Unidentified Woman Found Dead in London 18 Years Ago – New Image Released
Eighteen years after her mysterious death, a haunting image of an unidentified woman has finally been revealed. She was found dead in the River Brent on October 29, 2004, beneath what is now known as the WEM Tower London.
Police and Charity Join Forces to Crack Cold Case
Despite extensive investigations, authorities failed to identify her. Now, charity Locate International has released a forensic artist’s reconstruction to breathe new life into the unsolved case. Founder Dave Grimstead urges the public: “Any information, no matter how insignificant, could be critical.”
The image was crafted by forensic artist Hew Morrison as part of an appeal that also highlights personal items the woman carried, including a distinctive watch, jewellery, and a striking oil painting she left in a café on the building’s 21st floor — the presumed location before her death.
Clues from the Day of Death
- Witnesses saw her looking distressed in the lift of the tower shortly before her body was found.
- The oil painting left behind depicts two figures and numerous faces, with an empty white gap in the centre.
- She carried a black carrier bag marked “CPNY,” believed to be from Central Park retail chain in London.
- Other items included a used pack of Marlboro cigarettes, that day’s Guardian newspaper, and a seven-day bus pass issued on Seven Sisters Road.
Investigators believe she had ties to the Seven Sisters area and Wembley Point, but her true identity remains a mystery.
What We Know About “Wembley Point Woman”
Ms Grimstead reveals new witnesses have come forward recently, spurring hope for a breakthrough. “What’s unusual about this case is that we know many details — the only thing we don’t know is who she is or how she ended up at Wembley Point that day.”
The woman is described as Black, aged 20 to 40, and around 5’1″ to 5’3” tall. She was dressed in a maroon bomber jacket, black leather glove on her right hand, black polo jumper, claret crew-neck jumper, black tights, and black Skechers boots with a side zip and buckle.
Charity Appeals to Locals and Former Workers
Locate International is calling on anyone who worked in the building during that time — including companies like Loot, TNS, Loud and Clear Mental Health Advocacy, and the American University in London — to come forward. They also seek anyone involved in art exhibitions held at the tower.
If HR managers recall any employee suddenly vanishing in late October 2004, this information could be vital.
She was buried in a nameless common grave at Carpenders Park Lawn Cemetery near Watford.
