Steven Clark
Detectives investigating the 1992 murder of a man who was said to have gone missing on a family walk have rereleased footage of him last seen more than 20 years ago.
Police are treating Steven Clark’s mysterious disappearance as murder following a cold case review, although his body has not been found.
Mr Clark’s elderly parents, Doris and Charles, have been arrested and questioned about his death and their neat semi was searched in September.
They have denied any responsibility and his mother described the situation as “absolutely ludicrous”.
Now police have released footage of Mr Clark, who was from Marske-by-the-Sea, Cleveland, on the anniversary of when he went missing, on December 28, 1992.

Missing Steven Clark, who disappeared on December 28, 1992 at Saltburn
Cleveland and North Yorkshire Cold Case Unit has now released new footage of Mr Clark, who was 23 when he was last seen going into a gentlemen s public toilet on Saltburn promenade.
His mother had gone into the ladies at the same time. He was not seen coming out of the toilets and did not return home.
The short clip was taken from a training video for the Redcar branch of the Rathbone Society charity - for which Mr Clark worked - in the 1990s.

Detectives investigating the murder of a 23-year-old man who went missing 28 years ago have released footage of him in an effort to find his killers.
Steven Clark, from Marske-by-the-Sea, Cleveland, was said to have gone missing during a family walk on December 28, 1992.
A cold case review led detectives to suspect he had been murdered, and earlier this year Mr Clark s parents Doris, 81, and Charles, 78, were arrested and questioned over their son s death. They have been released under investigation.
Mrs Clark denied the couple murdered their son, saying the situation was absolutely ludicrous and the couple have vowed to clear their name.
