''The Major Incident Review Team uses modern technology such as DNA analysis to revisit crimes from as long ago as the 1960s in the hope of securing a conviction.
The workload is mainly sexual assaults but there are also high-profile murder cases, such as the 1964 killing of Rotherham schoolgirl Anne Dunwell.''
''There are 35 unsolved murders in the force area, including that of 13-year-old Anne Dunwell, who was strangled with her own stockings and sexually assaulted in the mining town of Maltby.
She had been returning home after visiting her aunt when she was attacked. Although new lines of inquiry were explored in subsequent years, her killer was never identified and Anne's father died without seeing anyone held responsible.''
''Anyone who wishes to report historic serious sexual offences should contact the force at majorincidentreviewteam@southyorks.pnn.police.uk''
