CCTV footage shows last known images of missing student nurse – The Guardian

Police are appealing for information from anyone who saw Owami Davies, who was last seen in West Croydon at 12.30pm on 7 July
New CCTV footage showing the last known images of a student nurse who went missing last month has been released by police.
Owami Davies was last seen about 12.30pm on Derby Road in West Croydon, south London, on 7 July.
The images show the 24-year-old, who lives in Grays, Essex, in a dark jacket, distinctive red Adidas T-shirt, light grey joggers, slider type shoes and carrying a white handbag over her shoulder.
The CCTV was taken at about 12.30pm when she is walking north on London Road away from West Croydon and towards the Norbury area.
The Metropolitan police said the student nurse had left her family home on 4 July.
DCI Nigel Penney, who is leading the investigation, said: “I would ask members of the public who were in this area, or nearby roads, to think back and call us if they remember seeing Owami and please do not underestimate how important your call could be.”
Ch Supt Dave Stringer, south area commander, said: “I can assure our community that all we can do to find Owami is being done.
“We are working closely with our colleagues in specialist crime, who are used to dealing with large, complex investigations, and we are providing them all the assistance we can in this extensive inquiry.
“Everyone, I am sure, is hoping that Owami is safe and well and this nightmare for her friends and family will finally end.”
Five people have been arrested during the course of the investigation for offences of suspected murder or kidnap.
All have since been released on bail, while the investigation team follow up on further inquiries.
Investigators have previously appealed for the driver of a white van that was parked in Derby Road when Davies was last seen to come forward.
Davies and a man, whose identity has not been disclosed, crossed the road just as the van pulled out.
Police said anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8721 4622. Information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org
