The body of Terri was discovered in bushes on Kimberley Road, near to the Asda store, on the afternoon of June 23, 2022 by a member of the public.


Having been identified, Terri's family said: “Beloved daughter, mother and sister who will be sadly missed. Gone but not forgotten. We will see you again, this is not where it ends. We will carry you with us until we see you again. Rest in peace.”
Since then, a long running investigation has been ongoing into her death by West Yorkshire Police's Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, culminating in Metcalfe's arrest this week.
