Steve and Melanie Jones made a fresh appeal for witnesses to come forward on 19 September, four weeks after the murder, which was reconstructed on "Crimewatch" on 26 September. In the episode, Melanie Jones appealed directly to the murderer's mother to turn her son in. It led to 12 people calling into the programme, all of whom gave police the same name. Despite reports that the killer's name was widely known and had appeared on internet sites and in graffiti, police continued their appeal for witnesses to come forward.
