Last minute thought..

Hi! I'm writing a blog on this case, and one thing that kept sticking in my head when I was researching it is the nearby military bases. I know that RAF Lakenheath still only has US personnel, even now, and it's about a 25 minute drive from the spot where she was found. How likely do you think...

  ''Isabella Skelton, originally from Glasgow, was last seen in the Crumpsall area of Manchester on June 5, 1969. The mother-of-three, 35, had moved south with her family in the 1960s before disappearing days before the 15th birthday of her daughter, Lynda Chapman. Mrs Chapman, 69, appeared on BBC One's Crimewatch Live to urge people to come forward, the Daily Record reported.''

''Greater Manchester Police confirmed in December the case had been classed as a murder inquiry. One man has been interviewed under caution on suspicion of her murder but no one has been charged. ''

''A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: "This has been a complex and protracted investigation, and at this stage, all conventional lines of enquiry in our search for Isabella, have been exhausted. As with all complex investigations like this, we will continue to keep an open mind, and should new evidence come to light, we will follow all lines of enquiry to provide Isabella's family with the answers they deserve. Needless to say, such cases are never closed, and we would be grateful for any new lines of enquiry or information."

Glasgow-born Ms Skelton, nee McDowall, mother of three children, moved to Manchester in the early 1960s, first living in Salford and then in Crumpsall.

She worked at Atlas Express in Blackfriars, Salford and is also believed to have worked at Gallagher Cigarettes and Ball Bearings Services, the latter at the time of her disappearance, police said.

"We really need to hear from anyone who knew Isabella when she was living in Crumpsall or has seen her since," he said.

"Perhaps she's moved on to Glasgow and assumed another identity but I think that's unlikely.
