Police fear missing woman dead due to lack of evidence showing signs of life

Officers investigating the disappearance of a 39-year-old woman in Birmingham nine months ago, say they believe she may be dead, because they have failed to find any evidence to suggest otherwise.

Detective Inspector Warren Hines said Lisa Bennett has done none the usual things you would associate with normal life, like making telephone calls or going to the bank, since she went missing in May last year.

Lisa Bennett's mother, Janet, has also appealed for any information that will help police find her.
