The family of a woman from Folkestone who has been missing for nine days has released an emotional appeal for help.
Leah Daley was last seen at The Warren, a coastal nature reserve, at around 7.00pm on Sunday 5 May.
Her family said "people don't just vanish" as they urged people to help them find the 24-year-old.
The family statement said: "Our youngest Leah went missing nine days ago on Sunday, May 5, and has not been found.
"For Leah not to have returned home without notifying the family, or any of her friends, is totally out of character.
"Since her disappearance we continue to work alongside the police but have had no significant updates.
"A lover and frequent walker of The Warren since childhood, Leah is familiar with the routes and surrounding areas.
"Extensive searches of sea and land have shown no trace of Leah.
"No additional information, sightings, CCTV or personal items have been recovered since the busy bank holiday Sunday - densely populated with campers, large groups, fishermen, and dog walkers, when she went missing."
