Will new image unlock mystery of woman who jumped to her death from London tower block 18 years ago 

Investigators remain hopeful of cracking the cold case of ‘Wembley Point Woman’ 18 years after she jumped to her death out of a London skyscraper.

The 5ft 2in black woman, aged between 20 and 40, plunged from the top floor of Wembley Point, a 21-storey skyscraper in west London, on October 29, 2004.

Despite multiple drives for information, the woman has never been identified.

At the time of her death, Wembley Point Woman was wearing a maroon bomber zip-up jacket, a black leather jacket and crew neck sweater.

She also wore black tights, trousers and Skechers boots with a zip and buckle, police say.

Exactly 17 years on from the tragedy, authorities have renewed the appeal for information into the woman’s identity.

A new image released today reveals what the woman would have looked like, in the latest attempt from volunteer cold case investigators at Locate International to solve the enduring mystery once and for all.

They’re urging former building staff or people who may have worked in the area to come forward if they recognise the woman – or if they have links to the Black Arts community in Seven Sisters in the 2000s.

At the time of her death, Wembley Point Woman was wearing a watch with a black band and two rings (pictured)

She also wore two rings: a silver band on her little finger and a metal cowrie shell design ring on her ring finger. 

The woman left behind an oil painting at a cafe shortly before she fell to her death, which some experts believe may be the key to solving the enduring mystery.

In the centre of the frame is a figure with a blank space where the face should be. The figure appears to be holding a blue, yellow and orange tribal mask. 

Investigators from missing persons charity Locate International circulated an image of the distinctive artwork in the hope it will lead to the woman’s identity. 

The woman’s body was found in the shallow water of the River Brent, at the base of the tower block, on the morning of October 29, 2004.

Witnesses said she appeared to jump or fall from the 21st floor, at the top of the building. At the time it was being used as a rooftop restaurant. The rest of the tower block was used by businesses. Pictured, Wembley Point

Witnesses said she appeared to jump or fall from the 21st floor, at the top of the building. At the time it was being used as a rooftop restaurant. The rest of the tower block was used by businesses.

She appeared distressed prior to her death, they say.

The woman was also carrying a copy of the Guardian newspaper, a black carrier bag with the lettering CPNY, a disposable lighter, cigarettes, and a weekly bus pass issued at Seven Sisters Road station, Tottenham on October 26.

There was no purse or identification.

Dave Grimstead, founder and CEO of Locate International, said: ‘When we look into old cases at Locate International, there are a few things that always need answering: where, when and how the person died and who they were.’

‘What’s unusual here is that we know the answers to almost all those questions. The only thing we don’t know is who Wembley Point Woman is, or how she came to be at that location at that time.

‘If you have any information that might help – no matter how small – it might be crucial to finally solving this sad case.

‘We know Wembley Point Woman is buried in Carpenders Park Lawn Cemetery, near Watford, in a common grave with no name. We’re confident that you can help us find that name, 18 years on.’

The key, investigators believe, could be an oil painting the woman was clutching when she jumped. Pictured, the oil painting she was holding when she fell to her death
