A father has died without ever knowing what happened to his missing daughter who disappeared without a trace almost 30 years ago.

Brian Keogh died on Saturday, July 26, aged 69 after suffering with a lung condition linked to his work.

He had fought for the truth about his daughter's death up until his tragic passing.

Donna Keogh was just 17 when she vanished in Middlesbrough on April, 19, 1998 and although her body was never found police believe she had 'come to serious harm'.

A fresh appeal was made for information relating to her disappearance in April this year with Cleveland Police Historic Investigation Unit saying it wasn't too late for people to come forward.
