A MISSING person's appeal has been launched after a Winchester woman vanished.

Michelle Bodman, 30, was last seen on Monday at about 6.45am, in the city.

Officers believe Michelle may be in the Bournemouth area and are keen to speak to anyone who knows where she is.

Sergeant John Stribley said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare and would welcome any information from members of the public.

“Equally we would urge Michelle to make contact with us herself, to let us know she's ok.”

She is about 5ft 4ins tall, of a heavy build and has long straight brown hair. She was last seen wearing a blue jumper with a blue and white blouse underneath, jogging bottoms and trainers.

Anyone with any information can contact North Walls Police Station in Winchester on 101.
