Following Ms Coll's death, officers carried out door-to-door enquiries on the streets of the South Lanarkshire town in an effort to piece together her final movements.
Police Scotland issued a number of public appeals, and last week announced detectives were following a "positive line of inquiry".
The investigating team said the answer to solving the case "lies within the community" and appealed for all those with information to come forward.
