Avon and Somerset Police have issued an urgent public appeal for information regarding the disappearance of 38-year-old Sarah Mayhew, who was last seen in the early hours of Sunday morning in Bristol city centre.
The force has confirmed that finding Sarah is their absolute priority, with a significant number of officers dedicated to the search operation. Detectives are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare as time passes.
Timeline of Disappearance
Sarah was last spotted on CCTV footage near the waterfront area at approximately 1:15 am. She had been socialising with friends earlier in the evening and was expected to return to her home in the Bedminster area, but never arrived.
Police Investigation Underway
Investigators are conducting extensive enquiries, including:
- Reviewing hours of CCTV footage from the city centre
- Conducting house-to-house enquiries in the area
- Working with British Transport Police to check routes
- Following up on potential leads from the public
Police have emphasised that they are keeping an open mind about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and are exploring all possibilities.
Public Urged to Come Forward
Authorities are urging anyone who may have seen Sarah, or who has any information—no matter how insignificant it may seem—to contact them immediately. They are particularly interested in speaking to anyone who was in the Harbourside area during the early hours of Sunday morning.
Sarah is described as white, approximately 5'6" tall, with shoulder-length brown hair. She was last seen wearing a black dress and a light jacket.
