00:00Do you recognise this woman? Well, Merseye Police hope that you do.
00:04A woman's body was found in the walled garden at Stanley Park and she remains unidentified as detectives hope a
00:10new facial reconstruction will help establish who she was.
00:14As part of our inquiries, we have done extensive CCTV work, forensic work, house to house, house to house.
00:21We've now spoken to over a thousand houses within the anfields and surrounding areas of the park and forensic work
00:29is ongoing.
00:30The image was created with specialist researchers at Liverpool John Moores University as part of the investigation into her death.
00:37So we tend to produce images in black and white, as you can see, because we don't know that colour
00:44information.
00:44But we want to enhance the image to the level that people will recognise that individual if possible.
00:52Police say the first confirmed sightings of the bags containing her remains was on the 13th of July, around six
00:59weeks before the woman's body was found on the 28th of August.
01:02She was discovered in bushes in the park's walled garden.
01:05She's described as white, around five foot two inches tall and of slight build and was wearing a pink Nike
01:11T-shirt.
01:11Detectives say DNA testing produced a profile, but no match was found on the national database.
01:18The woman had no teeth, so dental records could not be used.
01:21Thanks to FaceLab, they have been able to provide a representative image of the woman.
01:28What we now need to do is to identify who this woman is.
01:33We've had lots of calls.
01:34We've had over 181 names brought forward as part of this inquiry, but as yet we've been unable to identify
01:44who this deceased is.
01:46This is an appeal today to ask for anybody with any information.
01:50We have not given up on this investigation.
01:52We are really keen to identify who our victim is and who is the offender who remains outstanding at this
01:59time.
02:00Professor Caroline Wilkinson is a director at FaceLab and she's been telling us about the work that goes into recreating
02:07an image like this.
02:08We have a 3D computerised system and a database of anatomical structures in 3D.
02:17So that allows us to be able to take a skull model, usually from clinical imaging, in this case computer
02:25tomography, into our computer system.
02:28And then we can build the face through anatomical structures to get the overall proportions and shape.
02:34And then we use standards that are based on anatomy and measurements, craniometrics, to tell us about certain facial features.
02:43So we can build the face using the skull as the armature.
02:48Anyone with information can contact Merrisside Police on 101 or if you don't feel comfortable speaking to police directly, you
02:55can contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
