Neighbours speak out on disappearance of Katy Perry's songwriter

Fears are growing for the safety of a musician who co-wrote the hit Katy Perry song “Walking on Air” after she mysteriously vanished from Beverly Hills almost two months ago.

Camela Leierth-Segura, a 48-year-old Swedish native who had moved to California, was last seen in the Beverly Hills area back on 29 June, according to the California Department of Justice’s missing persons page.

Her friends told ABC7 they last heard from her on 30 June and that her car – a 2010 silver Ford Fusion – was seen during the night.

A missing persons report was filed when Ms Leierth-Segura’s sister, who lives in Sweden, hadn’t heard from her in weeks and so contacted friends in the US to help find her.

Now, six weeks on from when she was last seen, the talented musician, her car and her 19-year-old pet cat Morris are still missing.

A longtime friend Cecilia Foss told The Independent that she fears that someone has abducted her and is holding her somewhere.

“My worst fear is that someone has her, and is hurting her,” Ms Foss said, saying it is out of character for the musician to disappear.
