Vicky Hamilton

The teenager was last seen in Bathgate on a snowy February in 1991 while making her way home to Redding near Falkirk after spending the weekend with her sister.

Her family said they would always remember their “warm, clever, generous” 15-year-old. Vicky’s sister Lindsay Brown said: “Vicky was much more than a girl who was abducted and killed by a stranger, or the girl on a missing poster. Our sister was a warm, clever, generous girl who shared many happy years with us.”

Her family also paid tribute. They said: “We remember Vicky, we remember her laughter, her smile, and we want to keep that memory.”
