Vicky Glass: Man, 65, arrested in connection with murder of woman found in village stream 26 years ago

A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a woman who went missing and was found dead in a stream more than 25 years ago.

Vicky Glass was last seen at around 4am in the Union Street area of Middlesbrough on September 24, 2000.

She is believed to have been murdered shortly after her 21st birthday, and her body was found in a stream in the village of Danby in North Yorkshire in November 2000.

Cleveland Police has now confirmed a 65-year-old man has been arrested in the Lancashire area on suspicion of murder.

He remains in custody in Lancashire, where he will be questioned by officers from Cleveland Police.

A number of arrests were made at the time of her disappearance, but no one has ever been charged with Vicky’s murder.

Cleveland Police held a review into the case in 2021, and the investigation was relaunched. In 2022, detectives leading the investigation returned to Danby, appealing to the community for information.

The force has routinely continued to appeal for information about her murder.

Anyone with information is asked to call the investigation team directly on 01642 301773, Cleveland Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
