Story summary

Detectives are reissuing an appeal to identify a woman whose body was found in a park in Anfield, Liverpool, two weeks after her discovery. The victim is believed to be around 70 years old and was wearing a pink Nike T-shirt when her body was discovered in a bin bag on August 28 at around 5:25pm in Stanley Park. Despite knocking on 625 doors and examining footage from 30 CCTV cameras, police still do not know who she is or how she died, as they have been unable to match her DNA with anyone in national databases or through dental records. The park lies between the homes of Liverpool FC and Everton FC's stadiums. Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the woman and are urging anyone who may recognize her or have information about suspicious activity around the park on the day she was found to come forward. So far, 160 members of the public have reported potential information, but police still need more leads to crack the case.
