Murder investigation of teenage girl, 14, who was killed walking home in Wakefield is reopened after 50 years after police ID new suspect
Elsie Frost was 14-years-old when she was murdered on October 9, 1965
She was stabbed in the back and head in Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Police re-open investigation and want to find man in white coat on bike
Elsie may also have been meeting someone in secret, perhaps a boyfriend
Cold case detectives from West Yorkshire have reviewed the case in the past to see if there was any fresh evidence, but have never mounted a full scale re-investigation until now.
The team is making use of the extra capacity provided by the investigators - many of whom are retired detectives - to fully re-examine documents from the time for possible new leads and interview interested parties.
DCI Belton said: 'The re-investigation has been progressing well and we have uncovered new lines of enquiry. We now believe at least one person, who was never interviewed at the time, was seen near the location where Elise was murdered on the canal towpath on that afternoon on October 9.
'He was described as white 25 – 30 years old riding a black bike with a basket on the front and wearing a white lab type coat possibly of the style then worn by someone who could have been a delivery boy, butcher or abattoir worker. Clearly we are keen to identify that individual.

I must be having a mental block as I can't work out if this means the files have been unsealed or if there were only parts of the information sealed.
I cannot find if they now have the killers DNA either.
