You often hear police officers say there's that one case that will live with them forever. The one that was never solved, or was so shocking it cannot be erased from memory. For many journalists, that concept remains the same.
It's been almost 40 years since the murder of 14-year-old Lisa Hession in Leigh. Her killer has never been caught and even now a £50,000 reward remains on the table for anyone with information that can lead to a conviction.

The case is one that has haunted our chief reporter Neal Keeling for four decades. Back in 1984, he was a fresh-faced journalist, keen to make his mark on the world.
He can recall in detail the day news of Lisa's murder broke, the atmosphere at the press conference - even the words her mother said to him. Neal covered the case from the start, reporting in depth on every aspect of the investigation.
He was determined to raise the profile of the case, desperately hoping that someone would read about it and come forward with the information police needed to bring the person responsible to justice.
Thirty-eight years later, and he is still fighting for Lisa, still writing stories and chasing cold case officers for new leads.
He wants people to know her name, to talk about her. It doesn't matter how much time passes, this is a case that Neal will never forget, and he wants to see it solved.
You can watch Neal's full account of the murder of Lisa Hession above.
