Australian prosecutors consider reopening British girl's cold case disappearance
AI Summary
Australian prosecutors in New South Wales are considering reopening the cold case of Cheryl Grimmer, a three-year-old British girl who disappeared from Fairy Meadow beach in Wollongong in January 1970. A suspect was previously charged in 2017 with her abduction and murder, but the trial collapsed after his confession was ruled inadmissible. The NSW director of public prosecutions has agreed to review the decision to drop the case, prompted by public pressure from Grimmer's family. The review will consider evidence police handed over in 2019, or potentially wait for detectives to consider "fresh" information the family says they have found. Grimmer's family, who had recently migrated from the UK, has long maintained that missteps were made in the initial investigation and are hopeful for justice.
