Fears for missing 19-year-old Amy in Spain: Teenager texted her friend 'I'm in the shit' before her phone died

Fears are growing for a missing 19-year-old girl in Spain.

Amy (pictured above) has not been seen since she disappeared on the island of Lanzarote on Wednesday 11 September.

In a social media post, her family said she sent a WhatsApp message to a friend abroad at 8 p.m.

She wrote in English: “I'm in s**t.”

After Amy sent the message, her phone stopped working. She sent the message from the Open Mall in Arrecife, her father Cris said.

Amy's family lives in Tenerife, but she works for her own boat maintenance company at the Lanzarote Marina in Arrecife, the island's capital.

Her family said she was a “very responsible” girl and her disappearance was out of character for her.

One online post said: “This is not normal for her family who are very worried and are travelling to Lanzarote to find her.”

Amy's father went to a Policia Nacional station in Tenerife on Thursday to file a missing person report about Amy's disappearance.

Anyone with information should call 644 388 744 or contact the Policia Nacional.
