Missing Cornwall Woman Found Safe After Frantic Search
A 49-year-old woman from Cornwall who sparked a high-risk missing persons hunt has been found safe, her family confirmed today.
Last Seen at Truro Station
Claire Bennett, from St Austell, vanished on the afternoon of August 11. CCTV caught her at Truro railway station, where she was last spotted wearing a white vest top with red and burgundy stripes, blue cotton shorts, and standing approximately 5ft 8in tall. The reason for her travel from St Austell to Truro remains unclear.
Her sudden disappearance worried loved ones, with daughter Lauren launching a heartfelt public appeal describing it as “completely out of character.”
Family Requests Privacy Following Relief
Tonight, Lauren took to Facebook to share the great news:
“Mum has been found safe. Could I please ask as a family you respect our privacy at this time. Thank you all once again.”
Devon and Cornwall Police have yet to announce whether the official missing persons alert has been lifted.
