The woman who saw her had later come across a social media post by the family sharing their concern about Ms Araujo. She contacted them to say she had seen the 26-year-old.

Ms Araujo, who works at a Travelodge in Ashford, also sparked concern among colleagues by not showing up for her job this week.
