Elizabeth, I think you may be thinking of Claudia Lawrence.

In my neighbourhood at home there was a case where a chap walked out of his house one day, just upped and left his wife and children (I remember it because he was a former classmate of my brother). I wonder how on earth the person left behind copes with something like that.
I wonder is there ever a point where you are truly able to decide it's time to move on?

Yes.I believe the father of the "missing" young female College Chef {regretfully her name escapes me :-( has been a campaigner for this as he has had to continue paying his daughters mortgage because he was not allowed to sell the property as she had not been declared deceased

Here's something....for anyone who is interested...


PRESUMPTION OF DEATH Certificate (in the cases of missing persons).

As a result of the Presumption of Death Act 2013 -
From 1 October 2014 relatives of missing persons are able to apply for a certificate of presumed death, allowing them to resolve legal and financial affairs of the missing (presumed dead) person.
