Marina Joyce publishes video saying she's ok after #SaveMarinaJoyce hashtag

YouTube star Marina Joyce has been found after going missing for nine days.

The charity Missing People released an appeal for the 22-year-old to get in touch amid claims she went missing from her home town of Haringey, London on 31 July, but her boyfriend posted Brandon Mehmed on Instagram to say that “she is safe and well”.

The appeal is officially closed.

Joyce, who is best known for posting beauty videos onto YouTube, will post a video explaining the reason behind her mysterious disappearance, according to Mehmed.

In 2016, fans were left convinced that she had signalled for help during a video titled “DATE OUTFIT IDEAS” after seemingly whispering “help me”. It also seemed like her arms were covered in bruises.

Following the release of the video, viewers began to analyse it for clues believing her to frightened of someone behind the camera.

It caused such a panic that Enfield Police visited her and assured fans that she was “safe and well”.

Joyce caused a stir weeks later after claiming she had discovered “secrets” about life after death, telling her followers: “I know that I can still contact humans during the afterlife.”

She explained to her fans that she wanted to create a shrine where she could draw, meditate and “find... extreme spiritual help and guidance”.
