Fresh appeal in 23-year disappearance of Jaime Chessman in Grimsby
Jaime would now be 39.
23 years on from a teenager's disappearance in Grimsby - a new investigation has been launched.
16-year-old Jaime Cheesman went missing from an address in Comber Place in early November 1993.
Jaime would now be 39.
Humberside Police are holding enquiries across North East Lincolnshire this week to try to find out what happened to her.
Enquiries undertaken previously suggested that after Jaime’s return to her Grimsby home in Comber Place, she may have become involved in a disagreement and left the address. She did not return and she has not been seen since.
The last confirmed sighting of Jaime was on the 2 November 1993 when she attended to make her benefit claim in Grimsby.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Gadd of Humberside Police’s Protecting Vulnerable People Unit said:
“Despite previous extensive police enquiries and appeals for information, what happened to Jamie remains unknown and a source of great anxiety to her family. Her father has described Jaime as an outgoing girl with quite a few friends and feels certain that someone knows something about what happened to her. Whilst we believe there is a possibility that Jaime may still be in the Grimsby area, she was known to have connections with the travelling community in Northamptonshire and may have adopted this lifestyle in either area.
Detective Chief Inspector Gadd went on to add;
“A renewed appeal for information is made as further local enquiries are undertaken in the Comber Place area of Grimsby. We will be carrying out an extensive forensic examination of Jaime’s last known address and the surrounding area in order to piece together her last known movements. We will also be reviewing and revisiting the extensive work already carried out by Northamptonshire Police with the aim of identifying any new possible lines of enquiry to help us to establish the whereabouts of Jaime for her family and friends.
“We would really like to hear from Jaime or from anyone who knew her in 1993. Perhaps you know something about her disappearance, where she may have been over the last 22 years, or the background to her life in Grimsby prior to her going missing? If you have any information at all we would urge you to call Humberside Police on 101 quoting log number 160 of 3 March 2016.
