Update: Missing wife of Police Officer
Police are still searching for Sarah Townsend, wife of Bernard Townsend, head of community relations for Glamorgan police force.
The 42 year old went missing after a domestic disturbance at their home which led their daughter calling the emergency services. The call was made at 23:25, but by the time the police arrived at 23:30, Mrs. Townsend had already fled her home, believed to be in a ‘vulnerable state of mind’ and possibly suicidal after consuming an unknown quantity of medication.
In a statement to the press, Inspector John Jones, said the search has so far included police dogs and helicopters, with the public press conferences in the hope that someone will come forward with information. He also gave a message to the missing Mrs. Townsend saying,
“Your daughter misses you, please report to the police.”
Mr. Townsend has not yet been interviewed by police, and they are regarding any information regarding the domestic disturbance as private. Inspector Jones said it was standard practice to handle incidents of missing persons this way, especially due to the vulnerability of Mrs. Townsend.
Sarah Townsend was wearing black leggings, a red jumper with a long black coat and had a black handbag but no money or mobile phone. She is 5ft 7, medium build with collar length black hair and was last seen heading towards St. David’s walk.
Again, Glamorgan Police force are urging anyone with information on the missing Sarah Townsend to report to the police, phone 01443 456128, or visit their website.
