POLICE trying to find a woman from South Gloucestershire who vanished a year ago today have released images of her bags - which were found in a park.

Denise Jarvis, 44, was last seen on the evening of August 3 last year in the area of Southey Park in Bristol.

CCTV shows the coat she was wearing – a grey, thigh-length sleeveless coat.

Police have also released images of two of Denise’s bags which were found in the park.

Officers say Denise, of Kingswood, Bristol, had other bags with her which have not been found.

Senior Investigating Officer Det Chief Insp Ben Lavender said: “We know how devastating this continues to be for Denise’s loved ones and our thoughts remain very much with them.

“We want to use this first anniversary as a reminder that we’re still appealing for information from the public.

''People have annual routines and events they may attend, so we’d ask them to think back to the same time last year to see if that jogs their memories.

“Every piece of information is important in our efforts to find out what happened to Denise.

“Our investigation will be subject to regular reviews and we’re ready to respond to any new lines of enquiry which come in.”

A thorough investigation has seen officers complete more than 700 actions and speak to more than 90 of Denise’s contacts in the hope of finding her.

Extensive searches of the area where she was last seen have also been carried out.

Searches include using police divers and a drone through POLSA-led searches.
