One year after her husband was charged with her murder, we ask the question: Where is Linda Razzell?
THIS week marks a year since Highworth man Glyn Razzell was charged with the murder of his wife Linda.
With Razzell set to face trial at Bristol Crown Court in October, mystery still surrounds the disappearance of Linda, a mother-of-four and part-time learning assistant at Swindon College.
Today we ask the question everyone wants answered: where is Linda Razzell?
Linda, 43, vanished on Tuesday, March 19, last year.
It is believed that, after dropping off her children at school in Highworth, she drove her normal route to work in Swindon, parking her red Ford Escort as usual in Alvescot Road, Old Walcot.
There has been no trace of her since, except the recovery of her mobile phone from an alley near where her car was found.
Her cousin, Julie Westmore, travelled from Llanybydder, near Lampeter in south west Wales, to help look after Linda's children.
Speaking from Linda's home in Pentylands, Highworth, at the time, she told the Evening Advertiser the family was taking each day as it came and hoping for the best.
While Glyn Razzell has been bailed to an address in Crewkerne, Somerset, pending his trial, his four children Catherine, Matthew, Emma and Robin have left Highworth and are believed to be staying with relatives in Wales.
A member of the family, who did not wish to be named, said simply: "We are waiting for the trial."
It has been confirmed that Linda had no spare clothes with her, left her passport behind and has not made any transactions from her bank account.
Police have made a detailed examination of Linda's route to work from Old Walcot to Swindon College, which has included sweeps of Queen's Park, in which a team of divers from the Avon and Somerset force searched ponds, lakes and drains.
There was also a reconstruction of Linda's walk to work, via Upham Road and Drove Road, carried out by a member of Swindon police's support staff fitting Linda's description, in which detectives sought clues by talking to people whose daily routine could have coincided with that of the missing mum.
Concern has been voiced by members of Linda's family, as well as her boyfriend Gregory Worrall, who made an emotional appeal for her to return.
The Evening Advertiser helped the search by printing posters, which were distributed around the town.
Linda is white, 5ft 2ins tall, slim, with dark, curly, shoulder length hair which she was wearing in a clip when she was last seen. She has blue eyes and a small scar on the bridge of her nose.
Anyone with information about Linda's whereabouts is asked to contact police on Swindon 528111 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
