Murder arrest in missing woman investigation

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, following an investigation into a missing Nuneaton woman.

Warwickshire Police was alerted to 48-year-old Katie's disappearance on 23 February and the case is being investigated by the force's major crime team.

"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," Det Insp Gareth Unett said.

A 49-year-old man from Nuneaton remains in police custody.

Katie has been described as blonde with glasses and police have said she is known to have connections to Nuneaton, Hartshill, Kingsbury, and Skegness.

The force released an appeal for help in finding a silver Peugeot 206 - registration number BT54 LLJ - which is believed to be linked to her disappearance.

Unett added: "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."
