Police are desperately searching for Jessica Parkinson, a 29-year-old Australian waitress who disappeared from a hostel in south London two weeks ago. She sent several 'out of character' messages to friends when they inquired about her whereabouts, but hasn't been seen since.
Police have launched a desperate search for an Australian waitress who vanished from a south London backpacking hostel two weeks ago - before sending friends a series of ‘out of character’ text messages when they asked where she was. Jessica Parkinson, 29, was first reported missing by her father on Sunday December 8th after failing to make contact with relatives on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
Three days later, she failed to turn up for a 4pm shift at Texas Joes, the barbecue restaurant where she has worked for the last year. When managers texted to ask where she was, she claimed to have got her start time wrong - and promised to be ‘right there’ by 5pm. But she failed to show up as promised - and hasn’t been heard from since sending another colleague a ‘cryptic’ message later that evening. She was reported missing for a second time last Friday after missing three shifts in a row. Restaurant owner Joe Walters told MailOnline: ‘Jess was meant to work on Wednesday, and she was supposed to start at 4. ‘At around that time our manager sent a message asking where she was, and she responded that she thought she was in at 5 and she would be right there. That was very out of character for her.
