Kentish Town (North London News) July 23, 2026 – Police have launched an urgent appeal to find Fatumata, 27, after she was reported missing from Kentish Town and described as non-verbal, raising concern that she may be unable to communicate if she needs help.

What happened when Fatumata was last seen?

Officers said Fatumata was last seen at her home close to Kentish Town rail station at about 9:10pm on Monday, 20 July. She was believed to be wearing a pink dress, and police said she could also have been wearing a knee-length light brown overcoat.

The appeal is focused on identifying any sightings of her after that point and establishing where she may have travelled.

What have police said about the search?

Detective Inspector Marc Robinson, who is leading the investigation, said police are “growing increasingly concerned” for Fatumata’s welfare and are carrying out multiple enquiries to locate her.

He said officers are releasing an image of what she was last seen wearing and urged the public to look at the picture and call police immediately if they recognise her. Police also said they are reviewing hours of CCTV from the area as part of the search.

Could Fatumata have left the area?

Police said there is a possibility that Fatumata may have used the train or bus network to travel elsewhere in London.

That means the search is not limited to Kentish Town, and officers are asking the public to stay alert across the capital. The appeal suggests that sightings in transport hubs, on platforms or on buses could be especially important.

What should the public do if they see her?

Anyone who sees Fatumata or has information that could help officers is asked to call 999 straight away. Police have given the reference CAD 8588/20JUL26 for anyone reporting relevant information.

The Metropolitan Police appeal is being circulated widely so that the public can help narrow down her movements after she disappeared.

Background to the case

Missing-person appeals in London are often shared quickly when there are concerns about a person’s ability to communicate or keep themselves safe.

In this case, police highlighted that Fatumata is non-verbal, which increases concern about whether she can ask for help or explain where she is.

The release of clothing details and an image is a standard step in such searches because it can help witnesses identify a person more easily.

What could this mean for North London residents?

For people in Kentish Town and the wider North London area, the main impact is a heightened need to stay alert to recent sightings, especially near rail stations, bus routes and busy streets.

Residents, shop workers and commuters could help police by checking whether they saw someone matching the description late on Monday evening or since then.

The case may also prompt renewed attention to how quickly missing-person information is shared across local networks when someone is considered vulnerable.
