On the 8th April 2009 a man was arrested over the death of Colette Aram, a teenager murdered 26
years ago and whose case was the first ever featured on BBC One's Crimewatch programme.
Colette Aram, 16, was walking to her boyfriend Russell Godfrey’s house in Keyworth,
Nottinghamshire, on 30 October 1983 when she was abducted. Her body was later found in a field close
to her home.
Colette lived with her parents, hairdresser Jacquiline, 53, and 58-year-old joiner Tony, along with
her brother Mark, who was 19 at the time, in Normanton Lane, Keyworth.
Colette’s Mum Jacqui said she was a fun child. She was very happy, always laughing, always
smiling. She always thought about other people. She was a very caring girl. She did a stint in one
of the hospitals as nursing was what she originally wanted to do," says Jacqui. "She had started
working as a trainee hairdresser. Her aunt bought the salon for Colette so she had some kind of
future. But of course that never happened."
Hundreds of officers worked on the case after the teenager's body was found just over a mile from
where she disappeared. During the case, detectives developed a DNA profile of the killer after items
recovered during the inquiry were re-examined. Following the DNA breakthrough, police have used it
to eliminate about 800 suspects.
Nottinghamshire Police began a publicity campaign - with leaflets delivered to 15,000 homes - last
October, on the 25th anniversary of her murder.
This also saw a new Crimewatch appeal, which officers said brought a number of lines of enquiry
forward.
HAPPY EASTER COLETTE

The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.
Because angels like Easter as well,
you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

This Tribute Is For This Weekend A Little Longer Than Usual. Sorry It's So Early I've Got A Busy Weekend Ahead
________________________________________________
I will light my candles as usual on Sunday
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
Thoughts Today, Memories Forever

Have A Good Weekend Everyone
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved One’s arms
And tell them they're from me
Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turns to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...
Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this tribute be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
