On July 2nd 2019 a call from a refugee camp in Greece was received by Greater Manchester Police. In broken English a man explained a woman was missing.
With the word "Manchester" and the address "Hall Road" gleaned from the caller, the force immediately began a search. It led them to a house in Rusholme where Hadir Al-Enezi, 26, and her six-year-old daughter had briefly lived.
But both had disappeared. Thankfully, the child was located soon afterwards in London, visiting a relative, but Hadir has never been found. Dectectives now believe she has been murdered in a targeted attack.
An inquiry of four years has revealed a devastating hypothesis: that Hadir, a beautiful young mother was killed for having a secret relationship with another man, even though she was divorced from the child's father.

The theory that she was seeing another man is denied by Hadir's parents - who say they would know if it was the case - but it remains a line of inquiry.
Detectives have interviewed more than 20 members of Hadir's family in Greece and Sweden in an attempt to get a picture of her life and why it apparently ended so brutally. Today, GMP announced a reward of £50,000 for information leading to recovery of her body. In addition letters are to be posted to members of a specific ethnic minority in Manchester pleading for assistance.
Hadir and her daughter had arrived in the UK on November 7th 2018. She had moved in the hope of giving her young child a better life. The two travelled to the UK from Mytilini on the Greek island of Lesbos. Hadir and her child are originally from Kuwait, but are members of the Bidoon Arab minority.
