Police have renewed appeals for missing woman Rebecca Carr on the 20th anniversary of her disappearance.

Rebecca, who also used the surname Simmonds, has not been seen since her grandparents dropped her off near Gillingham railway station on Monday November 25 2002.

Then aged 22, and a mother to a three-year-old son, she had told her grandparents she was planning to meet with friends.

Her disappearance was said to have been out of character and has remained unsolved ever since.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil Kimber said: "We have remained in contact with Rebecca’s family over the years and they are understandably desperate to know what happened to her and if she is still alive.

"Whilst we have investigated reported sightings of Rebecca in the past, these unfortunately did not result in her being found. We do however remain committed to helping her family achieve closure and ask anyone with information about what happened to Rebecca or where she might be today to please come forward."

At the time of her disappearance Rebecca, who lived in Strood, was 5ft 8in, slim and with mousy brown curly hair.

Anyone with information is asked to visit the Missing People website or call/text them on 116000.
