People who know what happened to a missing woman who disappeared 25 years ago should "do the right thing", police have said.
Kellie Pratt, who was 28 and a sex worker, was last seen outside The Rose pub in Queens Road, Norwich, on 11 June 2000.
She took a call 10 minutes later and said she was with a "punter" - a person who remains unknown. Her body has not been found.
"I believe the answer to her disappearance lies within the people she knew in Norwich, and it is those people I would ask to examine their consciences and to come forward and speak to us," said Norfolk Police's cold case manager, Andy Guy.
"There are rumours circulating about what happened to Kellie, but in order to resolve this investigation, those with first-hand information would need to do the right thing.
"After 25 years people's circumstances will have changed and I hope this milestone will be enough to encourage individuals with relevant information to have the courage to come forward."
Ms Pratt, who was from Newcastle, had a chaotic lifestyle and knew only a "small bubble" of people in the Norwich area, Mr Guy had previously said.
Police found the caller who rang her Nokia 6100 at 23:30 BST on the night she disappeared, but the client was never identified, and her phone was not found.
No clues were uncovered during a search of her accommodation in Loddon.
Mr Guy said the police investigation remained open and active.
"Time has passed, but we continue to work on this case and follow up lines of inquiry to find who is responsible and to bring them to justice," he added.
