A substantial cash reward of up to £20,000 has been offered to help solve the unresolved disappearance of 56-year-old south east London woman Nazire Koreli, who vanished from Welling over two years ago. Independent charity Crimestoppers and the Metropolitan Police issued the urgent renewed appeal after sustained forensic inquiries, lake searches, and an arrest failed to establish what happened to her. Ms Koreli disappeared from Welling in September 2024, but her case was formally lodged with law enforcement authorities in February 2025. The renewed appeal marks an intensifying push across the London Borough of Bexley to secure critical testimony and finally deliver closure to her relatives.
Operational inquiries conducted by specialist police teams over the past 24 months have spanned multiple sites across south-east London. Investigators carried out detailed forensic examinations of Ms Koreli’s home in Welling and directed specialist dive and search teams to scour bodies of water across nearby Danson Park. Surveillance specialists also reviewed hundreds of hours of closed-circuit television recordings from local residential and commercial corridors in an effort to trace her last known movements. Despite these sustained forensic sweeps, detectives have found no physical trace confirming where Ms Koreli went after early autumn 2024.
Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, who is leading the Metropolitan Police investigation, confirmed to journalists that two years on from Ms Koreli’s disappearance, her relatives continue to endure the profound pain of unresolved loss. The Senior Investigating Officer stated that the case remains under active investigation, with detectives committed to pursuing every available operational lead. DCI Jolley stressed that Ms Koreli maintained broad social and community connections across Bexley, appealing directly to anyone who knew her or crossed paths with her between September 2024 and February 2025 to come forward with information regarding her movements.
The inquiry escalated into a suspected homicide probe in March 2025, when Metropolitan Police detectives arrested a man in his fifties on suspicion of murder. The individual was subsequently released on police bail, with active investigative work continuing behind the scenes. Daily Dazzling Dawn understands that detectives continue to scrutinise witness accounts, digital data, and historical movement records to determine exactly what transpired after Ms Koreli vanished.
Crimestoppers has stepped in to offer a standalone cash bounty of up to £20,000 for verified information passed directly to the charity that assists the investigation. Alexa Loukas, Regional Manager for London at Crimestoppers, told journalists that the family has spent two years living without clarity, noting the charity's firm belief that someone within the local community holds the decisive piece of evidence required by police. The independent charity confirmed that the reward will remain active for three months, guaranteeing complete anonymity to anyone who provides actionable intelligence.
The Metropolitan Police and Crimestoppers have urged members of the public to review doorbell cameras, dashboard footage, or personal diaries dating back to late 2024. Anyone possessing information can speak to Daily Dazzling Dawn or contact police investigators directly on 101, quoting incident reference CAD 5678 of 28 February 2025.
Members of the public can also communicate directly with Crimestoppers without leaving a digital trace or speaking to police. The charity's UK contact centre operates 24 hours a day on 0800 555 111, alongside an encrypted online intake portal at crimestoppers-uk.org. Detectives emphasise that even seemingly minor recollections regarding Ms Koreli's routines or companions in Welling could prove essential in resolving the mystery.
