Fresh Appeal Over 1989 Murder
A new appeal has been made by Detectives investigating the murder of Caroline Graham in 1989.
The 19-year-old woman was living with her boyfriend in Hanover Street in Portadown when she disappeared 23 years ago.
Police launched a murder inquiry in August of this year, but have now made a fresh appeal for information. They are interested in speaking to anyone who lived in Carleton Street, Hanover Street or Church Street at the time.
No-one was ever charged in connection with her disappearance
The new line of inquiry was launched due to new information coming to light regarding the possible location of her remains.
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Crawford is leading the investigation. He said: "We are making progress in terms of eliminating possible deposition sites but we need more assistance from people who lived here or worked here in 1989.
"Members of the public have come forward with information but we need more assistance if we are going to be able to return Caroline's remains to her family after all these years and progress the investigation."
Caroline had been living in the Portadown area for about two years before her disappearance, but was originally from the Newry area.
The searches have so far focussed on waste ground in Carleton Street and part of a nearby house. It is thought the searches could take several weeks.
Chief Inspector Crawford said: "I would ask anyone who thinks they can help to come and speak to search teams in Carleton Street as soon as they can or contact us on 07585 22 82 83."
