A detective has pledged to never give up searching for the body of a murdered mother-of-five. Susan Waring, 45, from Darwen, near Bolton, was last seen on January 29 2019, with her boyfriend Alan Edwards, who was later jailed for life for her murder.
Desribed in court as a 'violent and controlling' bully Edwards was jailed for a minimum of 27 years. He pretended he last saw Susan when he claimed she kissed him goodbye and walked out of his flat in Darwen, on January 30, 2019.
But a murder trial at Preston Crown Court heard Edwards killed the 45-year-old, disposed of her body and then attempted to cover his tracks.
After Edwards was arrested in March 2019, a forensic examination of his flat in Blackburn Road, Darwen, found blood in various locations and on items throughout the premises.
