ROSES PLEA TO FAN

Sunday Mirror, Feb 2, 2003

ROCK band Guns N' Roses have appealed to their fans to help trace a British girl who flew to one of their concerts in the United States...and vanished.

Kirsty Omerod, 20, jetted to Chicago in November to see Guns N' Roses but has not been heard of since.

Last night a spokesman for the band said: "Wherever you are Kirsty, please get in touch with someone to let them know that you are safe, and please come home soon. Everyone is really concerned."

Police in Kirsty's home town of Newport, South Wales, and in the United States have also appealed for information about her. "It's very worrying," said Detective Sergeant Mark Warrender of Gwent Police.

"She was only expected to be away a few days. We initially thought she may have been following the Guns N' Roses tour but that has now ended."
