Parents of a murdered teenager have offered a £20,000 reward for information on their daughter’s killer 27 years on.

Christina Menzies was 16 years old when she was killed.

Her father, Staff Sergeant John Menzies, was stationed in Germany with his family.

On the night of Saturday, June 12 1993, Christina visited Club 47, which is at the RAF Gutersloh Station, and never returned home.

She had been strangled, and her body was discovered around 10 kilometres away.

Anyone with information on Christinea’s whereabouts between leaving the club around midnight on June 12, and the time her body was discovered, 4.45pm on Sunday, June 13, is urged to come forward.

They are also seeking information on Christina’s shoes which were missing when her body was discovered.

They were black leather-heeled shoes with a cross-over securing strap and a metal buckle.

There was also a Union Jack duvet cover which may have been used to cover or move her body.

It is hoped that there may be someone who has held back information because they did not want others to know they were there or were protecting friends, and now, they are encouraged to come forward.

There is a £20,000 reward for information given exclusively to charity Crimestoppers that leads to the arrests and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Christina’s murder.

Christine Menzies, mother or Christina, said: “We know that people’s loyalties can change over time and we desperately hope that when nudged, someone’s conscience will be nagging them to set the record straight.”

John Menzies, Christina’s father, said: “If you know anything that can help the investigation and get justice for our much-loved daughter, please do the right thing and speak up.

“You can contact the Royal Military Police or, if you prefer to stay 100% anonymous and maybe eligible for the reward, then contact the charity Crimestoppers.

“There can’t be anything worse than not knowing what happened to your loved one in these circumstances.

“Our daughter never came home and 27 years on we still have no answers as to what happened or who is responsible.”

If you have any information on this murder, please contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or complete the untraceable Anonymous Online Form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Information passed directly to police, including the Royal Military Police, will not qualify. The reward will only qualify if information is passed exclusively to Crimestoppers.
