Parents' desperate appeal with £20,000 reward over murder of daughter 27 years ago

Christina Menzies was just 16 years old when she was killed in Germany where her father, Staff Sergeant John Menzies, was stationed at the time. On the night of Saturday 12 June 1993, she visited Club 47, which is located at RAF Gutersloh Station. She never returned home and her body was discovered the next day (Sunday 13 June 1993) around 10 kilometres away. She had been strangled.

Those who can provide information as to Christina’s whereabouts between leaving the club at around midnight on 12 June 1993 and the discovery of her body at 4.45pm on Sunday 13 June 1993 are urged to come forward.

Information is also sought about Christina's shoes, a pair of black leather-heeled shoes with a cross-over securing strap and metal buckle, which were missing when her body was discovered; and, a Union Jack duvet cover which may have been used to cover or move her body.

It’s hoped that there may be someone who has held back information because they did not want others to know they were there or because they may have been protecting friends.

***A reward of up to £20,000 is available for information given exclusively to our charity that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Christina Menzies’ murder***
