Hair and beauty worker Lucy Stemp, 28, who was also described as vulnerable, vanished after she travelled to France for a music festival and has not been heard from in a week
A little girl has been left desperately waiting for her mum after a British tourist vanished in Paris.
Lucy Stemp, from Tonbridge, Kent, was reported as missing after travelling to France for a music festival. The hair and beauty worker is the mum of a young daughter, Gracie Anne, who is waiting for her to come home.
The pair share a strong bond, with Lucy, 28, previously describing her daughter as the reason she keeps going. Pals and family raised the alarm and launched urgent appeals for information as concern grows over the missing woman.
Lucy is believed to have travelled to France for a festival in Brest before later heading to Paris. Her last known location was the Bercy district of the French capital.
She is believed to have gone missing on May 30. Just weeks before her disappearance, Lucy proudly shared news of her daughter’s latest swimming achievement.
On April 19, she posted: “My beautiful princess, level 3 with her swimming. So proud of you my Gracie Anne.” Loved ones are now urging anyone who may have seen Lucy or spoken to her to come forward.
One social media user wrote: “This is Lucy Stemp. She’s a young woman from Kent who is missing in Paris. No one has heard from her in over a week and she has a little girl who needs her Mummy. Please share, her family are distraught.”
Lucy’s stepfather Sean said: “Lucy is my stepdaughter and is very vulnerable, she has been missing for over a week now.” Family members fear Lucy may not have access to the help she needs to return home.
Efforts to trace her are ongoing, with reports that the British Embassy and Interpol are assisting in the search. Paul Arnott, who helps locate missing Britons overseas, said: “Lucy Stemp, from Tonbridge, Kent, has been missing in France for approximately one week and her family are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.
“Lucy had travelled to France for a music festival in the city of Brest and is believed to have subsequently been in Paris. No one has heard from her for the past week.
“Lucy is considered vulnerable and efforts to locate her are ongoing. The British Embassy, police authorities and Interpol are involved in the search.
“If you know Lucy, have spoken to her, seen her, or have any information that could help establish her whereabouts, please come forward as soon as possible.”
