A Channel 4 worker was found dead in the sea more than 100 miles from her home, an inquest has heard.
Television librarian Lolita Visa, 32, was pulled from the sea off the coast of Llandudno in North Wales on August 26.
An inquest heard how she had travelled from her home in Halifax, West Yorkshire, to visit her father in Manchester.
She then went to Liverpool, where she sent a photo to her dad, before sending him another image from Llandudno on August 22.
Her family, who had become worried, reported her as missing to West Yorkshire Police.
North Wales Police were then contacted three days later before a member of the public called HM Coastguard reporting a body in the water the following day.
