Kent Police confirm a 38-year-old woman reported missing from Maidstone on 5 May 2026 has been located safe and well.
View tweet from @kent_police
A 38-year-old woman who went missing from Maidstone earlier this week has been found safe and well. Kent Police confirmed the positive outcome after launching a public appeal on Tuesday 5 May 2026.
The force thanked members of the public who shared their appeal and assisted with enquiries. No further details about the woman’s location or the circumstances surrounding her disappearance have been released.
Another success story for Kent Police’s missing persons procedures.
The force routinely uses social media to reach the widest possible audience when someone goes missing. Last year they handled 4,872 missing persons reports, with 98% resolved safely. Nationally, 97% of missing children cases in England and Wales are wrapped up within 24-48 hours, according to National Police Chiefs’ Council statistics from 2025.
This follows another positive outcome in Maidstone last month. A 12-year-old girl reported missing on 30 April 2026 was found safe on 1 May 2026.
Such swift resolutions highlight the importance of public cooperation in missing persons cases. But authorities stress that members of the public should share official appeals rather than approach individuals directly.
Kent Police’s Missing Persons Unit coordinates searches across the county. Officers assess each case individually before deciding whether to issue a public appeal. Social media platforms like Twitter allow appeals to reach thousands of people within minutes — and that rapid spread of information often proves crucial in locating missing individuals quickly.
Kent residents play a vital role in helping locate missing people by sharing official police appeals on social media. If you see a missing persons appeal from Kent Police, sharing it with your networks could help bring someone home safely. However, if you spot someone you believe matches a missing person description, contact police on 101 rather than approaching them directly – this protects both the individual’s welfare and your own safety.
