Nearly 30 years after Melanie Hall vanished, Crimestoppers has offered a hefty reward to crack her murder case. The 25-year-old disappeared from a Bath nightclub in the early hours of 9 June 1996, never to return home.

Tragic Discovery on M5 Slip Road

In October 2009, Melanie’s remains were found dumped in black bin bags on the M5 northbound slip road near Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. Forensic tests confirmed the grisly find was indeed Melanie.

Anonymous Tip-Offs Urgently Needed

Crimestoppers, an independent charity, is desperate for information leading to Melanie’s killer. They offer 100% anonymity for anyone with tips but who don’t want to speak directly to the police.

Melanie’s family, from Bradford Leigh near Bradford-on-Avon, still waits for justice. This fresh appeal could be the breakthrough needed to finally solve this chilling cold case.
