Friends of missing Katy Perry songwriter fear she was abducted

A musician who wrote songs for Katy Perry has mysteriously disappeared, and fears are growing as the weeks pass by.

Swedish-born Camela Leierth-Segura, 48, was last seen or heard from on 29 June in the Beverly Hills area, according to the California Department of Justice’s missing persons page.

Her car was reportedly captured on CCTV ‘in the middle of the night’ the following evening, but it is not clear who was driving. Ever since, the musician, her 2010 silver Ford Fusion, and her 19-year-old pet cat Morris are nowhere to be found.

Leierth – who co-wrote Katy’s song Walking on Air – was reportedly struggling with money, according to her friend Liz Montgomery.

‘She had mentioned it to all of us that she was having trouble; Covid definitely was not helpful for her because she’s a musician, model, actress, all that stuff,’ Montgomery told The Los Angeles Times. ‘And there was no money coming in.’

But those close to her say it’s out of character for Leierth to disappear like this. Longtime friend Cecilia Foss fears she may have been abducted.

‘My worst fear is that someone has her, and is hurting her,’ Foss told The Independent.

‘If she was going for a drive to clear her head, I get it,’ she added. ‘But it’s been seven weeks. And no one has heard from her. Nobody goes for a seven-week drive.’

Leierth’s sister, who lives in Sweden, had raised alarm with Montgomery after not hearing back from the model. The latter then filed the missing persons report.

‘I’d like to think nothing bad happened, but do I think something bad happened? Yeah,’ another friend told KABC.

According to friends, Leierth had been evicted from her apartment before her mysterious disappearance because she had been unable to pay the rent.

In an Instagram post, Montgomery asked for help from the public.

‘We are extremely worried about her safety, and despite our best efforts, the local authorities have not been able to locate her,’ she wrote.

‘She means the world to us and time is of the essence. Her family in Sweden is pleading for your assistance.’

A GoFundMe has been created by her sister Lisa and loved ones are hoping money will help bring in information to find her.
