Jon Ward, brother of Karen, a blacksmith from Gloucestershire, told The Guardian: ““She has never done anything like this in the past. It’s completely out of character for her to behave in this manner.
“We are extremely concerned. She would never have left her family with no contact for so long, so it’s my opinion that something has happened to my sister.”
The Lucie Blackman Trust said: “This disappearance, from her home in Charente, France, is completely out of character and there are serious concerns for her.”
