Met Police slammed after missing woman found dead in Wales

Metropolitan Police "inadequacies" possibly "caused or contributed" to the death of a woman missing from London who was later found dead in Wales, an inquest has concluded. The body of 28-year-old marketing director Hannah Warren was found near the entrance of Port Talbot docks on February 4, 2016, around 100m away from where her car was found in a lock.

Ms Warren's family issued a statement at the conclusion of the inquest in Swansea paying tribute to her "natural style, charisma and flair" and calling for changes in the Metropolitan Police to ensure that "multiple missed opportunities to intercept Hannah" were not repeated in future.

The hearing before a jury had been told the Metropolitan Police in London had been carrying out an investigation to locate her as a medium-risk missing person after she was reported missing the previous day. The status was later changed to high-risk.
