''Charlene Hobbs, 36, from Riverside, Cardiff, has not been seen since July 2024, and her missing person case is now being treated as a murder, due to there being no evidence to suggest she is still alive.

The last confirmed sighting of her is a mobile phone photograph taken of Charlene at a property in Broadway, Adamsdown.


Charlene’s disappearance is now being treated as murder and the Crimestoppers charity is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.''
