The sister of murdered Middlesbrough teenager Rachel Wilson has spoken to Capital.

Rachel, from Grove Hill, was only 19 years old when she was last seen on the 31st May 2002.

It continued over the following years, but no one ever knew what had happened to her. 

In June 2012, human remains were found in a secluded location at Newham Hall Farm on the outskirts of Middlesbrough.

These were confirmed as being those of Rachel and a new murder investigation was launched.

Rachel was finally laid to rest in September 2012, 10 years after her family last saw her alive.
