Body found in search for missing sister-in-law of The Office star Mackenzie Crook

A body has been found by police searching for the missing sister-in-law of actor Mackenzie Crook. Laurel Aldridge, who was 62, was reported missing from her home in the village of Walberton, near Arundel in West Sussex, on February 14 and was last seen at Slindon Cricket Club around two-and-a-half miles away.

 

A Sussex Police spokesperson said on Saturday: “Sadly the body of a woman has been found in the Tortington Lane area of Arundel.

“At this stage, the family of missing Laurel Aldridge have been informed and we are seeking to confirm the identity of the woman.”

Crook, who is known for roles in The Office, Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Detectorists and Worzel Gummidge, had made public appeals to find his wife’s elder sister and said her disappearance was “agonising” for the family.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, the actor said he and the family were “clutching at straws” but remained “determined and driven” to find Ms Aldridge.
