Sherlock Holmes -The Sign Of 4 + Detectives probing the brutal murder of a schoolgirl more than 25 years ago are swabbing groups of men in her home town, the M.E.N. can reveal...
Lisa Hession was just 14 years old when she was sexually assaulted and strangled to death near her house in Leigh..
No one has ever been charged with her murder but police have not given up the hunt for her cold-hearted killer..
We can reveal today that officers have started swabbing men in Leigh for DNA samples to help with the investigation..
Martin Bottomley, head of Greater Manchester Police’s cold case unit, said: “This is one of the cases we won’t let go of..
We are out in the community swabbing people and this is an on-going process..
“This is an active investigation...
Her family is right behind us and is very supportive.” Lisa was murdered as she walked home from a party in Leigh, near Wigan, on the night of Saturday, December 8, 1984..She was attacked from behind and killed in an alleyway off Rugby Road within 500 yards of her home on Bonnywell Road..Her mum, Christine Hession, searched the streets for her in vain and called the police..Within 15 minutes, officers were at her door – asking her to come to Leigh Infirmary..Christine said: “I had to go there and identify her. “I felt shocked – just devastated..You don’t think this sort of thing is ever going to happen to you.” Christine, speaking from her home 27 years after the horrific murder, said she is still no wiser about who killed her child..But she said: “I think it’s someone who lives in this town and I think someone knows who it is and is shielding them. I don’t know how they could do that.” Christine, 64, added: “I still think about her every day. I don’t cry as much any more and the pain isn’t quite so bad..“The first 5 years were the worst. Every year, it gets a little bit easier. I still miss her. I’ll never forget her. Other people forget, but you never do”. ..

Lisa had been to a Christmas party and she had promised to be home at 11 p.m., so dutifully on the stroke of 10.30 she said goodnight to her 16-year-old boy friend and set off on the 2-mile walk alone to Bonnywell Road, in Leigh, Greater Manchester..She never made it. When she didn't arrive by 11.15pm, the police were alerted and at midnight they found her body in an alley in Rugby Road – 200 yards from her home. Her skirt was pushed up against her stomach, her knickers ripped apart down the middle and she had been strangled with her own tee shirt.. Lisa was 5 ft. 4 in. tall and the party clothes she was wearing would have made her look much older than her actual age..In 2005, following an appeal on the BBC's Crimewatch programme police officers received 27 calls, some of them from women concerned about the behaviour of their husbands or boyfriends when Lisa was murdered.. The chances of cracking many such 'cold cases' have been increased following advances in technology, particularly the use of DNA analysis..Anyone with information that can help police find Lisa's killer is asked to contact the incident room on 0161 856 7351 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111...
In late 1991, the body of Maria Requena was found by 2 youngsters who had been fishing at Pennington Flash close to Slag Lane, Lowton.. The body of the 26-year-old from Manchester had been cut up with power tools, stuffed into 5 bin bags (one containing Maria's severed head) and thrown into the Flash..Maria was a known prostitute and as such was very vulnerable, women in her position becoming targets for the most sadistic members of society..In the years after Maria's death, Leigh Police trawled through the vice underworld and believed there was a link with the murder of Linda Donaldson from Liverpool. The 31-year-old also worked as a prostitute and her mutilated naked body had been found 2-and-a-half years earlier in a Lowton field, just off the motorway and 3 miles from Pennington Flash.. But, despite a hunch that they were looking for the same man at the time, the link was never made.In 1999, a man jailed for life for the sadistic murder of a prostitute was quizzed about the Jack the Ripper-style killings of 2 vice girls discovered mutilated close to a local beauty spot.. David Smith, who had a long history of appalling sexual violence, was questioned in prison by detectives probing the unsolved murder of convicted prostitute Maria Christina Requena.. This investigation drew a blank...

Stairway to Heaven + The idea of a "magic bullet" was 1st proposed by Paul Ehrlich, who, at the beginning of the 20th century, postulated that, if a compound could be made that selectively targeted against a disease-causing organism, then a toxin for that organism could be delivered along with the agent of selectivity..The key idea was to use a line of myeloma cells that had lost their ability to secrete antibodies, come up with a technique to fuse these cells with healthy antibody-producing B-cells, and be able to select for the successfully fused cells. This was put into practice by Milstein and Köhler in their search for a laboratory tool to investigate antibody diversity..Monoclonal antibodies are typically made by fusing myeloma cells with the spleen cells from a mouse that has been immunized with the desired antigen. However, recent advances have allowed the use of rabbit B-cells to form a rabbit hybridoma..Georges J.F. Köhler held his Nobel Lecture on 8 December 1984, at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.

The Headless Horseman's story + The legend of the Headless Horseman begins in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The Horseman was a Hessian of unknown rank, one of many hired to suppress the American Revolution. During the war, the Hessian was one of 51 Hessians killed in a battle for Chatterton Hill, wherein his head was severed by an American cannonball. He was buried in a graveyard outside a church.. Thereafter he appears as a ghost, who presents to nightly travelers an actual danger (rather than the largely harmless fright produced by the majority of ghosts), presumably of decapitation.
German Legends of the Brothers Grimm (Deutsche Sagen) recount 2 German folk tales of a headless horseman being spotted with their own eyes..One is set near Dresden in eastern Germany. In this tale, a woman from Dresden goes out early one Sunday morning to gather acorns in a forest.. At a place called "Lost Waters", she hears a hunting horn.. When she hears it again, she turns around she sees a headless man in a long grey coat sitting on a grey horse..In another German tale, set in Braunschweig, a headless horseman called "the wild huntsman" blows a horn which warns hunters not to ride the next day, because they will meet with an accident..In some German versions of the headless horseman, he seeks out the perpetrators of capital crimes. In others, he has a pack of black hounds with tongues of fire..Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendour. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and Rococo city center - The Company of Wolves + The Kiss...
