Detective Inspector Kenny Blain of GMP’s Oldham borough said: “Reading the tributes from her family, it is apparent how much Corinne was loved and what a devastating time this is for her family, which makes it all the more frustrating for us that we cannot provide them with the answers they so desperately need at this time.
“We need people to come forward with information so we can piece together the events and begin building answers for Corinne’s family.”
