I'm saddened after all these years of not knowing one way or the other to hear police now think my mate from my childhood years, Sallyann John has been murdered.

This lively, lovely, bubbly girl with a soft spot for comedy, it's very sad. I think some little service should be held for her sooner rather than later before she is found (if indeed the poor thing is found). Some little bit of recognition that behind the title "sex worker" that is branded on her by local papers, TV and radio, a real genuine, kind loving girl existed. R.I.P Sally.
