Caroline Graham Search Suspended
Detectives have suspended the search for the body of missing teenager Caroline Graham.
Caroline Graham went missing from the town of Portadown in County Armagh 23 years ago.
A search was renewed at the beginning of last month, focussing mainly on the Carleton Street are where the 19-year-old had lived with her boyfriend.
The search also focussed of areas of waste ground and a well.
Police are confident the current occupants of the buildings have no knowledge of the events surrounding her disappearance.
Detectives investigating have been using body recovery dogs, probes, structural engineers and an underwater search team.
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Crawford said police believe more than one person knows where the teenager's body is buried.
He said: "They are holding a very dark secret. We need them to come forward and tell us exactly what they know.
"Whoever is responsible for Caroline's murder has spoken to people and they know exactly what has happened to Caroline."
"We really need to know what building work was being done in April 1989 in Carleton Street."
"We believe Caroline's body was dumped in an existing hole, that it was covered over and possibly later topped with concrete.
He added: "Even if you think that what you know is only rumour or chat, we need to hear it. Please don't assume that police know. Don't think your information is not relevant or significant - it might be. Let us decide."
