confidential discussion if you are thinking of making a police report, but are unsure what that involves and would like to discuss it. If you do decide to report to Merseyside Police, you will receive support throughout the investigation, court process and beyond. You can choose to make an anonymous report through the Sexual Assault Referral Centre called Safe Place, or the Independent Sexual Violence Advisor service, rather than coming directly to Merseyside Police. With no police involvement, a specialist doctor at Safe Place can examine you to check that you are ok and look for DNA evidence, which they will store to support your case. This gives you the option of making a formal police report at a later time, if you choose to. Support is also available in Liverpool, Sefton and Wirral, from Rape and Sexual Abuse Support (RASA) Merseyside who are available on 0151 558 1801 and, in St Helens and Knowsley, by the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre (RASASC) Cheshire and Merseyside who can be contacted on 01925 221 546 or 0330 363 0063.
