Charges Filed in Long-Awaited Murder Case of Missing Mother of Seven.

Detectives are appealing for information about a woman who went missing nearly 30 years ago. Patricia Lashley, a mother-of-seven, was last seen in the Dudley area in the mid 1990s. She was known to frequent the local No Limits club and other pubs in the town.

Ms Lashley also used the names Vanessa and Tricia, as well as the surname Bradford. She had connections to Trevor Dunkley, and police are urging anyone who may have known or remembers meeting them to come forward.

Detective Inspector Michelle Cordell is leading the investigation and is urging the public to share any information they may have. "We know she was fairly well-known in both Dudley town centre and Oldbury," she said. "If anyone remembers anything or thinks they have any information that could help with our inquiries, please do not hesitate to get in touch."

Even if individuals have already spoken to police at the time of Ms Lashley's disappearance, Detective Inspector Cordell is urging them to come forward again. The investigation aims to gather as much information as possible to help her family find closure after nearly three decades.
