Police hope the CCTV footage will help trigger people's memories
|
Detectives investigating the murder of Moira Jones have released CCTV footage of her taken in Glasgow on the last day she was seen alive.
The image shows her wearing a dark grey jacket and trousers, a grey shirt and her hair is tied back.
Det Ch Insp Derek Robertson said he hoped the footage would help jog the memories of people who may have seen the 40-year-old on the night of 28 May.
The sales consultant's body was found in Queen's Park the following day.
She had been sexually assaulted.
Detectives have also released a CCTV image of two people walking on Queen's Drive towards Langside Road at about 2330 BST on 28 May. Police believe they may have seen something important and have asked them to contact the incident room as soon as possible.
Det Ch Insp Robertson, of Strathclyde Police, who is in charge of the investigation, said: "Hopefully, the issue of this photograph, showing how Moira looked and how she was dressed will prompt the memories of people who may have seen her the night she was attacked.
"A great deal of progress has been made in establishing Moira's movements on Wednesday night (28th) and we know that she would have returned home to Queen's Drive, in her Black Toyota Rav 4, 4x4, 5 door reg no RF04FPV around 10.45pm or 10.50 pm.
"That said, we cannot discount the possibility that Moira may have returned near to or back to her car between 10.50pm and 11.30pm.
"It is difficult to park in that area late at night and it is possible she had some difficulty in finding a suitable space."
He said officers believed Ms Jones parked her vehicle some way further up the street towards Queen's Park Bowling Club which would have meant her taking a short walk back to the front door of her flat.
"It is during this short walk that we believe that Moira may have been initially confronted," Det Ch Insp Roberston said.
"At this time we are unable to establish how Moira got into the park. I appeal to anyone who was in that area who may have seen Moira crossing the carriageways of Queen's Drive and entering the park to contact the incident room.
Police want to hear from a couple who were filmed on Queen's Drive

"Queen's Drive is a particularity busy road and at that time of night shift workers, patrons of nearby public houses, bus and taxi drivers would have been in the area.
"It is imperative that we speak to everyone who was in that area at that time. Please let us judge the value of the information. You must not assume that the police are already aware of it."
He said it was "crucial" that officers speak to everyone who was in the park on Wednesday and during the early hours of Thursday as there was "real potential" that they saw or heard something important.
"We know from a number of local people we have spoken to, that the park is busy in the evening with people from the community walking their dogs or simply exercising," he said.
"All officers dedicated to this investigation remain committed to tracing the person or persons responsible for Moira's death.
"I would re-appeal to anyone to come forward who knows anything whatsoever that could help bring this investigation to a satisfactory conclusion."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room at Cathcart police office 0141 532 5060 or anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
