Englishwoman disappeared without a trace: corpse found in search of missing mother

After she dropped her daughters off at school, she walked the dog. Since then, a 45-year-old mother from north-west England has disappeared without a trace. Now - several weeks later - a body is found in the area.

A body has been found in a search for a mother who has been missing for weeks in north-west England. The lifeless body was found in the River Wyre near where the 45-year-old was last seen, police said. The body has not yet been identified. "We are currently treating this as an unexplained death," it said.

The woman has been missing since January 27 under mysterious circumstances that have gripped the country for weeks. After dropping her nine- and six-year-old daughters off at school, the woman walked her dog. She took part in a business call on her mobile phone. The dog and cell phone were soon found, but there has been no trace of the 45-year-old since then.

A police report recently caused a stir, according to which the woman was an alcoholic and that the problems had recently increased again because of her menopause. Leading politicians criticized the publication as an inadmissible invasion of privacy.
