At the time, she lived with her family and was said to have a boyfriend. Search efforts began, with authorities considering the possibility that Fox might have left the country.
The case, known as one of the longest-running missing person cases in England's history, has now taken a surprising turn. To solve the mystery and locate Fox, the police issued a new appeal, releasing a previously unseen photo of her on social media. Within hours of the photo's release, leads began to pour in. It was soon discovered that Sheila Fox was alive, residing in another part of England, and reportedly in good health.

'Every missing person has a story, and families deserve to know that story,' said the police. They expressed their satisfaction at resolving the case, even after so many years, emphasizing the importance of reuniting families with their loved ones.
Descriptions of her at the time included, 'The girl had light-colored hair tied with a pink ribbon and wore a blue floral frock, a green jacket, brown stockings, and black shoes.'
The man seen with her was described as being between 25 and 30 years old, 'long-faced, sharp-featured, clean-shaven, with dark hair, a pointed chin, and dressed in a dark black suit.' Despite extensive efforts, no trace of Fox had been found for decades. Her family, however, never gave up hope and kept believing that she was alive.
