How did ‘Doctor Who’ cast member Tanya Fear vanish?

It’s unsurprising that with a show as long-running as Doctor Who that there wouldn’t be a few tragedies mixed in with its cast. From untimely deaths to scandals, you don’t have a series as old as Doctor Who without a few behind-the-scenes tragedies regarding the cast. Given the large-scale nature of the show, it even includes people who have been on the series for just one episode. 

The latest Doctor Who cast member to run into trouble is Tanya Fear, who appeared in a 2018 episode of the beloved BBC sci-fi series. She was reported missing on Thursday, Sept. 9 in Los Angeles. Using the hashtag #FindTanyaFear, her family had been working hard to spread her story and try to find her whereabouts. Details of why she disappeared, however, are scarce. 

Luckily, however, Tanya Fear had been found by the LAPD, who said that no foul play was involved in her disappearance. The case is now closed. Hopefully, the loved ones of Fear can help her get whatever help she needs or figure out what exactly led to her disappearance. As the case largely played out on social media, we’re going to track it through the posts.
