Thirty year search for teenager who was last seen in Grimsby following argument over CDs as Humberside Police issue new appeal for answers

It has been nearly three decades since 16-year-old Jaime Ann Cheesman was seen storming out of a Grimsby flat following a row over CDs.

Although there have been numerous unconfirmed sightings of her in the years since - some as recent as 2019 - Ms Cheesman has not been heard from since.

The then-teenager who is originally from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, was reported missing in November 1993 but despite extensive enquiries and numerous reported sightings, she has never been found.

Tragically, Jaime's mother Barbara passed away without ever finding answers about what happened to her daughter.

But on what would be the missing woman's 43rd birthday, her father Eric, 78, has now issued a fresh appeal for information on her whereabouts in a desperate effort to bring new light to the case.

"It’s been a long time but I am still hopeful," Mr Cheesman said.

"I do really miss her – like any dad would. I just want my daughter home."

Since she was last seen on November 2, detectives have followed leads on Ms Cheesman's whereabouts including reports she was staying in a hotel in London and going by the name Naomi, as well as interviewing a possible ex-partner in Brighton.

Mr Cheesman said: “I don’t have a clue what happened to Jaime but I will never give up hope that I will see her again. I am confident she will be back home one day.

“I know she had a lot of friends in Grimsby, so I’m hoping that someone who knew them all may be able to help us.”

Jaime was known to spend a lot of time in Grimsby, where she spent time with her best friend Joanne and brother Darren.

Diaries and letters examined by detectives also revealed Jaime corresponded regularly with several contacts.
