The Last Sightings of Heather West

Heather West was last seen on June 17, 1987 when she was four months shy of turning 17. Witnesses recalled the exact date as it was the day that Annamarie West had hosted a birthday party for her three-year-old daughter. She spent most of the afternoon alone in the back garden, looking sad and lethargic. Fred bullied Heather throughout the event, saying, don't fucking stand there like a lemon, a derogatory word he used for lesbian. At the time, Heather was making arrangements to move to Torquay, a seaside town 130 miles from Gloucester.
