- She was last seen meeting a man with flowers at the airport.

A 21-year-old British woman, Katherine Esther Gamboa Kerwood, has vanished while on a solo sightseeing trip to California. Kerwood traveled alone from London, arriving on March 31 for a week-long visit.
Her father reported that airport security footage showed her meeting a man, believed to be named David, who had previously met her in the UK. She was last seen with him at the airport.
Kerwood's family has not heard from her since Friday, which is considered highly unusual for her. She had planned to visit Sacramento, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz.
A text message indicated she was in a Sacramento hostel, but she never checked in. Police in both the US and UK are investigating her disappearance, and she was due to fly back to London on Wednesday.
