Lisa Pour

A MURDER investigation has been launched ten years after the disappearance of a mother-of-three.

Lisa Pour, who would have been 51 this month, gas been missing since Tuesday January 16 2013.

Police said today (Friday) that the absence of any contact from Lisa, who was devoted to her family, has led detectives to conclude that she has come to harm.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil Rawlinson said: “Lisa was a mother-of-three children that she adored, she was close to her parents and while her lifestyle could be described as somewhat chaotic, she would not have broken contact with her loved ones.”

At the time of her disappearance, Lisa was around 5ft 2ins tall and of slim build, with dark hair, she was known to frequent Camden and Brent.

It was established that she had been staying at a flat in Kilburn High Road which was known to be popular with drug users. Over the years police have spoken with a variety of people with connections to the address who have repeated ‘rumours’ they have heard, but that information has never resulted in any concrete evidence.

DCI Rawlinson added: “Every day that has gone by Lisa’s family has hoped that she would walk through the door and put an end to the agony of not knowing what happened to her. I am hoping that now, with the passing of time, someone who knows what happened to Lisa may feel that they can come forward and share what they know. If you can help us please don’t hesitate to get in touch, either directly or anonymously through Crimestoppers, but please do make the call.”

Lisa’s father Reza Pour said: “Lisa’s absence in our lives has been a daily struggle, but we always held onto the hope that she might still come back to us. To think that her last moments may have been filled with fear and pain is something that we cannot get over. Someone out there knows what happened to our beloved Lisa. Please come forward and help us find justice for her and find her body so she can properly be laid to rest.”
