A date has been set for the trial of a man accused of the murder of a woman whose body has never been found.
David Alex Taylor, 61, from Durham, has been charged with killing 24-year-old Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin from Ashton, and previously pleaded not guilty.
In February 2022, Alisha was reported missing by her family and an investigation was launched to locate her.
In March 2022, officers arrested a man on suspicion of murder but he was later bailed pending further enquiries.
Taylor, of Oak Avenue, Willington, in Durham, has been remanded in custody.
Alisha was last seen in January 2022 in a gold Volkswagen Passat, being driven through Derbyshire.
On January 14 that year, Alisha was seen travelling in the car heading north.
On January 22, 2022, Alisha was again seen travelling in the VW Passat, in the Glossop and Chapel-en-le-Frith area of Derbyshire.
She has not been seen or heard from since.
Since her disappearance, police have carried out extensive searches for Alisha in both County Durham and Derbyshire. They have also searched Ashton.
