DISTRICTS of a town are being flooded with posters as detectives step up the hunt for the killer of murdered prostitute Vicky Glass.

Posters featuring a colour photograph of the 21-year-old heroin addict are going up in and around The Shipmate pub, Middlesbrough, where she was dropped off by a taxi, at 4am, on Sunday, September 24 - and disappeared.

They are also being displayed along Union Street and other areas of the town where prostitutes are known to ply their trade.

The move came as detectives confirmed that they had reopened the case of missing girl Donna Keogh.

The 17-year-old disappeared in April 1998.

Detective Superintendent Graham Strange said at the time it was thought that Donna might have fled Teesside because she owed money.

However, there were also reports of her getting into a red hatchback vehicle in Hartington Road, Middlesbrough. Despite a nationwide search, the teenager is still missing.

Donna was described as having dyed blond hair, worn sometimes in a pony tail, and is 5ft 2in tall.

Vicky Glass, 21, often had her fair hair tied back, and was just an inch taller than Donna.

Vicky's body was found dumped on a stretch of desolate moor, at Danby, near hard standing where police believe her killer parked his car.

They do not know how she died - or where.

Asked if Donna's disappearance was being looked at anew, a Cleveland Police spokesman said yesterday: "It's one of the lines of inquiry they are looking into.''

The search for Vicky's killer is being coordinated by Detective Superintendent Brian Dunn.

The force spokesman said: "He is liaising with senior investigating officers in all outstanding cases, but is keeping an open mind.''

Anyone with any information about Vicky should contact detectives on (01642) 301283 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111
