POLICE investigating the murder of an 11-year-old girl whose mutilated body was found on moorland 30 years ago are using the anniversary to step up the hunt for her killer.
Lesley Molseed, then 11, left her Rochdale home at midday on Sunday, October 5, 1975, on an errand for her mother, but never returned.
Three days later her body was found on the moors just off the A672 in Ripponden, West Yorkshire.
Tax clerk Stefan Kizsko was convicted of the killing, but cleared in 1991.
Now 30 years after the youngster went missing, the officer in charge of the investigation, Supt Max McLean, said his team of officers were determined to identify the killer.
"I strongly believe there is someone, somewhere who knows something about this crime and has not come forward to talk to us," he told BBC Manchester.
