Lindsay Birbeck's father speaks out about his daughter's disappearance
Russell Martin told LancsLive: “Some days you feel sick. It gets your stomach turning. It’s hard work if you do not talk to anyone. It’s not knowing that’s the problem.
“It has been marvellous to see all these people here, last night there was in the region of 400 people and all the posters that have gone out.
“I am amazed with all the people here tonight. Lindsay is a popular girl, intelligent.
“I know and have walked The Coppice many times.
“It brings it back from when my wife was ill. She died from ovarian cancer. That’s why I wonder if she had been told any news about her own health."
