British Teen’s Web site Helps Find Mother’s Murderers

 

In effort to find the people who murdered his mother 11 years ago, 16-year-old Daniel Grainger set up a Web site pleading for any information that might aid the police investigation. Grainger lives in Sheffield, England, and barely remembers his mother, Patricia Grainger, who was killed at age 25. She had been “strangled, stabbed and sexually assaulted,” The Daily Telegraph reports, and was found in the water underneath a mattress.

After 11 years without any progress in finding the killers, the police have arrested two men, possibly based on clues collected by Grainger’s Web site, which has drawn 200,000 visitors from around the world.
