THE father of missing schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton believes sex killer Peter Tobin is responsible for her disappearance.

Police have refused to deny reports that her DNA had been found at Tobin's former Bathgate home following a search of the property last month.

Fifteen-year-old Vicky was last seen in the town in February 1991, less than a mile away from where Tobin lived in Robertson Avenue.

Now Vicky's father Michael has told how he believes it was Tobin, who was jailed in May for the rape and murder of Polish student Angelika Kluk, is to blame for his daughter's disappearance.

He was reported as saying: "I'm led to believe Tobin was in Bathgate at the time Vicky disappeared and from what he did to Angelika Kluk, it seems to fit."

"When I read about Angelika Kluk, I see my own daughter there and it frightens me.

"I think he's probably done it to my girl. If it was Tobin, and they get him now, he'll never be free again."
