A murder investigation has launched for a Kilburn mother-of-three who went missing ten years ago.
Lisa Pour, who would have been 51 this month, was reported missing ten years ago on January 16, 2023 – but despite extensive searches for her, no evidence to establish what happened has been found.
At the time of her disappearance, Lisa was described as around 5ft 2ins tall and of slim build, with dark hair, and was known to frequent Camden and Brent.
She had been staying at a flat in Kilburn High Road that was known to be popular with drug users.
Over the years, police have spoken with people connected to the address who have repeated rumours they heard, but no concrete evidence was provided.
During this time, she has not contacted her family.
Metropolitan Police today (July 21) said that detectives concluded she has come to harm and the investigation has been passed to homicide detectives.
Lisa’s father, Reza Pour, said: “Lisa’s absence in our lives has been a daily struggle, but we always held onto the hope that she might still come back to us.
“To think that her last moments may have been filled with fear and pain is something that we cannot get over. Someone out there knows what happened to our beloved Lisa.
“Please come forward and help us find justice for her and find her body so she can properly be laid to rest.”
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Rawlinson of the Met’s specialist crime command said: “Lisa was a mother-of-three children that she adored, she was close to her parents and while her lifestyle could be described as somewhat chaotic, she would not have broken contact with her loved ones.
“Every day that has gone by Lisa’s family has hoped that she would walk through the door and put an end to the agony of not knowing what happened to her.
“I am hoping that now, with the passing of time, someone who knows what happened to Lisa may feel that they can come forward and share what they know.”
