In a troubling development that has gripped the local community, specialist search teams with cadaver dogs have been deployed across Northamptonshire in the desperate hunt for two young women who vanished over a week ago.
The Missing Women
Phoebe Bishop, aged 22, was last seen in Wellingborough on Thursday, September 12th, while Dezi Freeman, 19, disappeared from the same area the following day. Their simultaneous disappearance has raised significant concerns among police and family members.
Intensified Search Operation
Northamptonshire Police have dramatically escalated their efforts, bringing in highly trained cadaver dogs capable of detecting human remains. These specialist animals are combing rural areas around Wellingborough, including fields, woodland, and waterways.
A police spokesperson stated: "The use of cadaver dogs represents a significant development in our search strategy. We're pursuing all possible avenues to locate Phoebe and Dezi and ensure their safe return."
Community Concerns Grow
Local residents have expressed mounting worry as the search enters its second week. The unusual circumstances of both women disappearing within 24 hours of each other has prompted widespread speculation and concern throughout the community.
Appeal for Information
Authorities are urgently appealing to the public for any information that might assist the investigation. Police are particularly interested in:
- Any sightings of Phoebe or Dezi since September 12th
- Information about their movements or planned meetings
- Dashcam footage from the Wellingborough area
- Any unusual activity witnessed in rural locations
Detectives emphasise that no piece of information is too small and encourage anyone with potential leads to come forward immediately.
