A body has been found during a search for a missing woman from Folkestone.

The discovery was made in undergrowth at The Warren in Folkestone on the afternoon of Friday 17 May 2024.

While formal identification has not yet taken place, the family of a 24-year-old woman who was reported missing from the town has been informed.

Over seven thousand people joined a Facebook group set up to try and find Leah Daley.

She was wearing a dark coloured ‘Parka’ style coat, patterned leggings, 'Converse' style trainers and carrying a black sports backpack, with her hair pinned up in a bun.

The 24-year-old is described as being around five feet and four inches tall, with brown shoulder-length hair and blue eyes.

Police had been searching the east of the town and The Warren area since the Bank Holiday weekend.
