Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

DETECTIVES were yesterday examining address books found at the home of Katrina Monk to try to find a clue to her killer's identity.

They believe that the 12-year-old knew her attacker and they are still looking for her diary, which was missing when her body was found in an alley about 50 yards from her home in Enfield, north London, last Friday. Also missing were a pink cotton Body Shop bag, her black lace-up shoes, black bomber jacket and green school blazer.

Detective Inspector Malcolm Gregory said yesterday: 'From what her family tell us, it would appear she would not go away with someone she did not know.' He said Katrina was last seen at 4pm near her home in Newbury Avenue.
