An urgent search is underway for an Australian backpacker who disappeared from a London hostel two weeks ago. Jessica Parkinson, 29, has not been heard from since sending a ‘cryptic’ text message to a colleague on December 11. She failed to turn up for a 4pm shift that day at barbecue restaurant Texas Joes. When managers messaged asking where she was, she promised to be ‘right there’ by 5pm but never showed. Restaurant owner Joe Walters said: ‘That was very out of character for her.
She didn’t show up but sent a cryptic message to another member of staff that evening.’ He told the Daily Mail Jess ‘didn’t mention missing work’ in the message. When she failed to show up for shifts last Thursday and Friday, Joe contacted her dad in Australia, who has called the police.
