The daughter of a missing teacher has issued an emotional plea to bring her mother home on the one-year anniversary of her disappearance.
'Beloved' Nazire Koreli, 55, is thought to have vanished from her home, in Welling, London, in September 2024. She was not reported missing until five months later when her friends and family became increasingly worried.
She was well known in the area where she was often spotted walking her dog, Diego, in Stevens Park.
Scotland Yard officers have scoured hours of CCTV and conducted an extensive search of her home address, but her whereabouts remain unknown.
A man in his 50s arrested six months ago on suspicion of murder is currently still on police bail.
Her daughter has now spoken of her daily torment since her mother went missing, as a £20,000 reward is offered to help solve the mystery of Nazire's disappearance.
In an emotional statement, she said: 'My world stood still the day I discovered my mother was missing. Since then, not a day has passed without questions.
'She was a teacher for many years, beloved by many. A mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and now a grandmother.
'I have had to learn to live with the unknown and be strong for my family's sake. But while she is missing, and we have no answers, life will never be the same.
'If you have any information, no matter how small, that could help us find her, or bring us some closure, I urge you to please contact the police. Even the smallest detail could make a difference.'
The reward is being offered for a period of three months through Crimestoppers.
The charity said it guarantees that everyone who contacts them stays 100 per cent anonymous.
Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, of Specialist Crime South, said: 'It's been a year since Nazire was last seen and her family remain without the answers they deserve.
'We continue to keep an open mind and share our optimism with Nazire's family that she will be found safe and well.
'Nazire had many friends and acquaintances in the Bexley area and we are asking anyone who knew her to think back and contact us if they saw her between September 2024 and March 2025.
'She is described as a woman of a slim build, with light brown hair and olive skin.
'If you have seen her, please contact us.'
Anyone with knowledge about Nazire's whereabouts should contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website crimestoppers-uk.org.
