New Dundee leads in 1974 headless woman murder mystery

New Dundee leads in 1974 headless woman murder mystery

Cold case detectives investigating a historical murder in England have received calls with new information since issuing an appeal to Dundonians.

It was revealed last month that officers from Norfolk believe a woman, whose headless body was found in 1974, could have links to Dundee.

The woman whose identity is still unknown was discovered in heathland at Cockley Cley wearing a pink 1969 Marks & Spencer nightdress, and wrapped in a plastic cover with NCR written on it.

At the time, NCR had several factories dotted around Dundee.

A rope used to tie up the woman was also found to have been made in a factory in the city.

It is understood that cold case officers from Norfolk and Suffolk’s Major Investigation Team have taken a number of calls from people in Dundee offering them new information and potential leads to follow.

Officers are also believed to be planning to travel to Dundee in the near future to pursue other lines of inquiry.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Guy who has been investigating the case since 2007 previously said he was interested in locals re-reporting any historical missing women from 1974 if they are still missing even if the police were made aware of it at the time.

The appeal comes after police were recently able to determine the woman’s full DNA profile for the first time after scientific advances.

Detectives have already looked into the cases of 500 missing women and have found 263 of them alive and well.

Another 52 women who had been listed as missing were found to have died and 41 were eliminated through DNA profiles taken from their family members.

The victim is thought to have been aged between 23 and 35 and to have been about 5ft 2in.

Tests have also revealed that she was probably a mother.

Detectives also believe the woman may have been a Danish prostitute known as the Duchess.

The woman’s real name is not known but it is understood she may have worked as an escort in Great Yarmouth.
