52 years later, a woman has been found, solving one of the UK's longest missing person cases.

After over 50 years, one of Britain's most enduring missing person cases has finally been solved. The case of Sheila Fox, who disappeared from Coventry at the age of 16 in 1972, has been resolved thanks to a renewed appeal and the help of a key informant.

At the time of her disappearance, Sheila was living with her parents and it was believed that she may have been involved with an older man. Despite extensive efforts by the police over the years, there was no trace of her and it was speculated that she may have simply moved away without notifying anyone.

However, last week, the police made a fresh appeal for information, keeping an open mind about the possibility that Sheila may still be alive and living elsewhere. And to everyone's surprise, within hours of the appeal, a member of the public came forward with crucial information.

Thanks to this valuable information, detectives were able to locate Sheila, now 68 years old, safe and well in another part of the country. A spokesperson for the police expressed their joy at finally being able to close this long-standing missing person investigation.

The appeal for Sheila's whereabouts was sparked by a single photo of her from around the time of her disappearance, which was found by officers and shared on social media. This led to the breakthrough that had eluded investigators for decades.

Detective Sergeant Jenna Shaw, from the Cold Case Investigation Team, expressed her delight at finally finding Sheila and acknowledged the hard work of her colleague DC Shaun Reeve in bringing closure to this case with the help of the public.

She also emphasized the importance of solving missing person cases, as every individual has a story and their loved ones deserve to know the truth and, if possible, be reunited with them. In the end, the perseverance and determination of the police, along with the assistance of the public, brought a happy ending to this decades-long mystery.
