UK UK - Catherine Johnston, 39, Belfast, 13 December 2016

[JerseyGirl]

Catherine Johnston, 39, went missing from the Belfast area on Tuesday and has not been seen since. Her Seat Leon car was found at Ballintoy Harbour, which was used as the fictional village of Lordsport on the Isle of Pyke in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones.

Ms Johnston is 5'9, average build and with light brown shoulder-length hair.

Any word on Catherine?

Three days of intensive searching have so far failed to find any trace of the 39-year-old.

The search operation is concentrated around the Dunseverick Castle and Carrick-a-rede areas.

A PSNI spokesman said last night that the search operation was ongoing.

“We have information that a Vauxhall estate car, possibly an Insignia or an Astra, was parked at Ballintoy on Tuesday afternoon.

"The car is described as being duck-egg blue in colour. A man, woman and three children were using the car and it is thought that the adults took photographs while they were there.

"I would ask these people to please contact police so that we can check the photographs and see if they can assist us with the investigation.

In a statement Sergeant David Armour said... “It is also thought that a white Transit van with a yellow taxi sign on the roof was parked in Ballintoy later that afternoon. Again I would ask the driver to please get in touch with police, quoting reference number 889 of 13/12/16. Thank you.”

Sounds like the area has a bit of a history of being a suicide spot judging by the Belfast Telegraph article, how sad.

Catherine sounds like a lovely person & one of those teachers who really make a difference, I hope she's found safe & well http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/mi...we-hope-that-no-one-gives-up-on-her-1-7737641

I see from articles about Catherine that she had been off work unwell prior to her disappearance - nothing to say if it was stress related or not.

Very sad, I hope she's found her family must be sick with worry. Especially if it's a known suicide spot.

PSNI North Coast posts regarding Catherine here and here and here

Am really struggling to find Catherine on SM, must be a Sunday afternoon brain-block :banghead:


ETA: Think I've found Catherine's profile but there's minimal content on it.

I fear a very sad situation here. How very sad for her children to be facing this at Christmas

A lot of teachers have minimal content available to view on their profiles. Looks very scenic though in the few pictures there are. Hoping for news soon

I did wonder if that might be the case - makes perfect sense too. Cheers MWI

Any further news?

Yesterday a family member said they did not wish to make any further comment on the search at this time.

Police have continued to appeal to the public for any information and have concentrated the search around Dunseverick Castle and Carrick-a-rede areas:

"We have information that a Vauxhall estate car, possibly an Insignia or an Astra, was parked at Ballintoy on Tuesday afternoon. The car is described as being duck-egg blue in colour. A man, woman and three children were using the car and it is thought that the adults took photographs while they were there. I would ask these people to please contact police so that we can check the photographs and see if they can assist us with the investigation.

It is also thought that a white Transit van with a yellow taxi sign on the roof was parked in Ballintoy later that afternoon. Again I would ask the driver to please get in touch with police, quoting reference number 889 of 13/12/16."

Could the family member possibly know something if they do not wish to appeal for help? Is there any more news on this case? I couldn't find an article releasing any new info, or if the family with the blue car or the transit van has been in contact. Hopefully they have seen the case in the news and thought to contact the police.

This is a newer article than what was last posted, but haven't found anything past this.

As her FB profile has been changed to "Remembering - Cat Anne Johnston" it would seem she was found deceased.

RIP Catherine.
