00:02Vicky Glass was last seen in Middlesbrough in the early hours of the 24th of September
00:082000.
00:09Six weeks later, her body was found near Danby in North Yorkshire.
00:13More than two decades on, her family say the lack of answers has been devastating.
00:19Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to an
00:24arrest and conviction.
00:25Vicky was just 21 years old when she disappeared.
00:28Only days after celebrating her birthday.
00:31She was last seen at around 4.30 in the morning on Union Street in Middlesbrough on the 24th
00:37of September 2000.
00:39A missing person investigation began as officers tried to establish what had happened to her.
00:44But the investigation changed dramatically when her body was discovered near Danby on the
00:503rd of November.
00:51Despite extensive inquiries over the years and a large number of witnesses being spoken
00:57to, nobody has ever been charged or convicted of her murder.
01:01Four men have been arrested in connection with the case over the years.
01:05That includes a 65-year-old man arrested in June 2026 who remains on police veil.
01:11Cleveland Police's cold case team continues to investigate.
01:15But for Vicky's family, the passing of time has done little to ease the pain.
01:19Her father, Tony Glass, describes the past 26 years as hell.
01:23He says his daughter was effectively wiped off the face of the earth, leaving the family
01:28with 26 years of uncertainty and nothingness.
01:31He believes somebody knows where Vicky was taken and where her body was left.
01:36And he's urging that person to come forward, even if they only have a small piece of information.
01:41Vicky's stepfather, Colin Goodall, says getting justice would not take away the hurt, but it
01:47would mean a great deal to the family.
01:49Now, Crimestoppers is hoping the offer of a reward worth up to £20,000 could encourage
01:54somebody to break their silence.
01:56The charity says circumstances can change over time.
02:00Friendships can end, loyalties can shift, and somebody who felt unable to speak out years
02:05ago may now feel differently.
02:06Crimestoppers is particularly interested in information about Vicky's movements around the
02:1124th September 2000, and the circumstances leading up to the discovery of her body.
02:16Information can be passed to Crimestoppers completely anonymously, without speaking to
02:21police.
02:22Amid a bid to find out what happened to Vicky, detectives of Cleveland Police have launched
02:27a website, www.vickiglass.co.uk, which contains information about Vicky and the case.
02:35Detective Chief Inspector Peter Carr said much work has been carried out over the last 12 months
02:40on Vicky's case, including a detailed review of the original investigation.
02:45He said this review identified over 300 recommendations, with the main one being that a reinvestigation
02:51should be undertaken.
02:53He went on to say,
02:54We have new and significant lines of inquiry and will be speaking to people connected to
02:58the case.
