It's hoped that new state-of-the-art technology could lead to a breakthrough in the 30-year-old murder case of an Edinburgh woman.
26-year-old Debbie Linsley was stabbed to death on a train in London in 1988 but the suspect has never been traced.
At the time Metropolitan Police officers were able to gather a full DNA profile of the killer.
It's now thought new tests that looks at familiar DNA could hold the key to solving the crime.
An appeal for information relating to the murder was launched last month 30 years after the tragedy, but police say no new leads have been brought to their attention.
Detective Inspector Susan Stansfield says: "Debbie was a lovely young lady. Unfortunately her mother has passed away but her father is still around. He is an elderly gentleman now but he would still desperately like to see information come forward and seek justice for his daughter.
"Her brother is still fighting for justice and so are we. We still want that information to come forward so that we can bring somebody through the court system and find out what happened to her."
