Police officers investigating the disappearance of estate agent Suzy Lamplugh in west London say they remain "haunted" by the case, four decades after she went missing.
Lamplugh, 25, vanished after leaving her Fulham office to meet a client on the afternoon of 28 July 1986. She never returned and her body has never been found.
As the Metropolitan Police investigation is due to be mothballed next year, cold case detectives say they are troubled by the continuing mystery.
To mark the 40th anniversary of her disappearance, the Lamplugh family has released previously unseen photographs featuring her siblings Lizzie, Tamsin and Richard and her parents Paul and Diana.
