Missing girl's body found in wood

Carina Stephenson was due to appear in a reality TV show

Detectives searching woodland for a teenage girl who went missing five days ago say they have found her body.

Carina Stephenson, 17, was last seen when she left her home in Branton, Doncaster, on Wednesday saying she was going see a friend in Armthorpe.

A police spokesman said the death is not being treated as suspicious. A post mortem test will take place next week.

Miss Stephenson's parents had put up posters asking for the public's help in tracing their daughter.

Detectives had also seized the teenager's computer to trawl through her e-mails for clues as to where she might be.

Fly-on-the-wall series

Miss Stephenson and her family were due to appear in a reality television show for the History Channel next month. The programme was filmed in Australia last year.

The teenager, along with her 13-year-old brother and parents, John and Liz, spent four months filming the fly-on-the-wall series which aimed to show how modern day families would have coped as settlers in Australia in 1800.

Her family say she appeared "happy and normal" in the days before her death.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "A body found in woodland in Branton, South Yorkshire, has been identified as that of Carina Louise Stephenson.

"Carina was found by police search teams just before 1600 BST in woods off Kilham Lane, Brampton."
