Family's Heartfelt Plea for Missing Reanne Coulson as Man Arrested for Kidnap and Murder
June 26, 2025
Reanne Coulson, a 34-year-old woman missing since May 21, 2025, has prompted her family to make a heartfelt plea for her safe return, particularly after a 53-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and kidnap.
CCTV footage released by police shows Coulson near St Mary and Benedict Church in Coventry, where she was last seen leaving with food and a carrier bag.
Concerns for Reanne's well-being intensified when she failed to contact her family on her birthday, June 17, raising alarms about her safety.
Her sister, Kirsten, emphasized the urgency of the situation and urged anyone with information regarding Reanne's whereabouts to come forward.
To assist in the investigation, police have set up a dedicated website for information submissions and provided contact numbers for anonymous reporting.
Coulson's family, especially her mother Lynne Sparkes, has made emotional appeals for information, expressing their distress and the need for closure.
Detective Superintendent Jim Munro from West Midlands Police is urging witnesses from the night of May 21 to provide information, assuring that it will be handled sensitively.
The police are pursuing multiple lines of inquiry and are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who knew Reanne.
Reanne has been described by her twin sister as living a 'chaotic' life and was known to have worked as a sex worker in the Coventry area.
The investigation involves over 100 police officers who are reviewing hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and gathering witness statements to locate Coulson.
Acknowledging her history as a sex worker, Reanne's family expressed concern over her unusual absence and the lack of communication.
At the time of her disappearance, Coulson was wearing a black hoodie with red writing, black jeans with tears, and white footwear, and she carried a small black handbag.
