A small group of police officers and family of missing Napier school girl Kirsa Jenson have gathered quietly at the gun emplacement where the teeanger was last seen alive forty years ago to the day.
It's believed she was murdered with many vividly remembering the searches and long running investigation.
The case remains open and police are still actively seeking information. The 14 year old was out after school riding her horse Commodore along the beachfront at Awatoto, when she went missing.
Her horse was found roaming. Kirsa's body has never been found and no-one ever charged.
An orchard worker, John Russell, who was one of the first witnesses to come foward later became a suspect.
He confessed to the teenager's murder, then recanted and later died. Investigators have come and gone in the forty years since Kirsa's disappearance.
It's Detective Sergeant Daryl Moore's case now and he's hopeful answers can be found.
