'Dr. Who' Actress Tanya Fear Allegedly Spotted At Trader Joe's After Being Reported Missing, Loved Ones Plead For Help
Tanya Fear was allegedly spotted at Trader Joe’s days after her family reported the British actress missing — however, the search continues.
The Twitter account @helpfindtanyafear posted an update in the early hours of Monday, September 13. "UPDATE: Tanya was last seen on 12th September at Trader Joe's on 7310 Santa Monica Blvd (close to N. La Brea Ave). Anyone in that area please keep your eyes open! Thank you for all the help!" the tweet read. "Contact @FindTanyaFear or (213)-927-2971 #findtanyafear #MissingPerson.”
Another update shared by the account — run by family, according to the account’s bio — revealed the Dr. Who actress was “last seen wearing a short-sleeved brown collard fitted top with a few buttons at the top and dark plaid pants (I think they are pants but could be shorts or something else).”
It appears the social media account was created on Sunday, September 12. "This account is dedicated to finding our beloved Tanya Fear who went missing in the Hollywood Bowl area on 9th Sep 2021," the account's first post read. "Tanya has a distinct British accent, is 5ft4, weighs about 140lbs, brown eyes, black hair."
Fear (real name: Tanyaradzwa Fear) — who had recently relocated to Los Angeles — was reported missing by family on September 9, according to ABC7. "Since she's been here, she's had a great career and this is just the beginning," her manager Alex Cole told the outlet. "We're obviously concerned and (hope) we find out this is a simple mistake and we find her."
