Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

POLICE searching for the missing computer operator Kirsty Carver yesterday found the body of a woman on the remote Spurn Point area of east Yorkshire.

Inspector Steve Love, of Humberside police, said the identity of the woman had not yet been established but that Ms Carver's parents had been informed.

A man was still being questioned last night about the disappearance of 22-year-old Ms Carver, who went missing a month ago. The 23-year-old man works at a petrol station in Willerby, Hull, half-a-mile from the spot where Ms Carver's car was found, with the keys in the ignition, early on 5 March.
