The body of the woman - thought to be aged between 26 and 40 - was found by a dog walker on March 21.
Detectives trying to establish the identity of a diminutive woman whose body was found floating down the River Mersey eight months ago have broadened their probe - and are searching missing person databases across Europe to solve a riddle that has so far baffled investigators.
As part of its investigation, GMP released an image on Friday of a facial reconstruction of the woman. They hope the haunting image created by experts at Liverpool John Moores University will help to crack the case, and encourage someone who knows here to get in touch. Police worked with Face Lab, a research group at Liverpool John Moores University, on the reconstruction. Specialists use portraits and skeletal remains to analyse and reconstruct the faces of historical figures and often support police with forensic cases.
"The socks she was wearing are quite distinctive, because they're the type that used in hospitals and care facilities," Det Insp Edwards said. "But they can be purchased online as well. We urge people to think about that clothing and try and remember if any of their family or friends have been wearing those items.
