**The details:**

- The victim, Louisa Dunne, was found dead in her Easton home by a neighbour in June 1967
- She had been strangled and raped

**What they're saying:** Detective Inspector Dave Marchant called it "an extremely significant moment in an appalling and distressing case which has remained unsolved for almost six decades."

"While this tragic incident happened a long time ago, there will be people who remember what happened and may have had a connection with Louisa through family or friends," he added.

**Looking ahead:** Police have contacted Ms Dunne's next of kin and hope the investigation could provide "the answers they've waited a lifetime for," DI Marchant said.

**How to help:** The Neighbourhood Policing Team is carrying out patrols in the area. Residents with any concerns or information are encouraged to speak with officers.
