Concern growing as search for Rugby teen enters fifth week

Rugby Editorial 20th Apr, 2018   0

POLICE have renewed their appeal to find missing Rugby girl Iyesha Lynch as the search for her entered a fifth week.

Iyesha, 17, went missing from Rugby on March 21 wearing a short cream coloured jacket, black trainers with pink laces, and ripped blue jeans.

Officers are also trying to find Iyesha’s father, Mark Thompson, 45, also from Rugby. They believe he could help police find Iyesha.

Iyesha is 5ft 11in tall, slim, of mixed race, and with shoulder-length, dark brown, curly hair.




Mark Thompson is black, 6ft 1in tall, of medium build with cropped black hair.

Iyesha and Mark have links to Birmingham and Hounslow, London.


Detective Inspector Jon Belcher said: “It has been more than four weeks since Iyesha went missing and we are growing increasingly concerned.

“We had a positive sighting of her near to Priory Queensway in Birmingham on Friday 13 April. We continue to follow a number of significant lines of enquiry.

“We’re also keen to speak to Mark Thompson and we believe he might have information vital to our enquiries. We’re hoping the public will be able to help us to find him.”

Anyone who sees Iyesha or Mark, or has any information that could help police locate them, should call 101.
