The loved ones of a beloved mother who vanished nine months ago have accused the police force investigating her disappearance of not reacting fast enough in the first days.
Denise Jarvis, 44, was last seen on the evening of Wednesday August 3, the day after a row with her parents who she had been staying with after she left her husband.
She was reported missing the next day from her home in Kingswood, South Gloucestershire, but it took Avon and Somerset Police nearly another two weeks before their first public appeal on August 17.
