Charlene Hobbs has been missing for five months, and her family seeks help from the public to find her.
Cardiff: It’s been five long months since Charlene Hobbs vanished. Her family is really worried and just wants to know what happened to her.
The police are stepping up their efforts to find her. They’re planning outdoor searches in Cardiff, especially around the places where she was last seen. They want to keep the search going, even during the holidays.
Charlene went missing on July 23, 2024. Initially, they thought the last sighting was at a Morrisons store in Adamsdown. But now, they have a new lead. A mobile phone photo shows her at a property in Broadway the next day.
In the photo, you can see her distinctive dragon tattoo and the same outfit she wore the day before. It’s a crucial piece of evidence that might help the investigation.
Police believe she was in contact with people she knew that evening. They’re also looking into a connection with Abergavenny and a red Nissan Micra that was found burnt out.
Since Charlene was reported missing, the police have been busy. They’ve searched various locations, including abandoned buildings and vehicles, trying to find any clues.
They even seized a Nissan Micra linked to the case. It was found in Abergavenny and had been altered from red to mostly black.
Two men and a woman have been arrested in connection with the investigation but are currently out on bail. The police are still actively searching for Charlene.
As Christmas approaches, the police have renewed their appeal for information. They’re thinking of Charlene’s family, who are facing the holidays without her.
They urge anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward. Every bit helps, and they want to hear from anyone who might have seen or heard something.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell emphasized how much Charlene means to her family and friends. They’re all anxious for news and want to find her.
He’s asking the community to help out. If anyone has information about her calls or messages, or if they met up with her on July 24, they should reach out to the police.
For anyone wanting to help, they can contact South Wales Police through their website or by calling. Every little bit of information could make a difference.
