Disappearance of woman in Bedfordshire now being treated as murder
Annette Smith hasn't been seen since November last year
The disappearance of a woman in Bedfordshire is being treated as murder.
It’s believed that Annette Smith, from West Wing, Fairfield Park, near Stotfold, has not been seen since November 2023, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Detectives from Bedfordshire Police now sadly say they think the 74 year old is no longer alive and may have been killed deliberately.
They've yet to make any arrests so far and are appealing for information.
Detective Chief Inspector Dale Mepstead, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said:
“We have been carrying out thorough enquiries into Annette’s disappearance and based on the information that we have, we are now treating this as a murder investigation.
“We believe that Annette was last seen on or around 11 November 2023. We are appealing for anyone who may have spoken with or seen Annette in early November to contact us, as well as anyone who may have any information about her.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting Operation Broome.
