Don't know about anyone else, but I am getting a whole new perspective from this latest report as above. Maybe she didn't disappear voluntarily...?

ITA my thoughts jumped there too. Ugh.

When I read "struggling with mental health issues" I wondered if she had been treated for those, or was she actually just completely stressed out?

I don't know what to make of the argument with the police being called. It must have been quite explosive. Then packing up and leaving the next day? I figure she had a place, or someone, she was headed to, and hope it wasn't to someone evil who wanted to "help" her.
 
One year ago today, Denise Jarvis went missing.
Denise was 43 when she disappeared from #Bristol, #Gloucestershire, on 3 August 2022.

Our thoughts are with Denise and her loved ones today.

To help #findDeniseJarvis, please share her appeal and report any sightings to us.

I can't believe I've never heard of her case before, and I'm from the UK and try to keep up with missing people.

Can't see her mentioned on any top / popular stories for the anniversary on the Beeb (app) so far, either. I'll go check out their website to double check (nothing as of 4pm - last article is from April).

Snipped - don't know if it's just me, but I see a weird discrepancy where the unfurled Missing People link in your post says she disappeared on the 5th Feb, 2023, while her page does in fact have the correct date of 3rd August. Maybe something in either MP's or WS's coding is causing it?

I don’t think that’s anything personally, just Missing People the charity maybe getting confused between 6 months and a year. Denise’s disappearance hasn’t generated the media coverage I would have hoped. I also think it’s poor there is no anniversary appeal from Avon and Somerset police. If there is any way Sceawian for to watch I think it was the last vanished show on channel 5 a few months back, Denise was featured and there was a proper reconstruction done on Denise. There was things said on that show that didn’t make any newspaper coverage and lead me to think maybe Denise’s disappearance perhaps could be more sinister.
 


The family of a woman who went missing a year ago say police could have done more in the days after she disappeared.

Denise Jarvis, 44, was last seen near Southey Park in Kingswood, Bristol, exactly a year ago, on 3 August 2022.
Her sister Rachel Graham said three months passed before Avon and Somerset Police started to "worry".
Det Insp Ben Lavender, from the force, said with hindsight things could have been done differently.
The officer said while resources were deployed according to the risks at the time and it was not until time went on the "risk heightened", CCTV footage in the days and months after her disappearance could have helped the investigation.
He said any learning from the investigation would be fed back into the police force.
 

Senior Investigating Officer Det Chief Insp Ben Lavender said: “We know how devastating this continues to be for Denise’s loved ones and our thoughts remain very much with them.

“We want to use this first anniversary as a reminder that we’re still appealing for information from the public. People have annual routines and events they may attend, so we’d ask them to think back to the same time last year to see if that jogs their memories.

“Every piece of information is important in our efforts to find out what happened to Denise.

“Our investigation will be subject to regular reviews and we’re ready to respond to any new lines of enquiry which come in.”
 

More from the DM here. Pictures of two of her rucksack style bags (stated is that she took five bags) that police found and have pictured today, but have not said where the two bags were recovered from.
Police admit that they could have done things differently.

The mother of a missing woman has spoken of the heartbreak of her disappearance on the eve of Christmas - as her family pine for her to “just come home”. Denise Jarvis from Kingswood, left her family home and was last seen on the evening of August 3, 2022 in the area of Southey Park.

[...]

For more than a year, Denise’s family have waited for any update on their daughter. Any clues, any possible sightings and theories where she could be are discussed, but the hope remains that she is found.

Her mother Bernadette Lake recalled how sudden her disappearance was, and how at the time she was settling down in her new life following her separation from her husband. “She has still got her new life in our attic”, Bernadette said.

“Her clothes, shoes, handbags, hats and other bits - she was a very stylish girl. She couldn’t leave those bits behind and I can’t see her without it.

“Maybe she’s gone off and had a new life. But we want to know she’s safe and in a good place. That’s all you want for your child as a parent as at the end day, it’s her life but we’re worrying that she’s not safe.

"That worries you as you wonder where they have gone and not been found.”

The theories on Denise’s whereabouts range from whether or not she is still in the country or moved abroad. Missing People has supported the investigation by recently renewing their appeal, while Bernadette ponders whether Denise may have fled for a new life in Europe or as far as Thailand.

Her state of mind at the time of her disappearance was also questioned by Bernadette. She recalled how Denise was struggling with her mental health and had fought to get her specialist support, but she was unable to receive treatment.
