Sheila Farrow

Forty-nine-year-old Sheila Farrow had eight children and lived in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England.

On June 17th, 1988, Sheila was spotted in the Stockport city center, reportedly talking to a slim white male who appeared to be in his mid-twenties. He had spiky brown hair and was wearing an open-necked white shirt under a shiny silver suit.

A short time later, Sheila was found beaten to death in the city center.

Authorities released a sketch of the man seen speaking to Sheila in the hours before she died, but the individual has never been identified.

The seemingly random murder of Sheila Farrow remains largely forgotten and unsolved, more than thirty years later.

  1. I’m from Stockport and find it uneasy and concerning how this case has been completely forgotten and swept under the carpet

    1. I was working at Slim Fit in Weir Mill at the time. It was terrifying. I still think of her from time to time.

  2. I saw this lady many times when she was in Stockport precinct. Slimtru was the solitary eerie place where poor Sheila was murdered.

    I have always thought there is clearly a murderer still at large, it must be agonising for her children/adult to not know what on earth happened to their mother.

  3. my late father had children with a lady called Sheila in stockport Ithats all I know and she went missing leaving my 2 half brothers I don’t know if other siblings were involved just to this day my half brothers never heard from her again .

    my father was a well know handy man back then with criminal activity and I’ve never read this story till now im the youngest of many from his last ex just this sounds to coincidental to me
