Summary
- Rhonda Anderson's 2000 death is now a murder investigation after 25 years.
- New information prompted police to re-examine the accidental electrocution ruling.
- Detectives appeal for any details about her relationships or concerns.
A mysterious death from 25 years ago is now being treated as a murder case by authorities. Rhonda Anderson, aged 29, was discovered deceased in her bathtub at her Northampton home on July 8, 2000. Initially, the incident was concluded as an accidental electrocution, attributed to a radio falling into the bath.
However, new information surfacing this summer has prompted a formal murder investigation. Officers from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit Major Crime Team are actively re-examining the cold case. Detective Chief Inspector Torie Harrison has made a public appeal for anyone who knew Rhonda or has relevant information concerning her relationships or any expressed concerns.
Despite the significant passage of time, police are hopeful that individuals can recall details, however minor, that might shed light on the circumstances surrounding Rhonda's death. The family of Ms. Anderson has been informed of this development and is receiving support from specially trained officers, while requesting privacy during this difficult period.
