A 27-year-old traveler from the United Kingdom has been reported missing on the island of Koh Tao.
Lauren Hebden was last heard from on Dec. 22 when she was thought to be on the island of Koh Tao, according to reports from Missing Abroad and Missing People, two UK-based nonprofits.
“Lauren went travelling in September 2013 and kept in touch regularly via email and Skype,” reads the information from Missing Abroad. “However, stopped in September 2014, apart from one email in December 2014.”
According to the information, Hebden was last seen on Koh Tao but could have relocated since the time of her last contact.
The location of her disappearance is likely to be of particular interest. During the past six months an unusual number of foreigners have died on the island, including the brutal murder of two young British backpackers. A third Briton died last week, and although her death is yet to be determined, authorities were quick to rule out foul play.
Hebden is described as Caucasian, of medium build with blue eyes and brown hair, about 178 centimeters in height.
Anyone who might have seen Hebden or with information is urged to call the charity at +44 800-098-8485 or by email at operations@missingabroad.org.
