Heard LBC presenter yesterday wondering why this was not getting more media coverage. Someone suggested that she does not fit the 'perfect' victim stereotype and so the media is not interested.

I certainly don't get a sense of urgency to the investigations into her whereabouts.

BBC news is saying "she is in good health and doesn't appear to be vulnerable" 🙄
Is that implying she was not an urgent case?!

Yeah, I picked up on that too. I think there’s a lot going on that we’re just not privy to tbh.

Might be just that she was choosing not to be found. Whatever, it’s just fab news!

So glad she has been found safe, a huge relief!

It's very sad and infuriating that's Owami is not getting the coverage that some other women have.
On Saturday morning an elderly family friend went missing and I put up posts on my local Facebook groups. Luckily he was found on a bench on the Sunday morning because someone recognised him from the shared pics.

With her being on the news now and posts being up why has no one approached her or call the number and say "hey I think ive seen Owami!" (I'm assuming they haven't).

Also why would they arrest men on suspicion of murder?!

I pray that she is ok

They said they had calls about 118 reported sightings...

@Midlifemusings - ahhhh I definitely didn't hear that. I stand corrected 🤦🏽‍♀️

Some other news outlets did post more personal information which implied Ms Davies could have been having a mental health crisis.

Whole thing is very odd. Thankfully she has been located. Wonder what happens to those who were arrested in connection with her disappearance.
