Detectives investigating the unsolved murder of a Leeds woman have appealed for an anonymous caller to come forward.
The body of 32-year-old Yvonne Fitt was found at Lindley Wood, near Otley, on September 12, 1992. She had been stabbed to death.
The young mother and prostitute, who was last seen in Bradford, on January 16, had been dead for some time.
Despite an appeal on BBC Crimewatch nobody has ever been brought to justice.
Today – 27 years after Yvonne's body was found – police have appealed for an anonymous caller who rang police back in 1992 after seeing a reconstruction of her last known movements on the programme.
The caller gave the name of a suspect and detectives have opened a direct phone line for the caller – or anyone with further information about the case – to ring.
Leading the cold case investigation is Detective Chief Inspector Emma Winfield.
Det Chf Insp Winfield said: "Yvonne was a daughter, a sister and a young mother with a life ahead of her.
"Her mother, who spoke emotionally about her daughter during the Crimewatch show, died not knowing who did this to her daughter.
"Yvonne was brutally killed and then left without any dignity. Despite the passage of time we remain committed as ever to getting justice for her and her family.
"We have spoken to Yvonne’s family and they want to know who killed her.
"And this is why I am appealing directly to an individual who called Crimewatch back in November, 1992 with information that could be vital to our investigation.
"I appreciate this call was made a long time ago but nearly three decades have now passed since Yvonne was murdered and this call was made. She would have celebrated her 60th birthday this year had she still been alive.
"With the passage of time allegiances change and people move on. I need this person to pick up the phone and give us a call.
"We will have a dedicated phone number to call and you will be able to speak directly to staff involved in the investigation.
"I would also appeal to anyone else who has information about the case who has not previously come forward to get in contact."
