Amanda "Milly" Dowler (13)
From Walton on Thames, Surrey
Murdered March 2002

On 21 March 2002 Amanda Dowler was last seen walking home from the railway station at nearby Walton-on-Thames train station. She stopped at a chip shop with some friends, called her father on the 'phone then set off for home - she never got there.

Milly had a Nokia 32/100 Mobile Phone with Milly written on the back, a White Purse with an Ace of Hearts motif and Bank card with her and was wearing a Silver Neck Chain with various Silver Rings. She was last seen wearing her School Uniform which was a Dark Blue Blazer, Light Blue V Neck Jumper, White Shirt and a Short Grey Skirt.

At 2 pm on Thursday 19th September human remains were found in Yateley Heath Forest, near Fleet in Hampshire. Milly's parents were informed of the discovery, but, police at first said it was too early to say if the remains were those of Milly, but later confirmed the distressing news.

Nobody has been convicted of Milly's murder.

In March 2005 police began investigating possible links with the London Hammer Attacks, including the murders of Marsha McDonnell and Amelie Delagrange. Speaking personally, I am dubious of this. Officers investigating the abduction of Milly announced details of a potential breakthrough. It centres on a red N-registered Daewoo Nexia seen yards from where Milly was last seen leaving the town's railway station. Police believe the Daewoo Nexia may have been used in the abduction of the teenager. They suspect the car may have been driven by someone with connections with Walton-on-Thames at the time of the murder. The 1996 vehicle was filmed at 4.33 pm, 25 minutes after Milly was last seen. The car appeared to be sitting low on its rear wheels.

Telephone Surrey Police on 01483 571212.
