[FONT=&]The search for Vicky’s killer remains one of Cleveland Police’s longest-running murder inquiries.

[FONT=&]The 21-year-old’s body was found in a stream in North Yorkshire on November on November 3, 2000, weeks after she vanished from Middlesbrough’s town centre.

[FONT=&]The hunt stretched far past Teesside and North Yorkshire as it emerged Vicky, who had turned to prostitution to feed a crippling heroin habit, would sometimes leave town with lorry drivers.

[FONT=&]In early 2001 a 39-year-old lorry driver from the Grimsby area was arrested in connection with her death but was later released without charge.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Then in January 2002, a 47-year-old man was arrested but he was also released without charge.
Vicky, from Stockton, fell into drugs and vice in the last part of her short life.

[FONT=&]The former Blakeston School pupil had been a keen member of the Kiora jazz band in Roseworth and she was a popular girl teachers described as caring and thoughtful of others.

[FONT=&]“Vicky had a very happy childhood,” her mum Deborah Goodall previously told The Gazette.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“But when she was 18 she started going out and got in with the wrong people. At the time I didn’t know about those types of drugs. Not how deep it was.”[/FONT]
