Police investigating the death of Rotorua woman Melissa Jones will be releasing new information about the case on Police Ten 7 tonight.

Her body was found on the shore front of Lake Rotorua six weeks later, on October 18, 2019.

To find out more about the police investigation, and how you can help, watch Police Ten 7 on TVNZ 2 at 7.30pm, or TVNZ 2 +1 at 8.30pm.

Information about the case will also be posted on the Police Ten 7, NZ Police and Bay of Plenty Police Facebook pages after the programme screens.
