Family of missing woman hope raid on UK-based sect will bring answers
The family of Lisa Wiese, who went missing seven years ago, is hopeful that a recent police raid on the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light may provide answers. Wiese disappeared during a trip to India, and her family has been seeking information about her whereabouts since then. The police investigation has led to multiple arrests related to serious offenses, although it is not directly linked to Wiese's case.
- ▪Lisa Wiese was last heard from in March 2019 when she sent an email from India before disappearing.
- ▪A police raid in April resulted in the arrest of twelve individuals connected to the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light.
- ▪Wiese's ex-husband is urging UK police to expand their investigation to include her disappearance.
