A £50,000 reward remains for information which identifies her killer
The day after she died there was a new Number One in the pop charts - Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid. To mark the 40th anniversary of that song it has been re-released.
Ron Parry, and his son, Ronald, 13, had been walking their dog when they found Lisa's body in a ginnel behind Rugby Road, Leigh, at five minutes before midnight on Saturday, December 8, 1984. On the day she died, Lisa, aged 14 years and 8 months, had been to a small, early Christmas party at a friend’s house in Leigh Road, about two miles away from her home.
But someone either marched her or persuaded her to walk into that ginnel behind Rugby Road. Once there she was strangled with her own T-shirt as the attacker held his other hand over her mouth during a sexually motivated assault. Her killer has never been found. "We are setting off at 6.45pm. We are walking along West Bridgewater Street then onto St Helens Road, following the route that Lisa should have walked on the night she died - St Helens Road, Buck Street, Poplar Street, and then onto Bonnywell Road. Andrea and I will lead the walk.
