Detectives launch new appeal to find missing woman's body
Lancashire detectives have launched a new appeal for information to help them find the body of a woman from Darwen, who was last seen 3 years ago.
Susan Waring, 45, was last seen on 29th January 2019 with a man called Alan Edwards, who was later convicted of her murder. Her body has never been found.
Today is the third anniversary of her disappearance and police are issuing a renewed call to help find her.
Det Ch Insp Lukmaan Mulla, of Lancashire Police, says: “Saturday marks three years since the last confirmed sighting of Susan.
“Her murder remains one of the most difficult and heart-breaking investigations I have dealt with."
It's emerged Susan had been subjected to several assaults by Edwards during their two-month relationship and was seen being punched to the face by him around two weeks before her family last heard from her.
The following day, she attended a doctor’s appointment with multiple injuries, including bruising and severe swelling to the face. Accompanied by Edwards, she was advised to seek medical attention at a hospital but sadly, she never did. Susan was last seen with Edwards at Asda in Darwen.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident reference 0496 of January 27
