What West Midlands Police said
Detective Sergeant Jenna Shaw, of the cold cases investigation team, was quoted as saying: “We are absolutely delighted to have found Sheila after more than five decades.” Furthermore, he added: “Every missing person has a story, and their relatives and friends deserve to know what happened to them and, hopefully, be reunited with them.
As detailed, a search was carried out among “all the evidence” that the team could find. “Missing people can be of all ages and backgrounds, often with very different reasons,” continues West Midlands Police.
