Police receive a dozen calls over mystery Yorkshire Dales body

Currently a dozen calls and other information are being assessed by the Cold Case Review Unit, which is investigating the woman's death in 2004.

Police think the woman, who was aged between 20 and 40, could have been a “Thai bride” who may have settled in north Lancashire or south Cumbria, before being killed, possibly at home, and taken to the remote location by 4x4.

They have suggested that people, who knew her, were told she "had gone home" and they want to speak to whoever was her partner in the last days of her life.

“We continue to welcome contact from anyone who believes they know of someone who fits the circumstances of the case.
