THE mother of murdered prostitute Vicky Glass struggled to contain her grief as she spoke on the second anniversary of her daughter's disappearance yesterday.

Deborah Goodall bravely faced the Press to renew the police appeal to track down Vicky's killer and to lay bare the misery of the past two years.

Her voice shaking with emotion, she revealed her daughter's murder has pushed her to the brink of suicide and forced her to question whether she did enough to steer her away from drugs and prostitution.

It was two years ago this week that 21-year-old Vicky disappeared while working in Middlesbrough.

Her naked remains were found several weeks later on the North York Moors, at Danby.

The police investigation, which has seen hundreds of statements taken from Vicky's clients, and long distance lorry drivers, has stretched from Scotland to South Yorkshire and even abroad.

Mrs Goodall, who has another daughter, Claire, aged 24, and a son Thomas, six, described how the past two years have taken their toll.

She said: "It's just a day-to-day existence. I have a little boy, aged six, and I have to be honest - at times he's been the only thing that had kept me going.

"I have thought about taking my own life because the pain is so hard. Not knowing what happened is the hardest thing.

"But even when the killer is caught and justice is done, I will have this with me for the rest of my life. I haven't slept since it happened."

Sat alongside her second husband, Colin Goodall, Vicky's mother also stressed how her daughter should be remembered for who she was, not the drug-addicted prostitute she became.

She said: "She fell in with the wrong crowd after about 18, but before then she was a beautiful child with a twinkle in her eye. I remember she was very tidy and couldn't even stand people smoking cigarettes - a little fusspot I used to call her. That's how we will remember her."

The family also had a message for anyone with information on the killer.

Mrs Goodall said: "I believe somebody knows something.

"If they are frightened, they should not be, and come forward. If they are protecting somebody, believe me, they are not worth protecting."

Anyone who can help with the inquiry should contact Det Supt Brian Dunne on (01642) 302388/9 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
