Article	Murder of Melanie Hall

Replaceable?	No
Other information	The photo is of a reduced resolution from the original photograph, taken c. 1996. The image was released to the media and public for broad distribution by the police investigating the disappearance of Miss Hall, who would not lose profit from its further distribution. It is believed to be free for distribution and reuse. It has been widely disseminated in the media, both TV and print, since its first release in 1996. It has also been widely distributed on "Missing" posters released for public display by Avon & Somerset Constabulary seeking information regarding Miss Hall's whereabouts. No further free image is likely to be created as the subject is deceased. It lacks significant creative elements.
