Hat found as desperate search for former Durham University student Sarah Everard continues

A hat has reportedly been found in the search for missing Sarah Everard.

A passer-by found the cream wool hat similar to the one Sarah was wearing when she went missing on Wednesday.

It was discovered at around 11am in a bush on Clapham Common - near where the marketing executive was last seen, Sky News reports.

Police are scouring the South London district for clues, inspecting ponds, a railway station and other places.

The Met earlier received a report that Sarah had been spotted at Clapham Junction train station, however officers failed to find her there, MyLondon reports.

A spokesman for the force said: “There was a report of a sighting at Clapham Junction station yesterday. Officers carried out a search of the area – but unfortunately Sarah wasn’t found.”

Sarah was last seen walking between Clapham Junction and Brixton in London at 9pm on Wednesday.

No-one has heard from her since she had a 15-minute call with her partner which ended at around 9.30pm.

Her loved ones insist she did not disappear deliberately.

Sarah studied in Durham and family say she has a large circle of friends in the city from her time at university, as well as in the capital.

Rose Woollard, one of Sarah's university pals, told MailOnline: "When my mum passed away she rang me every day.

"She's really caring, thoughtful and never has a bad word to say about anyone ever.

"It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. This has never happened before.

"I spoke to her earlier that day, she was fine. We talked about how boring our days have been. I think she was dealing with lockdown like we all are."

The teacher said she knew her friend had not 'taken herself off anywhere'.
