Overview
- A 62-year-old man was arrested in the Manchester area and remains in police custody where he is being interviewed in connection with Donna Keogh’s suspected 1998 murder, police confirmed.
- An earlier arrest this year of a 64-year-old man from the Leeds area continues with that suspect on police bail while enquiries proceed.
- Donna Keogh was 17 when she was last seen in central Middlesbrough in April 1998, her body has never been found, and detectives believe she was murdered shortly after she vanished.
- Cleveland Police say detectives have been carrying out renewed enquiries in Leeds and Middlesbrough, Crimestoppers is offering a £20,000 reward for information, and the family are being kept fully updated.
- The investigation was reopened and formally recorded as a murder in 2016 and previous searches, including a 2018 allotment excavation that found medieval remains, show the probe has required lengthy review and new lines of work to locate evidence.
