Since 66-year-old Janet Edwards went missing from Hereford on 10th December, Your Herefordshire alongside numerous other local news outlets have continued to share appeals that have reached hundreds of thousands of people. This combined with regular appeals from her friends and family means that Jan is firmly in the thoughts of the majority of people living in Herefordshire.

From West Mercia Police:

Janet, who is age 66, is a healthy lady and a keen runner whose disappearance is completely out of character.

She is a well-known and well-liked member of the Herefordshire Community having served for our NHS.

Detective Inspector Cath Taylor, of West Mercia Police, said: “I would like to thank our public in Herefordshire and beyond for their continued support with this investigation and sharing our appeals, along with those who have been searching tirelessly of their own accord.

“We continue to conduct enquiries and searches utilising specially trained officers, police dogs and volunteer rescue groups in an effort to locate Janet.

“Her family continues to be supported and updated by the police at this difficult time.”

Janet was last seen in the area of Beechwood Court, Hereford at 3pm on Friday 10 December 2021. CCTV images of her on the day she went missing show her wearing a green Raab jacket, blue jeans and casual brown boots with a white trim and sole.
