Missing GUNS N' ROSES Fan Found After Two Years

December 30, 2004

BBC News is reporting that a rock music fan who went missing two years ago while on a trip to Chicago for a concert has been found.

Kirsty Ormerod (photo),now 22, left her home in Newport in November 2002 and flew alone to the U.S. to see GUNS N' ROSES.

Her last known movement had been on November 20 when she withdrew a small amount of money from a cash machine.

Gwent Police said they have been told by American counterparts that Ms Ormerod has been traced and has married and settled there.

Detective Sergeant John Giles said: "There is no suggestion she is coming home and she does not want her location being given out.

"Her family has been informed and they are relieved she is safe and well. We are closing the file on it."

Over the past two years, Gwent Police had worked with American forces and the FBI's Missing Persons Bureau in an effort to find Ms Ormerod.

During appeals, her family, from Leeds, said she was a free spirit and had done her own thing in the past without telling them, but her disappearance had been out of character.

Members of GUNS N' ROSES had also issued a statement urging Kirsty to contact someone to say she was safe and well in the months following her disappearance.
