Disappearance of Nuneaton woman now being treated as suspected murder
It's been six months since Katie Love was last seen
Police have confirmed the disappearance of a woman from Nuneaton six months ago is now being treated as a suspected murder.
Katie Love, who's 48, remains missing despite extensive enquiries by Warwickshire Police's major crime team as well as partner agencies.
The force says they haven't given up hope and continue to work on the case to find out what happened to Katie including trawling through hours of CCTV and speaking with Katie's family and friends.
They're now re-appealing for anyone with information about her disappearance to come forwards.
Katie is known across Hartshill and Kingsbury but has connections to Skegness too.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector, Gareth Unett said: “We know Katie was last seen alive at the end of January and - despite significant investigative work - sadly we have no confirmed proof of life beyond that point.
“We remain open-minded and truly hope she’s found alive and well, however, based on the information we’ve gathered, we strongly believe she may have come to harm and are now treating her disappearance as suspected murder.
“As we continue to try to find her, we remain in close contact with Katie’s family and friends, providing updates and support. Given the length of time that has passed, it’s important to get closure for them.
“If you have information about Katie's disappearance or know where she may be, please tell us. Any information, no matter how small, could prove crucial to our investigation.
“Please share the appeal to help us find Katie so we can get answers for her loved ones.”
Two men arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the investigation have been bailed, while a third man has been released under investigation in connection with Katie's disappearance.
Information can be shared via their online portal or by reporting it online quoting incident number 143 of 23rd February.
