POLICE investigating the disappearance of 22-year-old Brooke Morris say they have today found the body of a woman in the River Taff.

Rugby player Brooke was last seen after being given a lift home by pals in the early hours of Saturday.

Cops and Brooke's teammates from Nelson RFC Belles had been searching waterways and woods near her home in Trelewis, South Wales.

Police today said a body had been found.

A spokesman for South Wales Police said: "Police officers carrying out searches of rivers and waterways sadly located the body of a woman in a stretch of the River Taff.

"Formal identification has not yet taken place, but Brooke’s family have been informed and continue to be supported by officers."

Police previously said they believe Brooke never entered her house after being dropped nearby in a car on her way home from a night out.

She was thought to have walked towards a bridge which goes over the river near her home, prompting a huge search operation.

Brooke's rugby team shared several appeals about her whereabouts, while former Wales rugby star and BBC commentator Jonathan Davies also shared an appeal.
