She had run a shop in Gibbet Street, Halifax since the 1930s.

At Whitsuntide, 8th June 1957, she was battered to death. The only clue was a fingerprint found in the room. This was never identified and no one has ever been accused of the crime. A small amount of cash was missing.

In May 1988, an unknown man made a number of anonymous phone calls to the Evening Courier and claimed that his father had made a deathbed confession to the crime. The caller's father – who had lived in the Pellon area, not far from Miss Pye's shop – said that he had hit the 80-year-old and fled with only £6. The caller refused to give his details because his mother was still alive at the time and unaware of her husband's secret. He claimed that his father had admitted the torment he had lived with since killing the spinster. The caller refused to give his name because his mother was still alive.

In November 2004, detectives appealed again for him to get in touch.

In November 2012, the West Yorkshire Police's Major Investigation Review Team again appealed for anyone with information about the murder to get in touch.
