Who is Amelia Bambridge? Brit backpacker who went missing in Cambodia
AMELIA Bambridge disappeared while on a gap year on the island of Koh Rong in Cambodia, it was her first time travelling alone.
A rucksack thought to belong to Amelia has been found near to the site of a beach party she attended on the night of her disappearance. Here’s everything we know.
Who is Amelia Bambridge?
Amelia Bambridge is a 21-year-old missing gap year student from Worthing, West Sussex.
Amelia left the UK last month after completing an apprenticeship.
It is her first time travelling on her own.
When did she go missing?
Amelia was last seen at a beach party in Koh Rong, in the south west of Cambodia, at 3am on Wednesday, October 23.
The 21-year-old was due to check out of her hostel at noon yesterday to leave and planned to leave the island later in the afternoon with a friend.
But the friend alerted authorities when Amelia never returned to pick up her passport from the hostel, and several people said she may be missing.
She has been declared officially missing by local authorities.
What’s the latest on her disappearance?
Amelia’s mum joined the search to find her daughter who disappeared in Cambodia.
Linda Bambridge, 52, is hoping Amelia, 21, got “lost on her way back” to her hostel through dense forest in the Far Eastern country.
The journey back to the hostel was a 40 minute jaunt through thick forest with no lights.
Police, scuba divers, government officials and volunteers also joined the search for the missing Brit.
Four days after Amelia’s disappearance, cops found her purple rucksack on rocks near to the beach party.
It contained all her possessions apart from her passport, including her phone and bank cards.
