'People say time heals, it doesn't'

FAMILY OF VICKY GLASS IN EMOTIONAL APPEAL 25 YEARS AFTER HER MURDER

- By NAOMI CORRIGAN

THE family of a murdered Stockton woman issued an emotional appeal for help in finding her killer on the 25th anniversary of her tragic death.

Vicky Glass’ father said time had failed to ease the pain of losing his daughter as he urged anyone with information about her death to do the right thing and contact police.

Vicky had just turned 21 when she disappeared from Middlesbrough on September 24, 2000.

Two months later, her naked and mutilated body was found in a stream in the village of Danby in North Yorkshire.

In a video recorded by Cleveland Police, 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, stepsister Cheryl and stepfather Colin spoke of their cherished memories and the heartache they have faced for 25 years.

Her dad, Anthony Glass, 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.
