THE family of Becky Godden-Edwards family have been fighting for more than three years for justice to finally be served on her killer, and mum Karen Edwards has welcomed every fresh piece of the puzzle.

The news that detectives may have pinned down the car used in her murder comes as another move in the right direction for her during an exhausting campaign.

“It is extremely hard, and there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about Becky,” she said. “There are mother and daughter things that I will never be able to do with her.

“I have 101 per cent confidence in Sean Memory and that he will get a conviction for Becky’s murder. Throughout this campaign people have been giving the police little bits of information that they may have thought were not important, but are crucial in putting together the case and finding out exactly what happened to her.

“Those little bits of information can be so vital. Anything at all to do with this car or to do with Becky, the police will be interested. Somebody will know who bought that vehicle or has driven it since 2004, and it could just be sitting in somebody’s drive.

“Everything goes towards that case, and the police are following every lead, no matter how long ago. This is about collating everything together. Something so trivial can actually be the molehill that turns into a mountain.

“All we want is Becky’s killer convicted. Everything went quiet for such a long time and that was a huge frustration, but things were still bubbling away behind the scenes.”

Karen has supported DCI Memory and his predecessor in the case, Steve Fulcher, throughout, and will present her petition to Parliament towards the end of the year to amend the PACE Act and make it easier for police to bring convictions in the most serious cases.

Mini-cab driver Chris Halliwell was originally charged with Becky’s murder but it was withdrawn after the senior investigating officer, Steve Fulcher, breached police procedural rules in questioning the 50-year-old, of Nythe.

“I have every faith in Sean, and he has picked up from where Steve Fulcher left off,” Karen said. “There is that gap in between that does need to be filled, and we need to find out what was going in in those years when we simply didn’t know anything.

“When people die under normal circumstances you are able to adapt to the situation, but I am still finding it hard to accept what happened. I hope and pray that they can find it. If there is no conviction then it makes my daughter’s life seem worthless, but she was a human being and she deserves justice, just like we deserve justice as a family.”
