Body found in search for missing 22-year-old

Police investigating the disappearance of a 22-year-old have today (3 November) found the body of a woman outside a property.

Melanie Wilson has been missing since 19 October and, while formal identification is yet to take place, Melanie's family have been informed of the development.

The discovery comes on the second day of searches by a group of volunteers desperate to find the young woman from Sutton-in-Ashfield.

A group of 30 people came out in search of Melanie - yesterday (2 November) on grassland and wasteland and today (3 November) in built up areas and local streets.

It was revealed that Melanie had sent her dad a text message saying, "I love you" just 20 minutes before she was last seen near her home just over two weeks ago.
