Woman missing in Asia
PA Hamilton The police fear for the safety of a Hamilton woman missing in India or Sri Lanka. Janine Angela Shortt, aged 22, failed to arrive in Australia on January 7 after telling her family she would arrive that day. Relatives waited at Melbourne’s Tullarmarine Airport and checked other flights from India, without success.
The woman’s family
and friends have not heard from her since.
The Hamilton police will send details to India for action by the police there.
The missing woman’s mother has already approached Indian police. The Hamilton police are checking on acquaintances and travelling companions in the hope of tracing Ms Shortt, who was in Hyderabad, India, when last heard from.
She apparently intended to leave Hyderabad to travel through Sri Lanka to Australia.
Senior-Sergeant Brian Walters, of Hamilton, said yesterday that the family hoped publicity about the case might turn up some clue to Ms Shortt’s whereabouts.
Senior-Sergeant Walters said he hoped any New Zealanders returning home who had met Ms Shortt would inform him.
