The family of Alethea Taylor, who was murdered by her husband in 2012, have renewed their appeal for information that will help them find her body.
Mrs Taylor was last seen in Orleton, Herefordshire, in January 2012. Her body has never been found.
Copyright: Family handoutHer husband, John Taylor, was handed a life sentence after being found guilty of murdering the former teacher but has never revealed what happened to her.
"I hope that one day, either he's told somebody what happened and they come forward or he actually just decides to say, 'OK, that's where she is'," Mrs Taylor's niece, Lorraine McKillop, said.
The family have taken part in a Channel 5 documentary, Countdown to Murder, in a bid to get the information they need.
"If anybody knows anything at all, it's easier just to come forward," Ms McKillop said.
"Whether it's right or wrong, police can follow it up, check it out, just so we can find her."

A family are raising money for a military home which cared for them when their father underwent his second liver transplant.
Matt Osborne, a retired army major, had his first transplant in 2007 after being diagnosed with rare Primary Sclerosis Cholangitis (PSC).
Twelve years later, he was put back on the list for another liver transplant at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, and his family, from Ross-on-Wye, were able to stay in Fisher House while he received his treatment.
Copyright: UHB"Fisher House meant that they had nothing to worry about in terms of expensive hotel bills, or long commutes from Herefordshire to Birmingham," said Mr Osborne, who now teaches business studies at Hereford Sixth Form College.
Together with wife Leanne, and children Oliver, 11, and Harriet, seven, they are set to cover the distance of Land’s End to John O’Groats, a distance of 1,000 miles, to raise money for the house, clocking up their miles on their daily walks, and by running, cycling and swimming
