Caroline Graham Appeal Renewed
Police have renewed an appeal for information regarding the teenager Caroline Graham, who disappeared in Portadown in 1989.
The PSNI is to distribute leaflets in the town over next few days in a bid to encourage those with information to come forward.
Caroline was 19 when she went missing from her home in Portadown, County Armagh, in 1989.
A search was renewed in the beginning of October last year and focussed on the Carleton Street area where she had lived with her boyfriend, as well as surrounding areas of waste ground and a well.
Detectives investigating the case have been using body recovery dogs, probes, structural engineers and an underwater search team.
Detective Chief Inspector Crawford said police believe more than one person knows where the teenager's body is buried.
He said: "They are holding a very dark secret. We need them to come forward and tell us exactly what they know.
"Whoever is responsible for Caroline's murder has spoken to people and they know exactly what has happened to Caroline."
"We really need to know what building work was being done in April 1989 in Carleton Street."
"We believe Caroline's body was dumped in an existing hole, that it was covered over and possibly later topped with concrete."
He added: "Even if you think that what you know is only rumour or chat, we need to hear it. Please don't assume that police know. Don't think your information is not relevant or significant - it might be. Let us decide."
