Body found in search for missing jogger Rachel Booth
A body has been found in the search for missing jogger Rachel Booth.
The mother was last seen walking into Sandiway Shell garage in the Northwich area of Cheshire at 3.50am on Saturday.
A Cheshire Constabulary spokesperson said on Monday: 'Following extensive appeals and searches in the area, officers have now sadly recovered a body in a lake in Oakmere.
'Whilst formal identification is yet to take place, it is believed to be that of Rachel. Her family have been made aware and are being supported by specialist officers. They have requested privacy at this time.
'There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and a file will be prepared for the coroner.'
Wild Shore Delamere, a local water park, had been shut down during the investigation.
Issac Carolan, 19, who works in the garage where Ms Booth was last seen, said one of his colleagues had served her in the early hours of the morning.
He said: 'She bought milk and wine and jogged from 45 minutes away. But it didn't seem weird, she didn't seem disturbed or flustered.'
On Monday morning, two underwater search units were seen arriving in the area, next to Wild Shore Delamere water park.
An incident command unit and a police dog vehicle were also at the scene.
Police remained in the area after the news that a body had been found was announced, with roads to the lake cordoned off.
