Mystery of mum who vanished decades ago and could have been killed

The former RAF servicewoman was last seen at her Cambridgeshire home in November 1993, but there have been no traces of her since

There are many cases of murders or missing people that have been left cold for many years. Over the last few decades, there have been cases left with no trace of investigation across Cambridgeshire.

A case left as a mystery for over three decades is the disappearance of Davina McMillan from Godmanchester. The former RAF servicewoman, aged 36 at the time, was last seen alive at her home in Godmanchester on November 25, 1993.

It was believed she went to Germany to look for work. When there was no sign of her, she was reported missing by her brother, Gary Coulson, on December 27.

Since then, there has been no trace of her. At the time when she was last seen at her home, she lived with her four-year-old daughter Rebecca. Davina’s family said she would have never left her beloved daughter.

In 2020, Gary claimed that he had been told by a cold case detective that Davina’s case had changed from a missing person’s investigation to a murder investigation. At the time, he appealed to the public to share any vital information with Cambridgeshire Police.

Gary told The Mirror in 2020: “I hope more people will come forward to help the investigation. Even after all this time it could only take one key witness to crack the case.

“Losing Davina still hurts as much now as it did then. I have a daughter who is a ringer for my sister and every time I see her it makes me think of her.

“I’m desperate for the case to be solved. I’ll never stop fighting to find out what happened.”
