Police reveal body found in hunt for missing Doncaster teacher Pam Johnson

Officers searching for the missing 63-year-old Doncaster woman Pam, who also goes by the name Shirley, say they have today (Monday 25 March) sadly found a body.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “While formal identification is yet to take place, officers believe it to be that of Pam. Her family have been informed and continue to be supported by officers at this time.

“We want to take this opportunity to thank the public who have been incredibly supportive in sharing our appeals about Pam’s disappearance, as well as handing out posters and carrying out their own searches.

“We also want to extend our thanks to partners including Doncaster Council, Mountain Rescue and Lowland Rescue, who have helped both spread the word and assisted with searches.

“Our thoughts are with Pam’s loved ones at this most difficult of times.”

Pam was last seen on March 14, having walked from a property in Winchester Avenue, Wheatley, where she was captured on CCTV.

She was later spotted on Thorne Road at around 7.29pm with no further sightings reported after that time.

Police have carried out a number of searches of local rivers, canals, lakes and woodlands, while friends and neighbours have distributed hundreds of posters and flyers and carried out searches of their own for Pam who worked at Wheatley’s Kingfisher Primary School.

Her upset family have also made a number of emotional appeals in the hunt for Pam since her disappearance.
