THE brutal murder of a cab driver who was found with his throat slit three days before Christmas is still baffling cops almost 30 years on.
Steven Johnson, 25, was earning some extra cash in time for the holidays, when he was found dead early on December 22 1990.
On his last journey, he dropped a customer in Hanley at around 3.30am, and was heading for Packmoor, according to reports.
He was later found lying face down in snow, on a farm track in Mow Cop, Stoke-on-Trent.
Reports suggest he had managed to walk 20 yards away from his vehicle after he was slashed in the neck.
Staffordshire Police have questioned dozens and gone over evidence to see if there were any new leads, Stoke Sentinel reported.
The last suspect was arrested in 2014, but he was released after five months on bail.
Cops have struggled to come up with a motive for his murder, as he was described as a 6ft 4in gentle giant who wouldn’t’ have argued with any customer.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
