'Don't let our daughter be forgotten' - the parents of missing Charlene, 14, make their plea

It's 15 years since Charlene Downes vanished from her home in Blackpool.

The 14-year-old's disappearance led to Lancashire Police's biggest ever investigation, but it hasn't given her family any answers.

Charlene's mother Karen has written her story for the first time.

She fears Charlene was groomed by a Lancashire gang and murdered.

Despite a substantial reward her killers have never faced justice and her daughter's body still hasn't been found.

Charlene's parents have been telling Tim Scott they don't want their daughter to be forgotten:

• Anyone with information should call Lancashire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
