A CASH reward is being offered in a bid to find a Southampton mum who was last seen almost three years ago.
Joanne Sheen, a loving mum of three, was last seen in December 2019.
Police have launched multiple searches for her across the city since she was reported missing by her family in early 2020.
Now, the charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for any information that helps find Joanne.
Emily van der Lely, Hampshire regional manager of Crimestoppers, said: "Jo’s loved ones are desperate to know what happened to her. Time is not making their torment or pain any easier.
"If you have information about Jo, please do the right thing and contact our charity, 100 per cent anonymously. It may be that you have crucial information which can make all of the difference in providing answers for Jo’s family and friends."
The 44-year-old, known as 'Jo' and 'Little Jo', is described as being white, around 5ft 1in tall with a slim build.
She has long, dark brown hair and a number of tattoos, including a heart-and-dagger on her right upper arm and a band of flowers.
Jo also has a tattoo of flowers on her right thigh and a star on her right foot. She has a tattoo of blue flowers on her left arm.

The last known sighting of her was on December 5, 2019, when she travelled from Fareham, back to Southampton by train, with a friend.
Over the last two years, officers have spoken to hundreds of witnesses and conducted many searches.
The most recent was in July this year near Mayflower Park, where items including trainers and a handbag were discovered under the pier.
Anyone with information regarding Jo's whereabouts is urged to call 0800 555 111 or report online at Crimestoppers-uk.org
The reward will only be payable for information passed directly to Crimestoppers and not to the police.
