A murder investigation is underway following the disappearance of Sarah Henshaw from Ilkeston.

Sarah was last seen at around 9pm on Tuesday 20th June at her home address on Norman Street, Ilkeston and has not been seen since.

The 31-year-old is described as white, of a medium build with long dark straight hair which she wears in a bun. She is thought to be wearing a black lightweight coat, a khaki green top, blue skinny jeans, and black flat pumps. She also has a tattoo on her right foot.

A man has been arrested in connection with the investigation and remains in custody.

We are keen to hear from anyone that may have CCTV or dashcam footage of a blue Ford Transit van in the early hours of Wednesday 21 June around the area of J29 of the M1 and the A617 Chesterfield.

Detective Inspector Maria Pleace said: “We have information in relation to Sarah’s disappearance that has led us to believe that she may be seriously hurt or deceased.

“Sarah’s disappearance is very out of character and finding her is our number one priority at this time.

“I would like to appeal to the public for CCTV and dashcam footage as stated or any other information that may be of use to our investigation."
