Melanie Hall Murder: 30th Anniversary Appeal

0:00On March 4, police and Avon and Somerset are renewing their appeal for tips in the unsolved murder of Melanie Hall, a 25-year-old who disappeared almost 30 years ago. Her partial remains turned up in 2009 along the M5 motorway near Junction 14, after she was last seen leaving a bath nightclub. That night, June 9, 1996, Melanie had been out with friends at Cadillac's on Walcott Street. The city center buzzed with crowds thanks to England's Uroes opener against Switzerland, and she was spotted alone by the dance floor around 1-10-A, M, before her friends headed home. Her family has faced decades of heartache with no closure and detectives praised their resilience amid the long wait. They think she might have left for their killer since her checked coat was picked up or perhaps met someone outside or got into a car. Now, as the 30th anniversary nears, police won details from anyone at the club that night, or who noticed odd activity or parked cars on the M5 slip road in the days after.

1:02They're also seeking her blue dress, shoes, jacket, handbag, jewelry like a next-watch, and bank items, with crime stoppers offering up to 20, thousand pounds for info leading to an arrest. Anyone with even vague memories from that weekend could crack this case wide open, so they're urging calls to help bring justice after all these.
