Family's heartache after man entered public toilet and vanished - 30 years ago

The family of a man who vanished after entering a public toilet have shared their pain as they mark 30 years since the beloved son and brother disappeared. Steven Clark was just 23 when he went missing after going into the public toilets on the seafront at Saltburn, North Yorkshire, on December 28, 1992.

His family's agony was made even worse in 2020 when Steven's disappearance prompted the launch of a murder investigation following a cold case review - and his parents Doris and Charles were arrested. The devastated pair were later released without charge and an ITV documentary, called 'Accused of Murdering Our Son - The Steven Clark Story' aired, revealing the elderly couple's ordeal.

Steven's sister Victoria spoke at length with TeessideLive, sharing her hopes that her beloved brother will one day soon "walk through the door" after three decades of agony. She said his disappearance has been a "living nightmare" for the whole family, adding that her parents' arrest has had a huge emotional impact on them.
