The last known sighting is a photograph of Charlene taken at a property in Broadway, Adamsdown.
Her hair was in a bun, and she was wearing a dark strapless top.
But cops investigating her disappearance have received new information suggesting she may have been seen in the Adamsdown and Coryton areas.
South Wales Police say Charlene was spotted at these locations with unknown people, according to witnesses.
Police investigating the disappearance of Cardiff woman Charlene Hobbs have received new information of potential sightings in Adamsdown and Coryton.
Members of the public have contacted South Wales Police believing they have seen Charlene at these locations with currently unknown people.
Detectives are appealing for these unknown people, who are potential witnesses, to please come forward.
The first potential sighting was at around 11.20am on July 29.
Charlene was reportedly seen on the railway bridge, known locally as the Black Bridge.
Witnesses claimed the mum may have been wearing a blue jacket.
She was seen walking in a single file with two men, one of which was described as white, aged in his 30s or 40s, and of average height.
The other man was donning a black face covering and was also of average height.
Nearly four months after Charlene vanished, members of the public said they saw her at an Asda in Coryton, Cardiff.
The 36-year-old was allegedly spotted at around 5.30pm on November 1.
She was at the front of the store by the security desk with a young boy who looked around four-years-old.
Another woman, around 40, with short burgundy dyed hair, approached Charlene and all three left the supermarket.
Cops have since arrested a 45-year-old man in connection with the investigation.
He remains on police bail.
South Wales Police are still treating Charlene’s disappearance as murder.
Crimestoppers charity continues to offer a reward of up to £20,000 for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell, from South Wales Police, said: “As a result of enquiries we have received information of two possible sightings of Charlene.
“We would appeal to anyone with further information on these two sightings in Adamsdown and Coryton to please come forward.
“In particular, we are urging the two men on the railway bridge and the woman with the dyed burgundy hair in Asda to come forward.
“Despite a huge number of enquiries, we still have no proof that Charlene is alive, but we remain determined to find Charlene alive and return her to her family.
“Charlene’s family continue to be updated, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.”
