Rachel Kerr, a 31-year-old British travel influencer, was reported missing in Morocco after checking out of her hotel on April 25. She was last seen leaving the SMART Nightclub in Agadir around 5am, and following her departure, her phone was turned off, leading to concerns for her safety.
Her family expressed extreme concern for her welfare as they could not reach her. Claire Hill, Rachel’s cousin, took to Facebook to appeal for information regarding her whereabouts, stating, “My cousin Rachel Kerr, 31, is missing in Agadir, Morocco.” This post garnered significant attention as friends and followers shared it widely.
Fortunately, the situation took a positive turn when it was confirmed that Rachel has been found safe and is currently in the care of her family. Claire Hill later updated on social media, saying, “Rachel has now been traced and is safe in the care of family. Thank you to those who provided information and support.” Peter Kerr also expressed gratitude towards those who assisted in spreading the word.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is reportedly supporting Rachel’s family during this time. While the exact circumstances surrounding Rachel’s disappearance remain unclear—officials have not disclosed specific details—her safe return has brought relief to many who were concerned.
Rachel had been in Morocco for a work trip and had been staying at the Caribbean Village hotel prior to her disappearance. Observers note that incidents involving tourists can raise significant alarm among families and local authorities alike.
