THE family of a 64-year-old Darwen woman who has been missing for nearly four weeks have made an emotional plea for her to come home. 

Mum-of-three Sandra Chadwick was last seen at about 4pm on January 12 at her home on Hilton Road. 

In a statement, Mrs Chadwick’s family said: “Mum, it’s been nearly four weeks now since you’ve been gone, there is nothing we can’t sort out as a family. 

“Please just come home, we all love you very much and we need our mum with our family. 

“If you see this message, please just get in contact with someone. All our love, your three loving sons.”

Mrs Chadwick is white, 5ft 2in tall, skinny build and short black hair. She was wearing a blue weather-proof coat and bleached jeans.

Police believe she may have travelled out of the area and may possibly be sleeping rough.

Officers said she may introduce herself to others by a different name, possibly Ann.

Det Insp Rachel Higson said: “Sandra’s disappearance is very concerning and despite several appeals for information about her whereabouts, we have yet to find her.

“I would urge anyone reading this appeal to have a good look at Sandra’s picture. Have you seen Sandra or a woman matching her description?

“Any information, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, could be crucial to helping to find her.

“Furthermore, I would ask Sandra, if she sees this appeal, to come forward and let us know she is safe and well.”

Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting log number 1063 of January 14.
