Police are urgently hunting a car they believe could hold key clues after a 48-year-old woman, Katie, was reported missing, with feared to have ‘come to harm’
Police are hunting for a car they believe could be the key to solving the mystery of a missing woman feared to have “come to harm.”
Katie, 48, was reported missing on Monday, and detectives say they are increasingly concerned for her safety.
Officers have launched an urgent appeal to trace a silver Peugeot 206, registration BT54 LLJ, which they believe could hold vital clues to her disappearance. The vehicle was last known to be on the A444 on January 13 but has not been seen since.
Katie, who wears glasses and has blonde hair, has connections to Nuneaton, Hartshill, Kingsbury and Skegness.
Katie’s disappearance is now being handled by the force’s major crime team, who are pursuing several lines of enquiry. On Friday, officers arrested a 49-year-old man on suspicion of murder as part of the investigation. He remains in police custody.
Detective Inspector Gareth Unett said: “Given the length of time that has passed since Katie was last seen, we’re considering the possibility that sadly, she may have come to harm.
“The silver Peugeot is a critical piece of the puzzle, and we would urge anyone who thinks they have seen the vehicle or who may know anything about Katie’s disappearance to contact us as soon as possible.
“Understandably, Katie’s family really want to find her, and we’re doing everything we can, so please keep sharing our appeal and let us know if you have any details that could help.”
Police are urging anyone with information about the car’s whereabouts or Katie’s movements to come forward immediately. Anyone with information is asked to contact the force and quote incident number 143 of 23 February.
