South Wales Police said the last confirmed sighting of Charlene Hobbs was a photograph of her taken at a property in Broadway, Adamsdown, Cardiff, at 06:07 BST on 24 July 2024.

"We have always been determined to find Charlene alive and return her to her family, but despite a huge number of enquiries we have no proof that Charlene is alive," he added.

"I still firmly believe that answers lie in the community, and that someone out there holds key information that will help us find Charlene".

"We are grateful for the support of Crimestoppers and the reward to help us find her, and hope that this will help people to come forward with information about what has happened to Charlene."
