Three women and two men missing for second day after night out in Wales

The family and friends of three women and two men are appealing for help to find them after they went missing following a night out in the early hours of Saturday (March 4).

Sophie Russon, Eve Smith, and Darcy Ross, all 20 years old and from Newport, were at the Muffler bar and club in Maesglas in Newport on Friday evening before friends believe they headed to Trecco Bay in Porthcawl with Shane Loughlin and one other man who is also believed to be missing, reports WalesOnline. The publication is seeking confirmation of the name of the second man.

Relatives of the three women said none of them have been seen or heard from since 2am on Saturday and none of them have been active on social media. Ms Smith’s car is still at the Muffler club according to her sister Lauren Doyle.

In a post Ms Doyle said: “It is known that they went to the Muffler in Maesglas and then went to Trecco Bay on Friday night but left there to an unknown location during the night. They were last seen at approximately 2am.

“None of them have made contact with friends or family, which is very unusual. We are all worried sick and thinking the worst.”

A relative of Shane Loughlin has also said he is missing and his family are working with the police to try and find him. Family and friends of all five people have taken to social media to share pictures of them in a plea for help.

A Gwent Police spokesperson said the force is investigating.
