A 64-year-old man from Leeds has been arrested on suspicion of murdering 17-year-old Donna Keogh, who vanished from Middlesbrough back in 1998.

Cold Case Breakthrough After 24 Years

Donna was last spotted in central Middlesbrough on 28 April 1998 and is thought to have travelled to Leeds later that year. Despite an extensive investigation, her body has never been found. Police believe she was murdered soon after she disappeared.

Police Call for Witnesses

Cleveland Police confirmed the arrest, carried out with help from West Yorkshire Police, took place early Tuesday. The man remains in custody for questioning.

Detective Chief Inspector Steven Chatterton said: “We have made an arrest as a result of our recent enquiries, and the man remains in police custody. I would urge anyone who may have seen Donna or has information about her movements in Leeds in 1998 to come forward. Somebody out there knows the truth.”

£20,000 Reward Still Up for Grabs

A £20,000 reward offered by Crimestoppers is still available for information that helps solve the case. Witnesses can contact Crimestoppers anonymously online or call 0800 555 111.
