2:50AM GMT 21 Mar 2011
|
||
|
||
Sian O'Callaghan, 22, left the Suju club in Swindon, Wiltshire, alone at about
|
||
2.50am on Saturday but has not made contact with any friends or relatives
|
||
since, causing police to become increasingly concerned.
|
||
|
||
Her phone was later used in Savernake Forest near Marlborough, 12 miles away.
|
||
Officers spent yesterday combing the forest for information on Miss
|
||
O'Callaghan's whereabouts, staying there until nightfall.
|
||
|
||
Miss O'Callaghan had been on a night out with girl friends at the Japanese-
|
||
themed club before she went missing. Her boyfriend Kevin Reape was not out
|
||
with them and is believed to have raised the alarm when she did not return
|
||
home.
|
||
|
||
Chief Inspector Mike Jones of Wiltshire Police said: ''For Sian not to return
|
||
home after a night out and not make any contact with friends or family is not
|
||
only unusual for her, but is something that she has never done before.
|
||
|
||
''Sian doesn't appear to have any reason in her personal life that would
|
||
indicate that she might want to leave the area and she is normally an avid
|
||
Facebook user, but has not used her account since earlier in the day on
|
||
Friday.

''Sian's family are extremely worried about her and we are offering them our
|
||
full support.''
|
||
|
||
Savernake Forest, where police have focused their search, is between
|
||
Marlborough and Hungerford and is privately owned by the Earl of Cardigan and
|
||
his family.
|
||
|
||
There is also an increased police presence in the town as the investigation
|
||
into Miss O'Callaghan's disappearance continues.
|
||
|
||
Chief Insp Jones urged anyone with information to come forward and made a
|
||
direct appeal to Miss O'Callaghan herself.
|
||
|
||
He said: ''It is very important that anyone who knows of Sian's whereabouts or
|
||
of any reason for her to stay away contacts us immediately.
|
||
|
||
''I would also like to take this opportunity to appeal directly to Sian and
|
||
ask her to make contact with her family or police to let us know that she is
|
||
okay.''
|
||
|
||
Miss O'Callaghan is described as being white, 5ft 3in tall, of medium build,
|
||
with brown hair cut in an asymmetric style and green eyes.
|
||
|
||
She was wearing a grey dress, black bolero-style jacket, dark tights and flat
|
||
boots when she was last seen, and was carrying a dark handbag with a beige
|
||
flower attached.
|
||
|
||
Concerned friends have set up Facebook groups and appealed for help on
|
||
Twitter.
|
||
|
||
Some left messages with one, Ty Johnson, writing: ''Have known Sian for a few
|
||
years now and her presence always put a smile on everyone's face.
|
||
|
||
''It's horrible to think that someone would actually take this precious loved
|
||
person away from the people who care about her! Hope you are found safe and
|
||
well Sian.''
|
||
|
||
Louise Winton wrote: ''Hope you are safe and well babe ... everyone is going
|
||
crazy without your beaming smile in their lives, you are an amazing person so
|
||
whatever is going on please stay strong and be positive.''
|
||
|
||
Wiltshire Police confirmed Miss O'Callaghan was assaulted in the toilets of
|
||
the same nightclub in October 2008, when another woman punched her.
|
||
|
||
A force spokeswoman added: ''We are aware of a previous assault but we are
|
||
very much focusing on the here and now. It is not a focus of the investigation
|
||
at the moment.''
|
||
|
||
Anyone with information can contact Wiltshire Police on 0845 408 7000 or
|
||
Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
