What did the police say?
Detective Inspector Paul Conroy of West Yorkshire Police’s "Operation Recall" team said:
"This crime may now be 25 years old but time doesn’t diminish our resolve to bring the person or persons responsible for this horrendous crime to justice.
"And likewise her grieving family want answers about what happened to Deborah. I would appeal to anyone who knows anything about this case to examine the conscience and come forward – your information could make all the difference.
"Deborah was given no dignity in death with her body being burned to the extent that she was only identified using dental records and DNA.
"Previous attempts to bring her killer to justice, including an appeal and reconstruction on BBC Crimewatch, have so far failed. Hopefully, with the passage of time, people may feel more comfortable or able to come forward and tell us what happened.
"As with all unsolved murder enquiries the case remains under investigation and a thorough forensic review remains ongoing."
He urged anyone with information to "examine their conscience".
