The Rimer family have renewed their appeal for information about Lindsay’s murder<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

The family of a murdered woman have held a memorial event 30 years after her disappearance.<\/p>\n

Lindsay Rimer left her home in Hebden Bridge on November 7, 1994, and her body was found in the Rochdale canal a year later.<\/p>\n

Lindsay\u2019s sister, Kate Rimer, said the event at Calder Holmes Park, attended by more than 100 people, was to thank the community for supporting the family and reignite the appeal for information.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cFor a long time we\u2019ve been aware of the effect of Lindsay\u2019s murder on the whole town and today is to try to show that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Rimer added: \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly aware that there were children Lindsay\u2019s age who were massively impacted by her disappearance and her murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve all grown up. They\u2019re now in their forties with families.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are shopkeepers, business owners, residents who have been here a very long time and who were as rocked as we were as a family after the disappearance of my sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott Borrows, who went to school with Lindsay, was among those attending the event and said he hoped the renewed appeal would lead to new information.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve come to hope that somebody will come forward and pull on their conscience and admit to what they\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all got older and Lindsay hasn\u2019t. She\u2019s still a little girl.<\/p>\n

“It resonates more the older you get.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look back and think she\u2019s so small, she was a baby really.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"About<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

More than 100 people gathered to remember Lindsay Rimer<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Neighbour Cynthia Gault, who knew Lindsay as a child, said she joined the searches at the time of her disappearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a huge, terrible tragedy for the whole town and everybody who was here then remembers it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s the understanding about how it must feel for the whole family to have lost someone and not know how or why or have any resolution. <\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just an open-ended tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also at the memorial event was Gordon Frankland, who said despite not living in Hebden Bridge at the time of Lindsay\u2019s murder he still felt the impact on the community.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI know that this case has affected the community every day in effect and we just want to show support for the Rimer family and everyone who\u2019s been affected by it.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo think that someone could still be out there who knows something in the community or was involved in some way, it\u2019s a daily occurrence for some people.\u201d<\/p>\n
