Megan, who disappeared after a night out last Thursday morning, had been at a bar just days earlier, where her friend Alanah Thorley had expressed her concern at a ‘stalker’.

'Megan has gone to the toilet and this creepy guy keeps staring at me and winking, probably gonna get murdered tonight and it's only 8pm,' she wrote.

'Me and Megan got up to leave and creepy guy asked us where we were going, even though he hasn't spoken to us all night.... Ergh creep?'

'Sat in a different pub and the creepy guy has just turned up and sat with us and said 'can't believe you here'. Wtf go away creep?

'He just told us he's from Shrilanka (sic) and nobody even asked.. We are not stupid girls so stop following us and go away before I hit you ffs?'Megan told him our real names the maniac, this is so awkward he's hovering around us pls just go?’

Police say 20-year-old Megan was last seen in the early hours of Thursday morning with a group of people shortly after leaving a nightclub in York.

Sadly they were only alerted to her disappearance on Sunday, as her friends thought she had gone home.

Speaking about Megan's disappearance, Miss Thorley wrote on her Facebook:

‘Her phone has been off since Wednesday night. We all assumed she went home for the weekend or went to see her ex and her phone had died.

‘When all her friends spoke last night and realised nobody had got in touch we became concerned as it is very out of character for her. So we contacted her mum.

‘She then didn’t turn up to her lecture this morning and we reported it. It’s been discovered that it is likely she didn’t go to her own house on Wednesday night.’

This morning North Yorkshire Police searched the River Ouse, where she was last seen on CCTV with a group of people near Lendal Bridge, which has no barriers and crosses the river.

Superintendent Phil Cain said:

'We are exploring with friends who are aware of a Twitter message, which was commenting about a male in a bar where Megan was at the time.

'Friends are convinced there was nothing to suggest Megan was being stalked at that stage. We do not believe that is connected to Megan’s disappearance. At this moment in time there’s no suggestion of any criminality whatsoever and we are treating this as a missing from home.

‘We are very concerned for Megan's welfare and are urging the public to help us establish her movements in the early hours of Thursday.'
