Search for teenager reported missing 50 years ago

A fresh appeal has been made to find a woman reported missing as a teenager more than 50 years ago.

Sheila Fox, from Coventry, was last seen in the city centre in 1972 when she was 16-years-old.

At the time of her disappearance she was living with her parents and it has been speculated she may have been in a relationship with an older man.

She may have left the area and changed her name, West Midlands Police said, but there are no traces of her in public records. They said they just wanted to find out what happened to her and whether she came to any harm.

"It is believed Sheila's parents are now deceased, so we are hoping anyone out there who might know what happened to her will get in touch with us and let us know," a spokesman said.
