A MURDER probe has been launched into the disappearance of a mum-of-three ten years after she vanished.

       Lisa Pour, who would be 51 this month, was last seen on January 16, 2013, in Willesden Green, North West London.

       Police have carried out extensive enquiries into her mysterious disappearance but no trace of her has ever been found.

       The Met today confirmed they have referred the case to homicide detectives.

       Officers say a lack of contact from Lisa, who was "devoted" to her family, has led them to believe she has come to harm.

       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.”

       At the time of her disappearance, Lisa was staying at a flat in Kilburn High Road that was known to be popular with drug users.

       Police have spoken to people connected to the address but have received no concrete evidence, just "rumours".

       Lisa's dad Reza Pour has now spoken of his agony at the grim development as he urged someone with information to come forward.

       He 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.”

       Lisa has been described as 5ft 2ins tall with a slim build and had dark hair when she vanished.

       She was known to frequently visit the Camden and Brent areas of London.

       DCI Rawlinson added: “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.

       "If you can help us please don’t hesitate to get in touch, either directly or anonymously through Crimestoppers, but please do make the call.”

       Anyone with information can call police the incident room on 020 8358 0200 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
