The case of Blackpool teenager Charlene Downes is to be re-examined by an award winning private detective who specialises in cold case murders.
Schoolgirl Charlene went missing almost 19 years ago and is presumed dead but no body has ever been found and no-one held accountable. By her early teens, she had endured a troubled background and become the victim of abuse before being lured into carrying out sex acts for food in Blackpool back alleys.
Her work examining the 1990 killing of Darlington care worker Ann Heron was featured in a Channel 5 documentary led to fresh evidence being uncovered and there are hopes that a similar outcome could follow from her analysis of Charlene’s case. Ronay said: “We’ve got to be realistic here. We can’t expect her to roll in after 20 years and solve it. What we are hoping for is new leads or details for the police to investigate. What we’re also hoping is that because Jen is a woman, there might be other victims who are willing to come forward to speak with her.”
Speaking to LancsLive, Jen said she has been contacted by members of the public about multiple cases but rarely with as much evidence and information made available. She said there were no promises of answers but that she believes she can bring the case forward. Jen said there were a lot of issues at the start of the case in 2003 but said it was good that Lancashire Constabulary has admitted mistakes and is “trying to make it right”. She said she will look at the case from scratch, meaning no-one is ruled in or out of involvement and that she would welcome any family, friends or interested parties to get in touch.
“Perhaps we’ll get someone coming forward, this is something I get quite a lot. Some people don’t like to talk to the police.”
