Andy Glover, from Mytholmroyd, was checking for debris when he spotted something in the water. | |

"As we pulled it towards us, the body rolled in the water. There was no mistaking who it was, we saw the strands of hair on her face and knew we had found Lindsay Rimer." | |
Ms Rimer left her home in Cambridge Street at about 22:00 GMT and met her mother at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. | |
The last known sighting of her was caught on CCTV 20 minutes later as she bought cornflakes on Crown Street. | |
In April, police said a new DNA profile had been identified which it hoped would lead them to identify the killer. |
