On 30th October 1983, 16 year old Colette Aram was walking from her house in Nottinghamshire, the one and a half miles to her boyfriend's house. She didn't make it as she was abducted, raped and strangled by 25 year old Paul Hutchinson. It took 25 years to find Hutchinson and it was thanks to the DNA database that he was found.
