Missing Runner Rachel Booth Last Seen at Cheshire Petrol Station: Police Launch Urgent Search

 

BREAKING: Urgent Search Underway for Missing Woman Last Seen at Cheshire Petrol Station in Workout Clothes

Authorities in Cheshire have launched a desperate search for a 38-year-old woman who vanished after being seen in activewear during the early hours of Saturday morning.

Rachel Booth was captured on CCTV around 3:50am on July 19, walking around Sandiway Garage in Northwich. She was dressed in black leggings, a black vest top, and trainers—appearing to have a phone strapped to her thigh, indicating she may have been out running.

Police have since expanded their investigation to include nearby natural areas, including a well-frequented beauty spot in Oakmere. As part of the search effort, the Wild Shore Delamere water park has suspended operations, though management has stressed their closure is unrelated to Rachel’s disappearance.

Rachel is described as 5ft 9in tall, slim, with blonde hair. Her disappearance has sparked widespread concern, with local businesses and residents sharing police appeals to help locate her. Among those raising awareness is Liz Almond Aesthetics, based at Beyond Beauty Group in Nantwich, who wrote, "This lady is a client of ours. Please share and help get her home safely."

Inspector James Wilson of Cheshire Police urged anyone with information to come forward, saying:
"We are carrying out numerous lines of inquiry to find Rachel and are becoming increasingly concerned for her well-being. If you’ve seen her since she was reported missing or have any information on her whereabouts, please contact us. We’re also asking Rachel directly—if you see this, please get in touch to let us know you’re safe."

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Cheshire Police on 101 or report via www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us, quoting reference IML-2136439.

Meanwhile, Wild Shore Delamere issued a statement confirming its temporary closure:
"Due to an active police investigation in the area, we will remain closed on Sunday, July 20. Although this matter is unrelated to our site, we want to support the effort in any way possible. Customers with bookings will be offered refunds or rescheduling options. We appreciate your understanding."

The investigation is ongoing.
