Auckland police are currently re-investigating the case of the rape and murder of six-year-old Alicia O'Reilly 40 years ago.
Alicia was found dead in her bed in her Avondale home on August 16, 1980, while her eight-year-old sister was sleeping just metres away.
Despite a lengthy initial investigation, and multiple reviews, her killer has never been found.
