The
teenager who went missing five days ago, failed to arrive home from a
night out after leaving a nightclub alone.
Her
partially clothed body was discovered in the undergrowth at 7am by a
man walking his dog.
Police
were first alerted of her disappearance by Tracy’s boyfriend,
Stephen, 21, on Monday. The couple had gone out together, but had
been separated during the night. He has been questioned on her
disappearance but no further investigation has been carried out.
It
is believed that they had an argument before they went out in Sutton,
and CCTV footage shows that Tracy, 19, left Type3
nightclub by herself at 1:07am.
An
eyewitness told Police that she saw Tracy walking along Anchorage
Road, 4 miles away from the club.
She
was accompanied by a man, and the witness, a bartender in her
thirties, described the couple to be talking and smiling together.
The
unknown male was described as being tall with blonde hair, wearing
blue jeans, a grey t-shirt and a black leather jacket.
Forensic
tests are being carried out to find the cause of her death, but it is
believed that the teenager was strangled and possibly sexually
abused.
Tracy’s
parents, James and Margaret Watson, have said to be, “distressed at
the loss of their beloved daughter,” and her family have said that
her death came “as a great blow.”
They
have appealed for anyone with information to come forward, or to call
the Police hotline at 01212 345678.
Police
Inspector, Jim Bloggs, added, “We are treating the case with upmost
seriousness.” He also expressed that, “We advise members of the
public to take extra care.”
Officers
are searching the scene for further evidence that may help to explain
what happened.
