'A piece of my heart is missing': Son of murdered woman linked to Suffolk Strangler wants answers
Police reopened the appeal after Wright's guilty plea for a 1999 murder raised questions about his possible involvement in other unsolved cases, including Kellie Pratt's disappearance in 2000.
- Following Wright's guilty plea last month, police in Norfolk and Suffolk reopened enquiries after the Joint Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigations Team seek new leads, with Gray stating 'cold cases are never cold.'
- Steve Wright dramatically changed his plea on Monday, admitting the kidnap and murder of Victoria Hall, 17, in 1999 and the attempted kidnap of Emily Doherty, then aged 22, the day before.
- On 11 June 2000, Kellie Pratt vanished after meeting a customer in Norwich while working as a sex worker at age 28; police took 270 statements but never identified the man, and her body remains unfound.
- Police stress they are keeping an open mind as Detective Superintendent Phill Gray says Wright is not currently an official suspect, while Kurtis Pratt, son of Kellie Pratt, hopes for answers.
- Amid expert analysis, criminal psychologists note Wright's unusually late start and a seven-year gap in killings, while sentencing hearings outlined missed investigative opportunities and Norfolk and Suffolk unsolved cases merit fresh scrutiny.
