Woking: £20,000 reward to solve 1994 murder of woman shot dead on doorstep
Karen, who was 33-years-old, was callously shot five times at close range in the hallway of her home along Willow Way on The Barnaby Estate in Woking. She answered her front door to a man appearing to be a delivery driver who was holding a blue and white pizza box, at around 9.15pm on Saturday 30 April.
Ms Reed told him that she hadn’t ordered anything. He then asked what address the house was. When she replied, he opened fire. An ambulance was called by a friend also at the property, but sadly Karen died at the scene.
*** We are offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information given anonymously to our charity that leads to the conviction of those linked to the murder of Karen Reed. The reward is available for three months and is due to expire on 30 July 2024 ***
It's believed that this murder was carried out by a professional contract killer and that Karen was the innocent victim of mistaken identity. The gunman was described as being tall with dark hair and wearing glasses.
“We are offering up to £20,000 as we know someone, somewhere knows who was behind Karen’s callous murder, and with the passage of time, we hope they will now come forward.
“Karen was an innocent victim of a calculated and cold murder which happened in a place that should have been safe, her home. We would like to see justice for Karen, her family and friends.
