MURDERED schoolgirl Danielle Jones’ mum plans to face her child’s killer at his parole hearing.
Linda Jones, 62, will face murderer Stuart Campbell to read her victim impact statement when he makes a freedom bid within months.
She told the : “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.”
Killer Campbell has never revealed where he hid the schoolgirl's body after murdering his niece in 2001.

Linda added: “It’s like when someone dies and you have a few weeks between them passing away and the funeral. It’s a limbo, it’s just unbearable really.”
Campbell's brother Alix Sharkey last month insisted he should never be freed until he reveals where the body is.
He told the Parole Board: "Her parents have been through a living hell. They have never had closure.
"My brother hasn’t even given them their daughter so they have a place to grieve.”

"Even murderers can say 'I'm sorry'."
Danielle's parents Linda and Tony last year 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”.
Essex Police said: “Danielle’s never left the thoughts of all of us.”
They never saw her again after she left to catch a bus to school in June 2001 in Tilbury, Essex.
Last year Sharkey revealed the moment he knew his brother had abducted and murdered the schoolgirl, saying: "He couldn't look me in the eye."
The Parole Board confirmed Campbell’s review was “following standard processes” and added: “Public safety is our number one priority.”
Campbell married into the Jones family and had groomed Danielle for months.
