Some more details about Judy Bloomer, who – alongside her husband of five decades – went missing from Bayesian earlier this week.

Bloomer was educated at Homerton College, University of Cambridge, where she studied English language and literature. After that, she embarked on a career as a teacher.

She later worked as a psychotherapist for nearly 30 years, specialising in anxiety and stress.

She was also a former director of property developer Change Real Estate, a property firm in Bristol, which was founded by her husband, Jonathan Bloomer.

Sally Bailey, a former chairwoman of charity Pilot Light, wrote that Judy was a “wonderful friend” to the gynaecological cancer research charity the Eve Appeal. She was a “kind and caring person,” she added.

In a statement from the Bloomer family, they described the couple as “incredible people and an inspiration to many”.

“Our only comfort is that they are still together now.”
