Police charge a man with murder more than 27 years after the disappearance of Patricia Lashley. The 33-year-old was last seen in September 1998 at her flat on Hall Street in Dudley, England. Investigators say the case has remained unsolved until now.
According to reports, Trevor Dunkley, 66, has been charged with the murder of Lashley. BBC News and other outlets describe Lashley’s disappearance as occurring near her Dudley home, with her last known sighting in 1998. The charge follows a long-running investigation into her case, which began after she was last seen at her address in Hall Street.
All accounts agree on the central details: the victim’s name, Patricia Lashley; her last known location and date in September 1998; and the defendant’s name and age, Trevor Dunkley, who is now charged with her murder. The reports do not provide additional information about a motive or the circumstances surrounding her disappearance beyond the allegation.
