Pamela Todd´s Final Steps
MERSEYSIDE Police is appealing for help in tracing a man seen near to where Pamela Todd's body was found.
Pamela Todd was a 32 year old mother of three whose body was found hidden on the Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee Nature Trail in Southport on 11 August 2003. Pamela had died as a result of wounds to her abdomen and injuries to her neck.
The Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Superintendent Mike Semple is making a new appeal in a bid to trace the whereabouts of a man seen in the area at the time of Pamela's death.
The Police are keen to stress that the man isn't a suspect, he is known to frequent the nature trail, tidying the area by collecting rubbish. He was seen in the area on the 10th August and is described as white, about 5'8" to 5'9" tall, about 12 stone in weight and in his late 50's. He had collar length hair which was slightly untidy, brown in colour with a ginger tint. He was clean shaven and was wearing a light coloured shirt and dark trousers he also wore a plain plastic orange band around his neck. He spoke with a local Southport accent.
Police have also be released CCTV pictures of Pamela taken in Southport only hours before she was last seen.
Pamela was last seen at 10pm on Thursday 7th August on the Promenade. Detectives would therefore urge anyone who saw her after this time to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Incident Team in Southport on 0151 777 3599 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
