Police Search For Mother Missing For 21 Years
Police have begun a fresh search of parkland in Coventry for a mother who went missing 21 years ago, after receiving new information.
Nicola Payne, aged 18, went missing from the Wood End area on 14 December 1991. She had a six-month-old son at the time of her disappearance.
She was on her way to her parents' house from her home in Winston Avenue.
Det Ch Insp Matt Markham said: "New information has been developed by detectives working on the case. The investigation into Nicola's disappearance has always remained open and any new information has been examined.
"We would urge the local community to think back as to whether they saw anything suspicious on or around that day either at this location or where Nicola was last sighted, near to the Black Pad in Wood End."
West Midlands Police said the search, which includes Home Office scientists and specially-trained dogs, could take several days to complete.
No-one has ever been charged by police in connection with the case.
In a statement, the family said: "For many years we have suffered not knowing what has happened to her and we are appealing to find Nicola and give us the clue we deserve."
Police said Miss Payne's grown-up son wanted to remain anonymous.
