Family makes heartbreaking plea for body of murdered mum to be found before Christmas A family has issued a heartbreaking Christmas appeal as they face their second festive season without being able to bury their murdered mum.
Carl Cooper, Fiona's partner, was hit with a life sentence in July after killing the mother in the living room of his flat in Catford before taking extensive steps to cover up her killing, including lying to her distraught family.
Fiona’s family, including daughter Savannah, say that they are tormented as they approach a second Christmas without knowing the whereabouts of the body of the kind and loving mother.
Lead investigator, Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn, said: “My team has carried out a huge amount of work to try to find Fiona, using specialist teams to search areas she was known to frequent, open spaces, bodies of water, houses, cars and lockups.
Thousands of hours of CCTV has been seized and viewed, substantial mobile phone enquiries have been reviewed and hundreds of witness statements have been taken, including interviews with Fiona’s family and friends.
