Police have found a body in the search for missing 21-year-old June who vanished over a week ago and was last seen at around 8.35pm in Bournemouth, Dorset
A body has been found in the search for a missing 21-year-old woman who was last seen at a popular UK seaside resort more than a week ago. June vanished while in Bournemouth, Dorset, and was last seen at around 8.35pm on Wednesday April 30.
Cops launched a search for the 21-year-old, who was wearing a blue hooded jumper with a red and white skirt the day she vanished, after worries about her safety and whereabouts were raised. Police had described her disappearance as "out of character". Cops confirmed a body was tragically found around 11pm on Wednesday night in the area of Turbary Common.

Police have not formally identified the body yet but it is believed to be June and her family has been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious and Dorset Police has notified HM Coroner.
Chief Inspector Darren Moores, of Dorset Police, said: "Our thoughts are very much with the family and loved ones of June at this extremely difficult time.
"I would like to thank all those involved in the search efforts to locate her, including volunteers from Dorset Search and Rescue (DorSAR). There will still be an increased police presence in the area as police activities continue."
June was described as five feet two inches tall and slim in a desperate appeal police previously launched to find the 21-year-old.
