Dinah McNicol

It’s terribly sad to think of the bright future she would have had if she had not been so unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time

Student Dinah was hoping to go to university when she was last seen hitchhiking home from a music festival in Liphook, Hampshire.

The 18-year-old hitched a lift home from the Torpedo Town music festival on August 6, 1991 with friend David Tremlett.

She was heading home to pick up her A-level results before hopefully going to university. Melanie Gulliver, her French teacher, said: “Dinah was a conscientious pupil who always tried her best.”

Penny Vaughan, Dinah’s teacher, said: “It’s terribly sad to think of the bright future she would have had if she had not been so very unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
