Just a few hours after the police issued the appeal they confirmed that the missing teenager was found on Wednesday, March 17, night. "Annabella Mcerlean has been found safe & well. A big thank you to everyone who shared our appeal," the force said.

The news comes a few days after Sarah Everard's case shocked the world. The disappearance and death of Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive from South London, and the arrest of a police officer accused of murdering her has sparked a national outcry in the United Kingdom over violence against women.

The police discovered her body in a wooded area of Ashford town in Kent on March 10, 2021 and on March 12 confirmed, through the use of dental records, that the body belonged to Everard. On March 12, 48-year-old police constable, Wayne Couzens, was charged with Everard’s kidnapping and murder after authorization from the Crown Prosecution Service. After appearing before a magistrate’s court on Saturday (March 13), Couzens has been remanded in custody and will be brought before the Central Criminal Court (also called Old Bailey) on Tuesday (March 16).
