CONCERN is growing for the safety of a missing North-East prostitute.

Nineteen-year-old Rachel Wilson, from Middlesbrough, has not been seen by her family for a week.

Police are expected to make a public appeal for information about her whereabouts today.

News of the teenager's disappearance comes just weeks after the fourth anniversary of the disappearance of 17-year-old Middlesbrough prostitute Donna Keogh.

Donna, who used to work outside the town's railway station, vanished in April 1998.

There were reports of her getting into a red hatchback car in Hartington Road, Middlesbrough.

Her disappearance was re-examined by police in Cleveland and North Yorkshire as they searched for the killer of 21-year-old murdered prostitute Vicky Glass, whose body was found on moorland on the edge of the village of Danby in November 2000. Her killer has never been caught.
