There have been 173 unsolved murders in Merseyside over the last 91 years.
All the cases, which date back to 1931, are all kept on file with officers never losing hope that they might catch the people responsible. The full list (which can be viewed below) starts with the murder of Julia Wallace which has been described as Liverpool's 'impossible' murder.
October 30 this year marked a year since Jaqueline Rutter was shot dead in her own home, on Meadowbrook Road, Moreton. The 53-year-old was shot in the chest, at around 1am. Detectives believe the grandmother-of-five was killed in a targeted attack and two or three people were involved.

Despite eight people being arrested in connection with Ms Rutter's murder but no one has been charged. Detective Chief Inspector Steve McGrath said: "We will not stop until we find them. If you are close to any of the people who were responsible for this appalling shooting, please search your conscience and come forward with what you know so that Jacqueline's family can finally find peace and justice."
Speaking on the first anniversary of her murder, Mrs Rutter's son, one of her six children who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "As a family we have been living our worst nightmare since you were cruelly taken by cowards. This has destroyed our family and left grandchildren confused as to why nanny Jackie isn't coming home.
"We cannot understand how someone could do this to you, a defenceless grandmother. Nothing can justify murder. It pains us to think of how frightened you were in your final moments and nobody should have to experience that.
"Our hearts will forever remain heavy as nobody can recover from a death of a murdered loved one. We will continue until our last breath to fight for your justice, to ensure those individuals responsible are held accountable for this evil and merciless crime."
