The mum of murdered teenager Rachel Wilson has made a fresh appeal for information two years after her daughter's body was found.
Tina Wilson appealed to potential witnesses to come forward 12 years on from Rachel's disappearance.
She said: "We found Rachel two years ago and laid her to rest with her brother."
"We want someone to come forward and tell us what happened to her. Somebody out there knows"
Today's press conference at Cleveland Police headquarters follows a series of new appeals for information.
Earlier this week police said new witnesses had been identified in the last month who have “moved the investigation forward ".
Rachel, from Grove Hill, who was a sex worker at the time, was last seen on May 31, 2002, in the Woodlands Road area of Middlesbrough.
The 19-year-old’s remains were found in a secluded location at Newham Hall Farm near Coulby Newham two years ago today.

A new murder investigation was launched with about 20 officers working on the case.
And now, detectives say they are closer than ever to find the killer of the teenager.
Detective Inspector Andy Greenwood said today he was hopeful an arrest would come "sooner rather than later".
"Since Rachel's body was found two years ago we have had people come forward to fill in some of the blanks."
