Police investigating the murder of clerical worker Melanie Hall who disappeared 20 years ago have recovered DNA evidence from where her remains were found. The killer of Melanie Hall could easily be someone who has moved on with their lives,” Bevan said. The detective leading the inquiry into Hall’s murder, who will make a new appeal for information on BBC1’s Crimewatch Roadshow, confirmed officers have DNA evidence. DS Andy Bevan, of Avon and Somerset police, said he believed the DNA evidence would help the investigation significantly. The force is asking for accounts of sightings of Hall after 1.10am on 9 June 1996, including of her leaving the nightclub.
