What happened to Rosie Johnson?

A major search has begun for a 22-year-old woman who went
missing from a children’s holiday camp on the Isle of
Wight.

Rosie Johnson, from Glasgow, was last seen on Sunday evening at
PGL Little Canada in Wootton Bridge near Ryde, where she
works. 

Police say Johnson, a former University of Glasgow student, is
slim with mousey brown hair and was last seen wearing a dark blue
puffa jacket and trousers.

Hampshire Police have been searching along with teams from the
Coastguard, the National Police Air Service and
volunteers. 

They are understood to be focusing on the area of Firestone
Copse, a short distance from Little Canada.

Isle of Wight Radio reports that a mobile phone
belonging to Rosie was last “pinged” in an area just south of the
holiday camp.

Inspector Andy MacDonald, of Hampshire Constabulary, said in a
statement: “We have serious concerns for Rosie’s
welfare. Information suggests she is still on the island so
this is where we are focusing our search.

“It’s not the easiest of areas to search – we have a number of
water features, there’s wooded areas, there’s also open areas – so
in terms of geography it’s quite challenging,” he said.

The BBC reports that people living nearby “have been asked
to check sheds, boats and outbuildings for Johnson”.

A spokeswoman for PGL Travel said that Johnson “did not report
for work as planned on Monday morning”, adding: “We were unable to
establish their location and as a precaution informed the police
who are now co-ordinating a search. We are providing any support we
can to help with this.”

Daniel Johnson, a Member of the Scottish Parliament who is
Rosie’s uncle, today published a tweet containing a plea for
information regarding the case.
