Who are Danielle Jones’ parents Linda and Tony and where are they now?
TEENAGER Danielle Jones went missing as she made her way to school back in 2001.
The 15-year-old never saw her family again after she vanished in Tilbury, Essex – here’s everything you need to know about her parents.
Who is Danielle Jones’ mother Linda?
Linda Jones is the mother of murdered schoolgirl Danielle Jones.
She received a phone call at 2.30pm on June 21, to say her daughter had not turned up for her lessons.
Recalling that time in her life, Linda said: ”It was so out of character for Danielle. She’d never dream of bunking off.”
After a couple of hours, Linda called the police, while her husband Tony went to his sister and Campbell’s house to see if they’d heard anything from Danielle.
Who is Danielle Jones’ father Tony?
Tony Jones is the father of tragic Danielle Jones.
He and other family and friends trawled the East Tilbury area in search of Danielle when she vanished.
Tony and his wife Linda previously urged Campbell to reveal where he hid the body.
Linda said she hoped Campbell would “do the right thing and allow us to lay our darling daughter to rest”.
What have Linda and Tony Jones said about Stuart Campbell?
Stuart Campbell was married to Danielle’s dad’s sister, Debbie – making him her uncle through marriage.
Campbell met Debbie when she was 15 and the pair lived together for 13 years before marrying in August 1998.
Danielle, then 12, was one of their bridesmaids.
In 2002, Stuart Campbell was convicted by a majority verdict and jailed for life for killing the teenager.
Linda previously said: ”I never thought I’d be in a situation where I had to tell my sons their sister was dead and their uncle was responsible.”
She told the Mirror in 2022: “It’s important I tell him face-to-face how this has impacted on me and I will be reading my statement out myself.
“He’s going to see what he has done to me. It’s not something I’m looking forward to.
“Whether I look at him, I couldn’t tell you, but he needs to be in that room listening to what he has done to the family.”
What are Linda and Tony Jones doing now?
Linda and Tony are still looking for the final piece of justice in finding Danielle’s body.
Killer Campbell has never revealed where the body of the schoolgirl is.
In 2019, heartbroken Linda also said she did not want him to be released if he still hadn’t revealed where her body was, citing Helen’s Law.
