A woman from Leatherhead in Surrey has been reported missing near Beachy Head on the Sussex Downs.

A public information appeal was launched as police reported that 42-year-old Natalie McCallum was reported missing near Beachy Head in Sussex after being dropped off there on Wednesday morning (January 20).

A spokesperson for Surrey Police who are working on the search said:

"Natalie was dropped off near Beachy Head in East Sussex at around 11.40am this morning (20 January) and hasn’t been seen since.

"We believe she may still be somewhere in this area."

Natalie was described by police as white, 5ft 8inch tall, of slim build with shoulder length dark brown straight hair.

"She was last seen wearing dark coloured leggings with a dark brown jacket, brown wide brimmed cowboy style hat and calf length dark coloured boots," the statement continued.

"We’re worried about her – particularly at this time of night when it’s cold and raining, and we want to get her home to her family safe and well," it read, posted online by Surrey Police around 10.36pm Wednesday night.

In a later update posted Thursday evening, a spokesperson for Surrey Police said they had found a body at Beachy Head thought to be Natalie.
