Her son Daniel revealed the extent of Patricia’s injuries in a video titled (What really happened to My Mum 15/07/2019)
In the video Daniel says:
‘My mum had no self defence marks meaning this person either frightened my mum to the point of not wanting to fight back, you knocked her unconscious or she trusted you and you still hurt her.
You stabbed her, You strangled her, You raped her, You mutilated her,Your sick.. Your twisted… Your borderline if not already showing the traits of a serial killer.’
Advances in DNA technology
With years of advances in DNA technology, this is a very complex area of work and the Forensic Science Service has spent some time assessing the exhibits in this case.
South Yorkshire Police and Patricia’s family now await to hear from the Forensic Science Service. The work is painstaking and is done in stages so will be a very lengthy inquiry.
The Grainger Family has always held hope that one day the advances in DNA technology would help lead the way towards a conviction for the unsolved 1997 murder.
Hopefully, that day is nigh
