A HEAVILY pregnant woman has been reported missing and police have launched a public appeal to aid them in their search.

Natalie Jensen, who is 21 years old and from Beaminster, was reported missing just before 6pm on Wednesday, June 30. She did not return home as expected and had missed a number of appointments.

She is heavily pregnant and described as about five feet tall with long reddish-brown hair.

It is believed that she may be with a 29-year-old man and a white American bulldog.

Inspector Matt Chutter of Dorset Police, said: “There is information that Natalie could be either in the Somerset area or in Southampton, but we have been unable to confirm this.

“Officers have made a number of enquiries since she was reported missing, but have so far been unable to find her.

“We believe Natalie is in a vulnerable position and we need to find her to ensure she is safe and well.

“I am hoping that somebody may have seen Natalie over the last few days and may be able to help us establish where she may have gone.”
