Body Found In Hunt For Missing Hampshire Teenager

Police investigating the disappearance of Hampshire teenager Rosemary Edwards have found a body in the New Forest.

Walkers near Bartley found the body of a young woman on Sunday. The body has yet to be identified. Police said that early indications suggested that the death was not suspicious.

Results of a post-mortem carried out on the body are due on Monday evening.

Rosemary, 15, has been missing from her home in Dibden Purlieu since September 4. Police said that she had left after a family argument.

On Friday, Southampton-based CCTV company Tecton, where Rosemary's father David works, offered a £100,000 reward for information leading to her safe return.
