Officers investigating June Fox-Roberts murder appeal to locate missing phone and clothing 

Detectives investigating the murder of June Fox Roberts in November last year are appealing for help from the public. Officers from the Major Crime Investigation Team are trying to locate a missing iPhone which belonged to the victim. They are also trying to locate two items of clothing which they suspect have been discarded.

Mobile Phone:

The missing iPhone 11 is in a red flip case. The IMEI is 356809119984924 and the serial number is GONDC2KFM737. Officers believe the phone, which was not known to be damaged, may have been dropped, discarded or even sold to an unsuspecting buyer back in November – anyone who may have bought the phone should check the serial numbers.

Clothing:

Officers are also trying to locate the red hooded jumper with drawstrings in the hood and a black waist-length hooded jacket, which are both pictured. They believe this clothing may have been discarded somewhere between Llantwit Fardre and Pontypridd.

Detective Inspector Matt Powell, who is leading the investigation, said: “Specially trained officers continue to support June’s family during what is a very difficult time.

“We are very grateful for the public’s help and support to date and our investigation is continuing.

“Despite extensive searches we have not managed to locate these items. We believe they were probably discarded somewhere between Llantwit Fardre and Pontypridd. Farm workers, ramblers and also those living in villages between these two locations are asked to look out for them. Anybody who comes across them should to contact us without handling the items. This will ensure they can be recovered correctly by trained officers so that potential evidence is not lost,” he added.

Anybody who has information is urged to contact the Major Crime Incident Room on 029 20 571 530 or they can submit information via the public portal https://mipp.police.uk/operation/62SWP21B41-PO1

June Fox-Roberts was found, deceased, at her home in Llantwit Fardre on Sunday 21st November 2021. Luke Deeley, 25, from Pontypridd has been charged with her murder.
