Dinah McNicol went missing in 1991
Human remains have been found by police investigating the disappearance of a teenager 16 years ago.

Dinah McNicol was 18 when she failed to return to her home in Tillingham, Essex, after a trip to a music festival in Hampshire in August 1991.

Essex Police are focusing inquiries on an address in Margate, Kent, where the remains were found during a dig in the garden of the property.

Police could not yet say whether the remains were the teenager's.

A post-mortem examination is to take place and a thorough examination of the property is to be carried out.

At the time of her disappearance, regular withdrawals of cash were made from her building society account at cash points in Hampshire and Sussex.

She had about �2,000 in her account but the withdrawals were out of character.
