    North Yorkshire Police issued a statement today saying its investigation into missing Harrogate woman Marsha Wray remains open, 25 years to the day since her disappearance.

    Marsha, 38, went missing after dropping off her two children at Hookstone Chase primary school on Friday, January 24 1997.

    A few days after her disappearance, her red Metro Quest car was seen parked at Nidd Gorge. It was later recovered in Headingley, although who moved it there remains a mystery.

    There have been no sightings since and no body has ever been found.

    Adam Harland, of North Yorkshire Police’s cold case review team, said:

    “The case surrounding the death of Marsha Wray has been reviewed on previous occasions.
    “Despite extensive investigations and appeals, the case remains open.
    “We are open to any new information leading to evidence in relation to the case.”


    Marsha worked as a nurse at Harrogate District Hospital. Her husband of 17 years, Colin, said she had told him she was going away for a few days.
