Isabella Skelton, from Glasgow, has not been seen or heard from since June 5, 1969, but cold case detectives have now launched a murder probe.
The family of a Scots mother feared murdered after disappearing more than 50 years ago have made an emotional television appeal on Crimewatch for information.
Ms Skelton's daughter Lynda Chapman, 69, appeared on BBC One's Crimewatch Live programme to urge people to come forward. She told how her mum went missing just days before her 15th birthday. She added: "I started in 1978 to look for my mum. My husband and myself went to Glasgow and tried the electoral rolls.
The couple lived on Carnoustie Street, in the city's Tradeston, before relocating to Greater Manchester in the 1960s, first living in Salford then moving to Crumpsall. They had three children, Lynda, Richard and Stephen. Greater Manchester Police became involved and the force later released an age-progressed image of what she would look like today.In 2021, detectives carried out a three-month forensic search and excavation of her last known address. No human remains or conclusive evidence were uncovered.
