Desperately seeking Sue: Police search launched over mystery message in Oxfordshire field
Written by News on 04/11/2017
A cryptic message spotted in a field in Oxfordshire has had curious social media users – and police – searching for a mystery ‘Sue’.
In a picture tweeted by the National Police Air Service (NPAS), the letters SUE x could be seen etched into the field in Tetsworth, near Thame.
Police encouraged social media users to spread the message "far and wide" to track down the mystery Sue.
For two days, she kept officers guessing – but they now say they have managed to trace her.
In a message on Friday, NPAS Benson tweeted: "Thanks for the info ppl, we’ve managed to track down Sue! She’s remaining anonymous and the sign is a personal msg!"

A possible clue may have come from an Oxfordshire helicopter charter.
Top Flight Helicopters tweeted on Thursday: "It looks like @NPASBenson have spotted the #FindSue message that one [of] the @TopFlightHeli team Dad’s has written for his Wife!".
Before then, Twitter users were coming up with a number of helpful suggestions as to who the mystery Sue could be.
One said she "must be a pilot", while another said: "Those aliens are getting ever more sophisticated!"
"You sure it’s not an advert for a local law firm," one user suggested.
The NPAS helicopters have 15 bases across the UK.
Pilots are civilians who have experience of flying either military or commercial helicopters.
