When I first opened the site in the link above there was a yellow popup saying there was helicopter and police activity over grassland.

I'm not sure if it was this case or something else.

Here it is.
I'm not sure if this is in the same area.

This incident is around 10 miles (as the crow flies) from where Glenda was last seen. My guess is that it is unrelated, but you never know.

I hate cases like this - she looks a lovely lady but after over 3 days at her age and in these wet conditions I sadly think this is a recovery operation.

Whilst a joyous time of the year for many - this period of the year can be very upsetting and lonely for some people - unfortunately, that’s where my mind is leading in this case.

Appeal for young person who spoke to missing Glenda to come forward


CCTV footage has revealed that missing 85-year-old Glenda Keal spoke to a teenage boy on a bike at 2.17pm on the afternoon of Sunday 7 December.

We’d like to speak to him.

He was riding a bike and was wearing a dark tracksuit with stripes on the arms. He was carrying a small parcel or takeaway box on the front of his bike.

We can see from the CCTV – taken from a premises on the corner of Coventry Road and Granville Gardens in Hinckley – that he had around a 25 second conversation with Glenda. He’s pointing, seemingly giving Glenda directions.

We’d like to speak to this teenager to find out what Glenda was asking for and what information was given. We are working to understand where Glenda may have travelled to and this boy might have vital information.
