And six months later the body of Lynne Weedon (16) was found in an alleyway close to her home in Hounslow, west London.
Investigating officer, Det Ch Insp Noel McHugh said the suspect would now likely be aged in his 60s of 70s: "It's inconceivable the killer of Eve and Lynne has kept the perfect secret for 40 years.
"It's a heavy burden to carry and he must have let details slip over the years - maybe to a partner, a friend, even a cellmate - and I would appeal to anyone with information to contact us."
