A woman who was reported missing in March has mysteriously reappeared in a London pub three months after she was last seen.

Portia Vincent-Kirby, from Finchley, vanished en route to Victoria Station after an evening with friends in Hyde Park on February 21.

She was then spotted out of the blue in the Blind Beggar pub in Whitechapel on May 14, but has not been seen since.

Her bank cards and passport have not been used since March 3, and her phone has also not pinged since this then.

Pictures from the pub show Portia smiling and wearing a faux fur cossack hat.

He told Metro: ‘It took two weeks after she was reported missing just for them to release a picture of her.

‘We have heard very little from them, it’s been left to us to find her. All we have been told is her bank cards haven’t been used – which isn’t good.’

In an updated statement from police last night, her mum, Janina, said: ‘We are all very worried as Portia is very vulnerable. Portia has not been in contact with or seen by any family or friends since February.

‘We appeal to the public for anyone to please come forward if they know anything about her or her whereabouts. We also appeal to Portia directly, please get in touch with any of your family or friends.’

PC Harjinder Kang, from the Met’s north west missing persons unit, added: ‘We are growing increasingly concerned for Portia’s safety, as this behaviour is out of character for her. We urge anyone who may have seen her to contact police.

‘Officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries in an effort to trace her and we are now turning to the public for help. Please get in touch if you can help us locate Portia.’
