The sister of a Telford teenager who died in a mystery shed fire today called for justice on the 21st anniversary of his death.
Deborah Mason said she wanted closure over the death of her 19-year-old brother, Liam Wright. The 47-year-old, from Warwickshire, was due to visit his grave at Red Lake this afternoon.
Mr Wright from Brookside, Telford, was found in the debris of a burned-out shed at Madeley Ski Slope on September 10, 1990.
His death has been undergoing a cold case review but nobody has ever been charged in connection with the case.
After the investigation was reopened last year, a man was arrested on suspicion of murder but released without charge.
Mrs Mason said: "I want to get some justice and some closure. There is no closure until the people responsible – and I believe there was more than one – come forward and speak out.
"Unfortunately, in the days when this happened we didn't have all the DNA we have now. It would have been easier to detect these people.
"These people need to have an attack of conscience and come forward. They don't appreciate or realise the hurt and everything they cause."
Mrs Mason said she felt unless someone came forward with information then they probably would not get closure.
But she added: "Somebody somewhere knows what happened to Liam. There are just so many questions unanswered."
Mrs Mason said of her visit to Telford later today: "I shall be going to Red Lake where his last remains are and having a quiet moment of reflection.
"I will probably go to the ski slope again."
Last year she re-traced her brother's last steps on the 20th anniversary of his death in the hope it would trigger someone's memory.
She appealed for anyone with information to contact police on 0300 333 3000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
Detective inspector Dave Williams, of the West Mercia major investigation unit, said: "It's still an ongoing investigation.
"There is nothing significant to report at this moment in time."
