She reported her granddaughter missing but died without closure - now a family are desperate for answers

People who know the truth about Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin's disappearance are being urged to 'search their conscience' after her 'closest' relative died without answers. The young woman, from Tameside, was reported missing to police by her grandmother on February 2 last year.

Alisha, aged 24 when she disappeared, had been living with her grandmother in Ashton-under-Lyne and police believe they had a strong bond. Greater Manchester Police escalated its missing person's investigation into a murder probe last March, and Alisha's family made a public plea for information so they could 'lay her to rest'.

But tragically, police say Alisha's grandmother died without ever finding out what had happened to her beloved granddaughter. DCI Andrew Naismith, senior investigating officer, believes it is 'one of the saddest things' about Alisha's case and is urging anyone with vital information to help deliver justice for the rest of the family.
