‘I just want my baby back': Mother issues heartfelt plea for missing daughter
The mother of a missing woman thought to have been murdered has pleaded 'I just want my baby back' as the police search intensifies.
It comes as police revealed a third man had been arrested as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Reanne Coulson and searches for her begin to focus on a new location.
Reanne Coulson, 34, from Coventry, was last seen in Raglan Street when she was captured on CCTV visiting a food bank on 21 May.
West Midland's Police said a 38-year-old was detained just before 4pm yesterday in the Coventry area on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and remains in custody.
Police have until Friday evening to charge or release another 42-year-old man who was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of Reanne's murder.
A man, aged 53, who was previously arrested in connection with her disappearance, has been released on bail while the investigation continues.
Ms Coulson's mother Lynne Sparkes has issued a new appeal as the search for her daughter intensifies.
She said: 'Is there anybody out there that knows anything about Reanne's disappearance?
'From one parent to another, you can only imagine how I'm feeling.
'Please come forward to give our family some closure. I just want my baby back.'
Officers and police dogs are searching Binley Woods, near Coventry, as well as other areas neighbouring Warwickshire.
West Midland's Police said they are 'working round the clock' to locate Reanne and have viewed hundreds of hours of CCTV and taken more than 50 statements from potential witnesses as part of the investigation.
Reanne's twin sister Kirsten added: 'If you were in Vauxhall Street on the 21 or 22 May for whatever reason, if you know anything about my sister's disappearance, please let the police know.
'Just pick up the phone no matter how small it is. Anything is better than nothing. Your information might just help us to find her.
'We are all worried sick about her. Words can't describe the pain we are all feeling. Our family are desperate. We need answers. Please help us get Reanne back.'
Detective Superintendent Jim Munro, from our Major Crime Unit, said: 'We are continuing to work flat out to find Reanne, and get the answers that her family so desperately need.
'I believe people in the Coventry area know what has happened to her. It may be that they are reluctant to come forward with information, but it's vital that they do.
'Reanne is so loved by her family. Please do the right thing and help us find her, for their sake.'

Man jailed for killing brother with single punch in drunken fight at motocross
A man has been jailed for two years for killing his brother during a drunken fight. Ben Starr, 35, inflicted a single fatal blow to his brother Lee at a motocross event in Swindon in August last year. Lee Starr, 38, suffered a fatal head injury at the Foxhill motocross event in Upper Wanborough and died later in hospital. At a previous hearing Ben Starr, of Woodside Avenue, Ripley, Derbyshire, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after asking for a 'Goodyear Indication' from a judge – the maximum sentence he could receive. At a sentencing hearing on Thursday Judge Peter Blair KC, The Recorder of Bristol, jailed him for two years. Sam Jones, defending, said at a previous hearing: 'This case on the facts is, in any view, a tragic case. 'Both the defendant and his brother were intoxicated at the relevant time. ' One of the eyewitnesses to the incident, the defendant's father, refers to in his witness statement of Lee after having punched his brother on two occasions and after the two of them end up on the ground, with the defendant restraining his brother, after which they are separated, he sees Lee direct a kick and a punch towards the defendant. 'The defendant in his own interview with the police describes that kick and punch connecting with him. 'But it is accepted on his behalf that the only evidence of those blows connecting come from him. 'The witnesses at the scene see a kick and a punch directed towards him but not connect with him. 'The basis of plea put forward on the defendant's behalf is that after the two are separated and after the attempted kick and punch are thrown, the defendant then accepts in that context throwing the single punch which he did, which caused the injury.' At that hearing Robin Shellard, prosecuting, said the guilty plea to manslaughter was acceptable. In a statement read to the court, Lee Starr's wife Jaye said: '(Lee) was cruelly and senselessly taken from me and our children. 'I never imagined I would be forced to put into words the unbearable grief that now defines our lives. 'We had a future full of hope, love and dreams together. But that future was stolen from us in a horrific moment, and now every single day is a fight just to keep going without him.' Detective Chief Inspector Phil Walker, who led the investigation, said: 'Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of Lee, who has lost his life in such tragic circumstances. 'A life has been cut short following what should have been an enjoyable weekend at a family event. A single punch has ruined the lives of a family.'

