West Midlands Police are still searching for a 34-year-old woman who went missing last month, and an arrest has now been made in connection with her disappearance.

A 53-year-old man, who is known to Reanne Coulson, has been arrested on suspicion of kidnap and murder.

He remains in police custody today for further questioning.

CCTV footage of Reanne Coulson, who was last seen on 21 May in Coventry, has been released, showing her visit to a food bank at St Mary & Benedict Church at around 9.46pm that day.

Reanne is known to travel to Atherstone and Leamington Spa.

Her family have made a heartfelt plea for information.

Speaking yesterday (23 June), Reanne's family acknowledged that she had been a sex worker.

Her twin sister Kirsten Coulsen, said: "Reanne is not only my sister but my twin sister, a mum, a daughter and an aunt.

"She was last seen near Vauxhall Street in Coventry and if anyone in that area knows or works with Reanne and has seen her, we ask that they get in touch.

"Her life has not been easy for the last few years and we as a family are aware that she lived a chaotic lifestyle.

"Since she was last seen, Reanne hasn't made any contact with us what so ever and it was her birthday on the 17th of June, we share our birthday together, it's just out the ordinary for her to not come home.

"She has missed her son's birthday in May which is totally of her character for her not to be in contact with him on his birthday .

"Please, if you know anything of what she was doing that day or who she was with that will help, we are worried sick and need your help finding her.

"She is loved my many. We will find you no matter what."

Reanne's brother Luke also spoke out to Reanne directly, saying: "Reanne if you're out there and you can hear this please, please come home we're all worried sick waiting for you.

"You aren't in any trouble, we just want you home. Please, please come home."

Detective Superintendent James Munro, from the Major Crime Unit, said: "We want to hear from anyone who saw Reanne her on the night of 21 May, or who has seen her since to come forward and we will treat that information sensitively.

"We have made an arrest but we'd urge people not so speculate.

"We are following several lines of enquiry including speaking to people who know Reanne but we'd ask people to consider her family and if they can help, there are a number of ways to pass that potentially vital piece of information on to us."

A dedicated website has been set up where information can be given and can be found here, or you can call 101 quoting log 6621 of 18 June.
