Mystery of Missing Mum Rebecca Simmonds Haunts Kent for Over Two Decades
Vanished Near Gillingham Station
Rebecca, also known as Rebecca Simmonds, disappeared without a trace after her grandparents dropped her off near Gillingham railway station on Monday, 25 November 2002. She told them she was heading out to meet friends — but she never returned.
Aged 22 and Mother to a Toddler
At just 22 years old, Rebecca was a young mum to a three-year-old boy. Her sudden vanishing was totally out of character and the case remains unsolved to this day.
Police Plea for Answers
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Kimber of Kent Police said: “We have remained in contact with Rebecca’s family over the years and they are understandably desperate to know what happened to her and if she is still alive.
“While we have investigated reported sightings of Rebecca in the past, these unfortunately did not lead to her being found. We remain committed to helping her family achieve closure and ask anyone with information about what happened to Rebecca or where she might be today to please come forward.”
