This Friday, “Crimewatch Live” examines the haunting unsolved murder of Lindsay Rimer, a case that has cast a long shadow over the town of Hebden Bridge for over three decades. In 1994, 13-year-old Lindsay vanished, her body tragically discovered five months later in the Rochdale Canal. Now, the BBC’s flagship crime program revisits this cold case, hoping to unearth new leads and finally bring closure to Lindsay’s family.
The episode, airing at 10:45 AM on BBC One, will present a fresh look at the investigation, using modern policing techniques to re-examine the evidence. The team will make a direct appeal to the public, hoping that someone, somewhere, holds a vital piece of information that could crack the case wide open. Even the smallest detail, long forgotten, could prove crucial in solving this enduring mystery.
But “Crimewatch Live” isn’t just about looking back. The program also tackles contemporary crime, with a segment dedicated to a gang targeting men through online dating apps. The episode aims to raise awareness of the dangers lurking on these platforms and to empower viewers with knowledge to protect themselves.
