Susan Whiting, 20, was last seen yesterday having spent Sunday night at a friend's house on Heather Close in Dudley Fields, Walsall. She had left ahead of her mother collecting her at 8am as arranged.

When she didn't return to her home on Station Street by lunchtime her family called the police.

"Susan has a learning impairment and has never been missing before. She has been gone overnight which is very unusual…. We are very concerned for her wellbeing," said Detective Sergeant Paul Reeves from Bloxwich police station.

Susan, who attends the Hawbush centre at Walsall Adult and Community College, is described as white, 5'8" tall and of medium build. She has blue eyes and brown, shoulder-length hair. She wears glasses and speaks with a local accent.

At the time of her disappearance she is believed to have been wearing a grey hooded top, white t-shirt, black leggings and flowery pumps.

Susan or anyone who has seen her should call police immediately on 101.
