Melissa’s brother, Mr Peter Hallett, spoke to police 

​

“Melissa was deeply loved by our family and we have never stopped missing her and desperately wishing that her life had not been cut short,” 

​

“We should not just have memories of Melissa’s beautiful dark eyes, her mischievous laugh, musical talent, eye for detail, passion for writing and fierce love for her family and two children – we should all be able to hold her now.

“After 26 years of despairing grief, we are hoping that someone will come forward and help police identify those responsible for her death.

“Melissa was robbed of her life and of her right to know and love her children, and as a family we cannot rest until justice is served.”
