A student who was reported missing after skipping Christmas lunch at her parents' house has been found safe and well three days later.

Isabel Gayther was reported missing by her mother Elizabeth on Boxing Day after failing to turn up at her £500,000 family home in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, for the annual festivities.

As police launched a public appeal for the 21-year-old - describing her disappearance as 'extremely out of character' - several posts were written on Ms Gayther's Facebook wall, hinting at a family feud.

Another post suggested she was safe and included complaints that her parents' concern was 'embarrassing' and made her 'look like a c***'.

The student (pictured) was last seen in London on a night out with friends on Christmas Eve and her parents reported her missing on Boxing Day

After the missing person's appeal was launched, the King's College student posted on Facebook to say she was safe well. But she still did not make contact with police or her parents

The 21-year-old later shared a link with the caption 'should you divorce your mother?'

Ms Gayther's posts led to backlash on social media, and she hit back at those who called her 'selfish'

But, despite her social media presence, police said the Hispanic Studies students had still not made contact with her family or officers, meaning someone else could have used her account.

However, a Met Police spokesman confirmed this morning that Ms Gayther had been found at an address in north London.

It is not known where Ms Gayther has spent the past few days but a spokesman confirmed the appeal had ended.

They added: 'Officers have seen and spoken with Isabel and are satisfied that she is safe and well.'

The King's College student had last been seen on Christmas Eve at her Unite Students halls of residence in New Cross, south east London.

Police said she had not been in touch with her family and her disappearance was 'out of character'.

But after a media appeal was launched, several posts appeared on her Facebook wall, with one stating she had 'not been held hostage'.

The post read: 'Am not on my way to Syria or being held hostage. Promise.

'A day and half I'm out of contact and this is what happens??? I AM NOT MISSING peace.'

A later post added that it was the second time her mother had reported her missing.

'I just keep coming back,' it said. 'Now I look like a c***.'

Several hours later, another post appeared to hint at a family argument.

It read: 'One word Enmeshment mother enmeshment...'. Enmeshment was a term coined by Argentine family therapist Salvador Minuchin in the 70s to describe a situation where 'over-concern' by family members stops a person 'developing'.

A meme entitled 'should you divorce your mother?' was later shared on her page.

The student's disappearance had been described as 'extremely out of character' and police continued to investigate despite her social media presence

Ms Gayther's posts led to backlash on social media, with several people criticising her for failing to get in touch with her parents.

When one person called her 'selfish', she replied 'why the f*** do you care' before adding: 'Haven't u got better things to do? Like go to sales or or buy a new tracksuit [sic]'.

Earlier yesterday, a Met police spokesman admitted the situation looked like a 'misunderstanding' but said the appeal had to continue because they still did not know where Ms Gayther was.

They had said: ‘We are aware that on Tuesday 27 December messages have been sent via Isabel’s Facebook account.

It is not know where Ms Gayther has spent the past few days but police said they were 'satisfied' that she is safe and well

‘At this stage, officers are yet to speak with Isabel. As such, a police investigation continues with the aim of establishing that she is indeed safe and well.’

Yesterday, Ms Gayther's father Jonathan confirmed the police appeal was continuing.

Wearing a dressing gown as he opened the door, he told MailOnline: 'There is no comment and please be aware that there is an [police] investigation so we would appreciate some privacy.'
