Two years after a Wisbech teenager first went missing and detectives in Norfolk are telling Heart they are more determined than ever to find who killed her.

Two years after a teenage girl first went missing and police in Norfolk are still trying to solve her murder.

17-year-old Alisa Dmitrijeva vanished from her Wisbech home in Cambridgeshire in 2011.  

Her body was later found in woodland on the Sandringham Estate, on New Year's Day 2012.

It was so badly decomposed that the Latvian could only be identified by comparing detail from her palm with records held.

Now, on the anniversary of her disappearance, police in Norfolk are re-appealing for help solving her death.

As part of that appeal they've released some new pictures of the clothes Alisa was wearing went she disappeared

Detective Inspector Marie James, of the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team, said: "We absolutely know there are individuals out there who know how and why Alisa died.
 
"We hope that, two years after she went missing, people with important information, if they didn't have the confidence at the time, will now feel able to come forward.

"Alisa's family want answers and we need to bring those responsible to justice."

Officers have also released a picture of the phone Alisa would have been carrying:

 
Alisa moved to the UK from Latvia in 2009.

She was last seen in a car with two men on Friar's Street, King's Lynn at 12.15am on Wednesday 31 August 2011.

Despite extensive enquiries and tests, police still do not know exactly how she died, but continue to treat it as suspicious.
 
Two men arrested in connection with her death were later released without charge. 

Keen to get people to come forward with information Alisa's family have released a picture of her grave - in the hope it'll prompt someone to tell police what they know:
