Met Police launch fresh appeal for girl missing since 1979
Police want to trace three teenage boys who met 14-year-old Suzanne Lawrence at a north London fair before she vanished in July 1979. Her sister Michelle returned home after an argument, but Suzanne stayed behind and was never seen again by her family. Detectives hope the new public appeal will finally give her elderly mother and family the truth.
