On June 16, 1990 Trevaline Evans left a note in the window of her antiques shop telling customers she would be "back in two minutes."
But the 52-year-old disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.
Almost 30 years on and the case, which was treated as a murder investigation, remains as much a mystery now as it did then.
Timeline :
Mrs Evans left her Attic Antiques shop in Church Street, Llangollen at around 12.40pm on the day she disappeared.
At about 1pm, she bought an apple and a banana from a shop on High Street and was seen crossing Castle Street.
Those who saw her said she was happy, relaxed and had made plans to go out in the evening.
Itβs thought she may have Βreturned to her shop Βbecause a banana skin was found in a bin.
But her handbag and jacket were left behind along with some flowers and fruit she had planned to take home.
The last confirmed sighting was at 2.30pm that day near her home on Market Street, and her car was left parked just 30 yards from the shop.
No money was ever taken from her bank Βaccount, convincing locals and detectives that she had been Βabducted and murdered.
Twists and turns :
- An artist's impression of a man in a blazer apparently seen in her company was drawn up and circulated during the investigation in 1990.
- In 2001, the case was reopened by police. It was then that her husband, Richard, then 72, was arrested but later released without charge. Richard had been away during the week of her disappearance and was renovating the couple's holiday bungalow near the coast at Rhuddlan.
Trevaline had spent a couple of days there earlier in the week of her disappearance but returned to Llangollen on Wednesday, June 13.
- In 2019, Andy Sutton, from Wrexham, a former chief auditor for Flintshire Council, said both he and brother Lee, from Kinmel Bay, heard information relating to Trevaline's disappearance earlier this year, which sparked their interest.
Mr Sutton claims "new circumstantial evidence" came to his attention in February that points to Mrs Evans' remains being in Rhuddlan.
He said the information was passed on to police immediately. [https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/cops-referred-themselves-police-watchdog-16300415](https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north
