Donna Keogh: Second man arrested over murder of teenager who travelled to Leeds in 1998
Donna Keogh is known to have travelled to Leeds before she disappeared
A second man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a teenager who went missing in 1998.
Earlier this year, police arrested a 64-year-old man from Leeds on suspicion of murder of Donna Keogh, who was last seen in Middlesbrough in 1998.
Cleveland Police detectives have now also arrested another man, aged 62, in the Manchester area in connection with the murder of 17-year-old Donna.
She was last seen in central Middlesbrough on Tuesday April 28, 1998 and is known to have travelled to Leeds during 1998.
Despite her body never being found, officers strongly suggest she was murdered shortly after she disappeared.
Deputy Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Evan Kirtley, said: “We have made a second arrest in connection with the murder of Donna Keogh. The man remains in police custody where he will be interviewed.
“We remain in close contact with Donna’s family and they are being kept fully updated. Donna’s family have lived with unbearable uncertainty for nearly 30 years as they need answers as to what happened to Donna, and we are determined to find those answers for them.
“Somebody out there knows what happened and could tell us, in order to give the family some comfort and peace, after all this time. If you have information, please tell us. You can contact us directly or report anonymously.”
A £20,000 reward from Crimestoppers remains in place in connection with the murder of Donna.
