Detective Inspector Andy McWatt is leading the Investigation:
“We know how concerning and frightening it will be for people to hear about this investigation and we are making it a priority to find out what happened."
"We really need all the help we can get from the public, and we’re asking you to come forward with anything at all you think might help."
"We would rather you come to us with information you are unsure of than risk not mentioning it, no matter how small you think it might be."
"The smallest piece of information can make a big difference in an investigation, as we’d rather have information and not need it, than miss a key detail.”
