He was wearing a padded light lumberjack-style shirt or jacket with a predominantly white check pattern. In August, police cleared an overgrown area at the junction of Hemdean Road and Victoria Road where the ‘man without a face’ had been seen standing. It was the second time the area had been searched and nothing of interest was found. Drains in the area were checked for discarded items as well as the River Thames. On 6 August 1997, 33 year old Stephen Duffy and his common-law wife were arrested at their home in Emmer Green. Forensic tests were carried out on his vehicle and the couple’s home was searched. Duffy had been previously interviewed by detectives and was arrested on suspicion of murder. His partner was arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting. Both were released without charge. More details emerged about Duffy when police refused his application for the return of his gun licence in a court hearing in Reading on 23 October 1998. Counsel for Thames Valley Police described Duffy, a wine shop owner, as ‘cruel and dangerous’, that he remained a suspect in the Salvini murder and would remain so for the foreseeable future. It was reported that Duffy was one of two male suspects in the enquiry and neither had been eliminated. Police had interviewed three former partners of Duffy who had described his violent, abusive and controlling behaviour. He had reportedly caused one to miscarry after pushing her down the stairs and kicking her in the stomach. Duffy denied all allegations against him and was never charged in connection with the Salvini murder. It was reported in 2002 that a 37 year old man, Stephen Duffy, of Cavendish Road, Emmer Green, was found guilty of sex with an underage girl. He was jailed for a year and ordered to be put on the sex offenders register for ten years after release. Emily Salvini’s funeral was held in Caversham on Thursday 19 June. The inquest into her death on 4 November 1997 gave a verdict of unlawful killing. In April 1999, almost two years after the attack, Mrs Salvini made a plea for help to find her daughter’s killer and police stated that they believed someone was shielding him or her. The appeal led to an anonymous call stating that bolt croppers and a machete were used to cut the telephone lines on the night of Emily’s murder. The tools were never recovered. In 2001, Emily's murder was featured on BBC’s "Crimewatch" TV programme. In 2017, on the twentieth anniversary of the attack, Katie and her son Zach, 23, made a new appeal for information to find Emily’s killer.
