Overview
- Officers are conducting active enquiries in Leeds with West Yorkshire Police support, distributing leaflets to seek new information.
- Investigators say they are 100% satisfied Donna was seen in central Middlesbrough on April 28, 1998, revising earlier assumptions about her last movements.
- The Bow Street gathering on April 19 is no longer treated as the final sighting, and a reported red hatchback sighting on Hartington Road is considered separate.
- The case sits under Operation Resolute within the wider Operation Pandect review that followed HMICFRS findings of past investigative failings.
- Donna’s body has not been found, no one has been charged since two arrests in 1999, and a £20,000 Crimestoppers reward remains in place for vital information.
