Body Found In Hunt For Missing Woman

The police in South Wales Police have found the body of a woman in the Cefn Coed area.

The find is being linked to an investigation into the disappearance of a 48-year-old woman from Merthyr Tydfil

The body was discovered at about noon on Friday, but she has not been identified yet.

The missing woman is Sharon Crumb who was last seen at her Union Terrace home on 13 January. Police appealed for help in tracing her at the time and again just yesterday.

Mrs Crumb's beige VW Golf was found near where the body was discovered.

A post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the cause of death.

Mrs Crumb's husband, Adrian issued an appeal a week ago for help in finding his wife, who he said had been depressed for two or three months.

She drove away from their home with no clothes and little money, said Mr Crumb, a welder, at the time.

He said he and daughter Lauren, 17, and son Gavin, 28, were very worried about her, and her disappearance was totally out of character.
