A WOMAN, aged 21, has been found dead at a service station.
Police desperately appealed to find Willow Du Plooy last night - taking to social media asking anyone who spotted her to call 999.
She was last seen on Friday afternoon at around 5pm and reported missing to the force at 5pm yesterday.
In a tragic update this morning, Thames Valley Police has said her body was found at Cherwell Valley Services after a search.
The woman’s death is being treated as unexplained, but not suspicious.
A file will be prepared for the coroner.
Investigating officer Detective Inspector Krista Thompson, said: “Very sadly, following a search, we have located a woman’s body.
“Although formal identification has not taken place, we believe this to be Willow.
“Willow’s next of kin have been made aware and are being offered support by officers.
“I would like to thank all of those who shared our appeal, and my thoughts, and the thoughts of all of us at Thames Valley Police are with Willow’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time.”
