Teeside Human Remains Identified

Human remains found on farmland on Teesside have been identified as those of a woman who went missing 10 years ago, Cleveland Police have said.

19-year-old Rachel Wilson, who had been working as a prostitute, disappeared from her home in Grove Hill, Middlesbrough, on 30 May 2002. She was last seen on CCTV in the town the next day.

Her remains were discovered near Newham Hall Farm in Coulby Newham on 27 June.

Police are now investigating a link between the cases of three missing women.

In 1998 Donna Keogh, 17, disappeared from the same area of Middlesbrough town centre and Vicky Glass, 21, was last seen in the town in 2000.

Her remains were found on the North York Moors six weeks later, but her killer has never been found.

Both Ms Wilson and Ms Glass had turned to prostitution to feed a heroin habit.

Cleveland Police said it was continuing to investigate a link between the three cases and was re-launching an appeal for information.
