Carol Clarke was last seen getting into a car in March 1983.
Her body was discovered by a dog walker in reeds near a canal two days later.
The 32-year-old had been strangled and her neck was broken. Detectives launched a murder investigation but the killer has remained at large.
But Det Chief Insp Wayne Usher said officers have now received “new and significant information” that could unlock Carol’s mystery case.
He added: “While I cannot say more at the moment without putting inquiries at risk, it is an encouraging development.”