EXCLUSIVE I got a call from my autistic son's school saying he didn't show up... we found him HOURS later locked in a sweltering bus - he could have died
A severely autistic teenager sparked a frantic search after he failed to turn up at school - only to be found hours later slumped in the back of a bus that should have safely transported him there. Jimmy Hudson, 13, who is selectively non-verbal, fell into a deep sleep after he was left on the sweltering bus - which had been parked outside the driver's home at the end of his shift - for more than two-and-a-half hours. His distraught mother Tracy, 45, from Westcliff in Essex, has now lashed out at school transport firm Vecteo, owned by Southend-on-Sea City Council, for their 'negligence' and said an apology was not enough. 'A sorry doesn't cut it if my son was lying in a morgue,' she told MailOnline, adding Jimmy was physically unharmed but has been left emotionally traumatised by the distressing incident last Monday. Recalling the events of that morning, Tracy said she had escorted Jimmy - the first of 13 children picked up each day - onto the Vecteo bus as it made its way towards St Nicholas School in Southend. Aside from the bus driver, the vehicles always carry two personal assistants (PA) to help the youngsters. Tracy believed all was well, but around 10am she received a call from the school informing her Jimmy had never arrived. 'What is supposed to happen is that the children are led off the bus by the PAs and taken to a little alleyway that runs down the side of our school. It's completely safe and there's CCTV. Jimmy, who is selectively non-verbal, fell into a deep sleep after he was left on the sweltering bus - which had been parked outside the driver's home at the end of his shift - for more than two-and-a-half hours 'The teachers stand a bit further down in that alleyway waiting for the children to arrive. 'But hours after Jimmy left home, the school rang me to ask where he was because they could not find him. 'My first instinct was that something was not right.' At first, the school believed the teenager might be hiding somewhere on the premises and told Tracy they would conduct a thorough search. When they failed to find Jimmy, staff looked through security footage, but could not see him entering the school grounds. By this point, Tracy had made her way over to the school, which had also now involved Essex Police. Vecteo was contacted several times, but according to Tracy she and the school were repeatedly assured by bosses that Jimmy had 'definitely' left the bus. 'There must have been about four calls. Every time they said he definitely got off the bus, we saw him leaving. 'Then one of the PAs changed their story and said they thought he did leave, but they were not quite sure. 'My son is not a flight and fight child. He's not one to escape and doesn't cope in the outside world. He is riddled with anxiety and sensory process and is selective mute, along with his autism. 'The headmistress and me knew this was not him, it was so out of character. 'There were only two solutions - he was still on that bus or somebody had taken him.' The bus driver was by now asleep at home, but the police officer insisted that Vecteo contact him to search the vehicle. Outside temperatures that day in Southend were around 23C, but the internal temperature of the locked vehicle would have been significantly higher. 'The driver told me after that when he went back onto the bus, he could see a black coat at the back of the vehicle. He looked down and all he could see was a pair of legs. 'The driver then said four times to Jimmy, "you need to wake up" and every time he got louder, but there was still no response. 'He told me that he panicked, that he'd never felt fear like it because Jimmy didn't respond - and he didn't know what he was going to see underneath that coat.' Fortunately, the teenager did not suffer any physical repercussions, but Tracy said he is still processing the incident and has been emotionally harmed. 'Just this afternoon he's come home from school and said "they could have killed me, couldn't they?" And I told him yes, they could. 'You wouldn't keep an animal in a car, so why on earth is it okay for a child to be locked on a bus?' The shocking incident is the latest in a raft of complaints previously levelled at the transport company, which began in 2021 as a joint venture between London Hire Community Services and Southend-on-Sea City Council. These complaints were the subject of a council motion as well as a petition in 2021 calling on the council to stop using Vecteo. The petition attracted more than 1,000 signatures after service users alleged there were 'serious safeguarding concerns'. These included children and vulnerable adults being left on the side of the road, parents waiting hours for collection - and in one case, a child who was 'blue on arrival home' after they had an epileptic fit while on the bus. MailOnline was also told by a Southend-On-Sea City councillor of another distressing incident in which Vecteo employees attempted to deliver a child to the wrong home address. Former Conservative councillor Tony Cox, who now serves as deputy mayor and leader of the Southend Reform UK Group for West Shoebury told MailOnline that while the service level provided by the firm has since improved, scores of residents had continued to flag 'colossal safeguarding issues' against Vecteo. 'There's been a catalogue of these incidents over the last four years and it's just not acceptable. 'I cannot for the life of me understand how something like this could have happened - and then to even tell the parent their child has been offloaded and dropped at school, when that's not the truth. 'I do think there should be a serious probe into what happened here. 'It's just a miracle nobody has been killed.' MailOnline understands that Vecteo and Southend-on-Sea City Council have launched an internal investigation into this latest incident. A Vecteo spokesperson said: 'The safety and wellbeing of all children in our care, particularly those who are more vulnerable, is always our highest priority. 'We take this extremely seriously and are working with Southend-on-Sea City Council to urgently investigate these matters to ensure this cannot happen again.'
