Fears mount for missing Hove receptionist

Fears mount for missing Hove receptionist Fears mount for missing Hove receptionist

Fears are mounting for a 26-year-old woman from Hove who hasn’t been seen since Tuesday morning (July 10).

Hairdressers' receptionist, Laura Chapman,was last spotted leaving a premises with a man in George William Mews, Portslade, at 11.31pm on Monday evening.

She is believed to know the man who left alone about 20 minutes later. However, police have not been able to contact him since.

Her family are very concerned that this is really out of character and have not been able to contact her on her mobile telephone as usual.

However, this may be due to problems currently being experienced on one of the telephone networks.

Laura is white, 5' 2", of petite build, with long blonde hair with brown lowlights and brown eyes.

Anyone who has seen her or has information about her whereabouts is asked to call Sussex Police on 101 quoting serial 918 of 11/07.

This two statements cannot both be true.....no wonder the Police cannot trace him he seems to be able to leave twice

if you actually check the sussex police media site it states

"Laura was seen leaving a premises in George William Mews, Portslade, at 11.31pm on Monday (9 July) evening. She was in the company of a man known to her who returned alone about 20 minutes later. However, police have not been able to contact him since."

so i think before you spurt your anti police posts the fault lies with The Argus

Generally speaking a disappointing or dull event or feature but in this context I imagine it is streaks of darker colour artificially created in the hair - the opposite of highlights in fact ;)

Of course this is true, Bodie77. But we are urged to look out for someone with brown lowlights, which is difficult if you don't know what lowlights are. Now I know, and so does anyone else who didn't dare to ask for fear of being chyacked about it.

This is serious. Why are you talking about Lowlights? Get a life

We weren't talking about lowlights. Someone asked what lowlights were and explained why.
