Family Issues Fresh Appeal 25 Years After Vicky Glass’s Murder

Cleveland Police are re-examining evidence with modern DNA techniques, urging new witnesses to come forward.

Overview

  • A police-recorded video features Vicky Glass’s father Anthony, sister Claire, step-sister Cheryl and step-father Colin asking the public to help identify her killer on the 25th anniversary.
  • Detective Superintendent Peter Carr says investigators have reviewed more than 2,000 hours of CCTV and are using up-to-date forensic methods to enhance potential DNA.
  • Vicky, 21, was last seen around 4am on Union Street in Middlesbrough on September 24, 2000, and her body was found weeks later in a stream near Danby, North Yorkshire.
  • Police describe Vicky as vulnerable and exploited into sex work and drug use, and note that shifting loyalties may prompt people with information to speak now.
  • No one has been charged despite several early arrests, and information can be shared via 101 or 01642 301773, the Major Investigation Public Portal, or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
