A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of Vicky Glass in 2000. Vicky had just turned 21 when she disappeared from Middlesbrough on September 24, 2000.
She was last seen around 4am on the town’s Union Street. Two months later, her body was found in a stream in the village of Danby in North Yorkshire. Repeated appeals have been made over the years by her family and police to try to keep the case in the minds of the public.
In September last year, her family issued an emotional appeal for help in finding her killer on the 25th anniversary of her death. Vicky’s loved ones describe her as “an absolute diamond”, as they appealed to the public to end their search for answers and help get justice.
Tragically, Vicky’s mother Deborah Goodall died in 2015 without ever getting those answers. In interviews with Vicky’s father Anthony Glass, her sister Claire, step-sister Cheryl and step-father Colin spoke of their cherished memories and the heartache they have faced for 25 years.
Dad Anthony said: “People say time heals but it doesn’t. You don’t exist as such. You lose track of time; time is lost. You stop doing the things you would normally do.”
Cleveland Police confirmed that a 65-year-old man was arrested this morning, Friday, June 12 in the Lancashire area. The man remains in police custody there where he will be interviewed by Cleveland Police officers.
