Search Efforts and Discovery
Rachel Booth was last seen on CCTV at Sandiway Garage, located on the A556 near Northwich, at approximately 3:50 am on Saturday. She was wearing black exercise clothing and trainers at the time. Her disappearance prompted a large-scale search operation, with officers scouring the area around Barnton, where she was last seen by her family.

A spokesperson for Cheshire Police stated that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the discovery, and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
