Police are investigating a second report of an author missing in the English county of Hertfordshire.
A second children’s author has gone missing under 24 hours after Helen Bailey was reported as being missing from her home less than 20 miles away.
Natalya Shieff was last seen leaving the Fit4less gym on Hatfield’s high street at around 1pm on Sunday April 17th.
Detectives have launched a major investigation into the disappearances of both women and state that it is entirely out of character for both women to not inform family members of any trips or planned absences.
38 year old Natalya is described as being around 5′ 5″, slim with dark brown shoulder length hair. She was last seen wearing a baggy jacket, pink sports top, multi-coloured trainers, dark grey jogging bottoms and a red Arsenal FC woolly hat.
The disappearances have not been linked by police and are being treated currently as separate incidences; Helen Bailey’s Social Media account was briefly active after she went missing but nothing else has been seen or heard from her since.
If anyone has any information about either of the women they are asked to contact the police on 101.
