Razzell, now 64, was convicted of his wife’s murder in November 2003 but has never admitted his guilt.
He was previously refused release at a 2023 parole hearing under Helen’s Law, which makes it harder for killers to get parole if they do not say where their victim’s body is.
But The Sun Online can reveal Razzell, now 66, went before the parole board last week.
A decision on whether he should be released is expected soon.
Mrs Razzell, a 41-year-old mother-of-four from , was living in Highworth, , at the time she disappeared.
Her fiancé Greg Worrall was working at the local car factory when he was phoned to say she had not collected her children from .
Razzell and his wife were involved in divorce proceedings at the time of her disappearance.
The week before she went missing she had visited a local in Swindon with a court order which froze her husband’s accounts.
His trial heard he faced a financial settlement that he was not prepared to accept.
Wiltshire conducted searches for several weeks and urged anyone who might know what had happened to Mrs Razzell to come forward.
A Parole Board spokesperson told the Sun: “An oral hearing has been listed for the parole review of Glyn Razzell and is scheduled to take place in January 2026.
“Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.
“A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims.
“Members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the lead up to an oral hearing.
“Evidence from witnesses including probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements are then given at the hearing.
“The prisoner and witnesses are then questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more.
“Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.”
