Body Found in Marshland During Search for Missing Bride-to-Be, 29, Who Disappeared Two Weeks Ago
A search for a missing 29-year-old bride-to-be has ended in tragedy after police discovered a body in marshland along the Lancashire coast, nearly two weeks after she vanished from her home.
Eren Wright, who was engaged to be married, disappeared from her home in Lytham, Lancashire, on Tuesday, October 27. Her disappearance prompted an extensive search, with police releasing CCTV images of her last known movements as officers appealed to the public for information.
The body was discovered by police search teams at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 13, in marshland along the coast between Lytham and Warton.
Although formal identification has yet to be completed, investigators believe the body is that of Eren. Her loved ones have been informed and are receiving support.
Police have confirmed that her death is not being treated as suspicious. A file will be passed to HM Coroner in due course.
Eren Wright Disappeared From Her Lancashire Home
Eren was first reported missing by her fiancé, Silas O’Carroll Pond, on the day she disappeared.
She was last known to have been at her home on St David’s Road South in Lytham St Annes before CCTV footage began helping investigators piece together her movements.
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on October 27, Eren was spotted on Clifton Drive South, near its junction with St Anne’s Road West.
Further CCTV enquiries suggested she travelled into Lytham town centre before boarding a bus to St Annes.
Police subsequently released footage showing the 29-year-old walking along a paved street. She was wearing a light olive-green hoodie, wide-leg trousers and carrying a black bag.
The images were shared as part of a public appeal to help establish where she had gone after leaving her home.
Police Traced Her Possible Movements Towards Fairhaven Lake
As officers continued investigating Eren’s disappearance, they began examining the possibility that she had travelled towards the Fairhaven Lake area, situated between Lytham and St Annes.
Based on the available CCTV information, police believed she may have reached the area at around 5:30 p.m. on the day she went missing.
Investigators had previously appealed for anyone who might have seen Eren or had information about her movements to come forward.
The discovery in the marshland between Lytham and Warton has now brought a devastating development to the search.
