Search for lacking girl, 21, who was ‘very upset’ earlier than vanishing in Weymouth

Police have issued an urgent appeal in the search for a missing 21-year-old woman named Codie.

Codie was last spotted in the Westhill Road area of Wyke Regis, Weymouth, at around 3pm on Friday, November 28. Dorset Police has reported that she was “very upset” when she departed from an address in that part of town.

The force described Codie as slim, standing at 5ft 8ins tall, with blonde hair styled in a messy bun. It was added that she was last seen donning a black coat with a fur hood, black and grey leggings, and carrying a black handbag.

Inspector Robin Morgan, of Dorset Police, expressed deep concern, stating: “Codie was very upset when she left the address and we are really concerned for her.

“We are carrying out numerous enquiries to try and locate her and I would urge anyone with any information regarding her whereabouts to please contact us immediately.”

He also made a direct plea to Codie, saying: “I would also like to make a plea directly to Codie if you read this – please make contact with us or your loved ones and let us know where you are, we all just want to ensure that you are all right.”

Anyone who has any information or knows of Codie’s whereabouts is urged to get in touch with Dorset Police online or by dialling 999, quoting incident number 28:280.

Meanwhile, the sudden disappearance of a beauty influencer has sparked concern after she sent a text to her mate about a ‘creep’ lurking outside her flat just before vanishing.

Stefanie Pieper, 31, has become the focus of an extensive cross-border police search in Europe following her failure to show up for a photoshoot on Monday. The influencer, boasting over 42,000 followers on Instagram, had been enjoying a Christmas do with a pal in Graz, Austria.

She sent a text early Sunday confirming she’d safely reached her flat via taxi. However, when she didn’t pick up her phone after missing the shoot on Monday, a worried photographer decided to check on her at her home – only to be met by her boyfriend, 31-year-old Peter M.

Growing increasingly anxious about her whereabouts, he rang the police shortly afterwards, who discovered her mobile in a nearby bush. Read the full story here.
