What kind of life insurance did she have and who was the last person to be with her and see her alive? TIA
 
She was last seen getting off a bus in an area of Bristol (I'm guessing they mean she was travelling to somewhere rather than travelling home. But then they found her bus pass at home. So not sure if she did make it home and something happened.

Her family have created a website for her - she sounds like a fascinating woman to talk to:

It's the great nephew who has created the site and who has been talking to the media. No idea if there is closer family or not.
 
I hope she's found, that's so sad. Every video i tried to watch of her, on multiple places didn't work:tantrum:
 
03 May 2012 Concern grows for missing lady

A MISSING 96-year-old Brighton lady could have travelled to Eastbourne on the bus.

Police say there is increasing concern for Nellie Herriott, who lives on her own in central Brighton.

Nellie was seen leaving the cafe at the BHS store in Churchill Square, Brighton, at about 2.25pm on April 23 and someone who knows her has now come forward to say they saw her on a bus in London Road, Brighton, going towards the city centre, at about 12.30pm on April 24.

She is described as white, thin, 4ft 9in tall, with short curly hair.

She was wearing a blue coat, a black hat with pale coloured trousers and shoes and was carrying a beige coloured handbag. It is not known whether she had any money. Her bus pass has now been found in her flat.

The two new images are from BHS shop CCTV, showing Nellie in the BHS cafe on April 21, two days before she was last seen but they do show the clothing she was wearing when last seen.

During the First World War, Nellie and her older sister were sent to an orphanage run by nuns. They experienced an unkind and brutal regime. Consequently Nellie resisted ever being institutionalised again, right up to the day of her disappearance. Could Nellie have simply feared being institutionalised again and taken a walk somewhere quiet as she had the early onset of Alzheimer's and may have feared the possibility of moving to a nursing home.

One theory someone put forward is that Nellie could have been a victim of an RTA incident. The person may have panicked and buried Nellie near to her home. This is a map of the area near where she lived. There is also the Brighton racecourse.

It is really sad that she was never found or that no-one ever came forward if her disappearance was not intentional.
