More than seven weeks after going missing, student nurse Owami Davies was located in Hampshire, according to the Metropolitan Police, who made the announcement after Scotland Yard said they had received reports of 118 sightings.
Miss Davies, 24, was last seen on July 7 heading north down London Road in Croydon. Three days earlier, she had left her mother’s house in Grays, Essex, saying she was going to the gym.
She was discovered on July 6 while waiting for a companion in Clarendon Road, Croydon, dozing in a doorway. She assured the Metropolitan Police officers that she did not need their assistance and walked away.
Miss Davies’ family had reported her missing, but the police database hadn’t yet listed her as missing at the time.
Detectives said yesterday that the student nurse may be sleeping on the streets since she has no bank cards or phone service and no money on her Oyster card. The Met said that this was one working theory and added that police were maintaining an open mind to all scenarios.
Officers searched through roughly 120 reports of sightings of Miss Davies, 24, and were having trouble finding her despite the arrests of five persons and several requests for information. She was located as a result of the 118th complaint, which was submitted at 10:30 this morning in response to a public media appeal.
The police’s Specialist Crime Command’s Detective Chief Inspector Nigel Penney said today: “This is obviously the conclusion we were expecting for the discovery of the missing woman, Owami Davies.

Student nurse Owami Davies, found ‘safe and well’ in Hampshire

The Met Police confirmed officers spoke to Miss Davies in Croydon two days after she went missing on July 6,


Owami Davies, a missing 24-year-old student nurse, was discovered in Hampshire in good health.
“I’d like to announce she’s been discovered safe and sound outside the London region in the county of Hampshire and she’s presently with specialized police from my team,” the statement said.
She seems to be in excellent condition, is secure, and is not now in the vulnerable situation that we were lead to think she was in at the beginning of her abduction, he said.
The inquiry will now be examined in its entirety, according to Met Commander Paul Brogden, to see if there are any lessons to be learned from how it was handled.
Mr. Penney and Mr. Brogden both expressed their ‘ecstasy’ at the case’s conclusion, and the Met Commander said, “More significantly, I’m glad for Owami’s mother and her brother.”
