A reward of up to £20,000 has been offered for information that helps police find the body of a woman believed to have been murdered. A murder investigation has been launched after Fiona Holm, 48, was reported missing by her family on 29 June. Officers believe she was killed up to nine days earlier having last been seen on CCTV on the evening of 20 June after she met friends. In the footage, she is wearing a green top and dark leggings and is walking alone in Verdant Lane, Catford, south-east London. A reward of up to £20,000 is being offered for information leading to the recovery of her remains, with her family pleading for people to come forward. DCI Kate Blackburn, of the Met police, said: “I am keen to hear from anyone who saw Fiona since she was last seen in Verdant Lane, SE6, in June this year. “We are piecing together a timeline of what may have been her last movements, and your information, no matter how small, could help us establish what happened to her and where she is. “Have you heard, or do you know, anything concerning where her remains could be found? Even if it is just rumour, please share that information with us – you may even be eligible for a cash reward.” Scotland Yard has previously released footage of Holm in an off-licence on 20 June. The force has linked the case to that of Naomi Hunte, 41, who was found fatally stabbed at her home in Congleton Grove, Woolwich, south-east London, on 14 February last year. Holm was a mother and came from a big family, who issued appeals on Facebook in the days before she was formally reported missing. A spokesperson for the relatives said: “As a family we are facing our first Christmas since Fiona was murdered, and we are tormented by the fact that her body has not been found. “Somebody out there has the information police need to bring Fiona home, so we can say our final goodbyes and try and find some peace. We are living in mental torture. “It is difficult enough for us to come to terms with Fiona’s murder this Christmas, but not knowing where her remains are is an even greater ordeal. We need to be able to lay her to rest. We need to have a funeral. “We just hope that someone has the decency to put us out of our misery and provide police with the information they need to recover Fiona’s body, and allow her and us to rest.” A 65-year-old man was charged with Fiona’s murder on 13 July. He remains in custody. Anyone who saw Holm or has information concerning her disappearance can call 101.
