West Midlands Police has released an appeal for information in a fresh bid to trace a Birmingham woman who went missing nearly 50 years ago. Sarjit Kaur Mann was just 20 when she vanished back in September 1976 and she would be aged 68 now.
Investigating officers from the force’s missing persons unit said Sarjit is from Birmingham and attended Birmingham University. The force said they know she went to France at some stage and are hoping this might jog the memory of someone with information.
