Man, 65, arrested in Vicky Glass murder probe
SuppliedA 65-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman almost 26 years ago.
Vicky Glass was last seen being dropped off by a taxi driver in Middlesbrough in the early hours of 24 September 2000, three days after her 21st birthday.
Her body was found six weeks later, in a stream in Danby, North Yorkshire. A number of arrests have been made over the years but no-one has ever been charged.
The man was arrested in the Lancashire area on Friday morning and remains in police custody pending interview by Cleveland Police officers, the force said.
Glass's family have made numerous emotional appeals over the past two decades in an effort to uncover new information about her death
Her mother has since died, without any answers as to what happened to her daughter.
Four people have been arrested in connection with Ms Glass's murder since 2000, but all were released without charge.
In 2018, Cleveland Police's Historic Investigation Unit was given additional funding by the Home Office to look again at the unsolved case.
The investigation was reopened in 2021 with police saying they had "significant new lines" of inquiry.
Police said they believed Glass had been pressurised into sex work to fund a heroin addiction.
The team viewed more than 2,000 hours of CCTV footage, and used up-to-date forensic methods to try to enhance DNA samples.
Speaking last year, her sister, Claire, described her as "very quiet, vulnerable, and people could take advantage of that".
