A number of lines of inquiry continue to be “actively pursued” in the two-decade hunt for a Suffolk teenager’s killer, police have revealed.
Detectives reopened the Vicky Hall murder investigation in September last year - 20 years after her body was discovered - after new information was reported to the cold case team.
The information, from at least two new sources, was deemed significant enough for the case to be reopened as a live murder inquiry.
On the 20th anniversary of the 17-year-old's murder, police released previously unseen photos of items similar to those worn and carried by Vicky on the night of her disappearance, close to home in Trimley St Mary, on September 19, 1999.
Suffolk Constabulary also shared CCTV footage of the entrance to a field in Creeting St Peter, where Vicky's body was discovered five days after she vanished following a night out in Felixstowe.
No new arrests have yet been made.

Detectives previously said last September's anniversary appeal had led to 40 calls and new lines of inquiry for the team to follow up.
Speaking at the time, Detective Chief Inspector Caroline Millar did not divulge details of the new information, but said it would form the main line of inquiry pursued by Suffolk's major investigation team.
"It has given us renewed hope that we can get justice for Victoria and her family," she said.
Suffolk Constabulary set up a dedicated hotline for information to be reported during the appeal but the number to call now is 01473 613513.
Vicky Hall was last seen alive at 2.30am after saying goodbye to best friend, Gemma Algar, on the corner of Faulkeners Way and Trimley High Road.

On Friday, September 24, 1999, Vicky's body was found in a ditch by a dog walker 25 miles away.
Post-mortem results failed to establish how Vicky had died - only showing that she suffered "some degree of asphyxiation".
