A POLICE chief spoke yesterday of his determination to bring a prostitute's killer to justice.
It was two years ago today that 21-year-old Vicky Glass disappeared while working in Middlesbrough.
Her naked remains were found several weeks later on a remote part of the North York Moors, at Danby, near Whitby.
The investigation into her death has already stretched from Scotland to South Yorkshire, and even abroad.
Hundreds of statements have been taken from the vice girl's known clients and long-distance lorry drivers who were in the Teesside town at the time she vanished, while working the streets in the area of The Shipmate pub.
Yesterday, Detective Superintendent Brian Dunn said: "We will continue on, however long it takes, and I am determined to remind people about Vicky Glass. I will not give up.
"At the very least, it is a suspicious death. Until we know the full circumstances, I am conducting a murder hunt. The Glass family have had two years of not knowing what happened. Vicky's family deserve to know."
In a chilling warning, Det Supt Dunn said: "It is extremely worrying that we could have someone out there capable of doing this again."
Nevertheless, he reiterated there is nothing to link Vicky's death with the disappearance of two other Middlesbrough vice girls.
Donna Keogh, 17, vanished in 1998, while 19-year-old Rachel Wilson has not been seen since earlier this year. Heroin addiction drove all three into prostitution.
Det Supt Dunn is convinced someone is shielding Vicky's killer and appealed to them to listen to their conscience.
He said: "I firmly believe someone out there knows exactly what happened to Vicky and who was responsible for her death. It is not too late for them to come forward and speak to me in complete confidence.
"I would ask them to examine their conscience, tell the truth, give Vicky's family the peace of mind they deserve and give them a chance to begin the healing process from this horrific ordeal."
