Police continue to appeal for help from the public to locate Christchurch woman Marni Sheppeard. The 53-year-old female was reported missing in January 2021. She was last heard from in Christchurch around 5.20am on Thursday 19 November 2020 when she posted on her Twitter account, a photo of herself with the title “off to the mountains”. Police enquiries have established that she has travelled by bus to the west of Christchurch before her last recorded bank transaction was made around 8.30am on 19 November 2020 at the Darfield Fruit and Vegetable Store. Ms Sheppeard has extensive mountain experience and has survived previous search and rescue operations.
