The 20-year-old was last seen at her home in Fernside, just north of Christchurch at around 11pm.

Police believe she may have been in the Ashley River area yesterday and they are asking anyone who saw her to come forward.

She is described as having long blonde hair, and could be wearing orange and black Nike shoes, and carrying a brown backpack with rope straps.
